MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI FOR WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
2007

All the Churches for all the world



Dear brothers and sisters,

at the next World Mission Day, I invite the entire People of God - Pastors, priests, religious and laity - to reflect together on the urgency and importance, even in our time, the Church's missionary work. Do not cease to ring out as a universal call and a heartfelt appeal, the words with which Jesus Christ, crucified and risen Christ, before ascending to heaven, the missionary mandate entrusted to the Apostles: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all I have commanded you. " And he added: "Here I am with you always, until the end of the world" (Mt 28:19-20). In the demanding work of evangelization we are sustained and accompanied by the certainty that He, the Lord of the harvest, is with us and continues to guide his people. And 'Christ is the inexhaustible source of the Church's mission. This year, a further reason impels us to renew our missionary commitment: it marks the 50th anniversary of the Servant of God Pius XII, Fidei donum, with which promoted and encouraged cooperation between Churches for the mission ad gentes.

"All the Churches for all the world": this is the theme chosen for the next World Mission Day. It invites the local Churches of every continent to a shared awareness of the urgent need to relaunch missionary activity to meet the many serious challenges of our time. Have of course changed the conditions in which humanity lives, and in recent decades a great effort was made to spread the Gospel, especially since the Second Vatican Council. However, much remains to be done to respond to the missionary that the Lord never tires of addressing to every baptized person. He continues to call, first, the so-called Churches of ancient tradition, which once provided the missions, as well as material resources, including un numero consistente di sacerdoti, religiosi, religiose e laici, dando vita a un’efficace cooperazione fra comunità cristiane. Da questa cooperazione sono scaturiti abbondanti frutti apostolici sia per le giovani Chiese in terra di missione, che per le realtà ecclesiali da cui provenivano i missionari. Dinanzi all’avanzata della cultura secolarizzata, che talora sembra penetrare sempre più nelle società occidentali, considerando inoltre la crisi della famiglia, la diminuzione delle vocazioni e il progressivo invecchiamento del clero, queste Chiese corrono il rischio di rinchiudersi in se stesse, di guardare con ridotta speranza al futuro e di rallentare il loro sforzo missionario. Ma è proprio questo il momento di aprirsi con fiducia the Providence of God, who never abandons his people and that, with the power of the Holy Spirit, guides them towards the fulfillment of his eternal design of salvation.

to dedicate themselves generously to the missio ad gentes the Good Shepherd also invites the recently evangelized Churches. Despite the many difficulties and obstacles in their development, these communities have been rising steadily. Some abundance of priests and consecrated persons, many of whom, although there are so many needs on the ground, are nevertheless sent to carry out their pastoral ministry and their apostolic service elsewhere, even in lands evangelized long ago. There is thus a providential "exchange of gifts" which will benefit the entire Mystical Body of Christ. I warmly hope that missionary cooperation will be intensified and the potential and charisms of each one. I also hope that World Mission Sunday help make us more aware of all the Christian communities and every baptized person who is the universal call of Christ to spread his Kingdom to the farthest corners of the planet. "The Church is missionary by nature - Pope John Paul II in the Encyclical Redemptoris missio - because the mandate of Christ is not something contingent or external, but reaches the heart of the Church. It follows that the universal Church and each individual Church is sent to the Gentiles. The same Younger churches should participate as soon as possible and in fact the universal mission of the Church, sending their own missionaries to preach the gospel throughout the world, even if they suffer from a shortage of clergy "(n. 61).

Fifty years after the historic appeal of my predecessor Pius XII with the Encyclical Fidei donum for cooperation between the Churches to serve the mission, I would like to reiterate that the proclamation of the Gospel continues to be timely and of ' urgency. The above-mentioned Encyclical Redemptoris Missio, Pope John Paul II, for his part, acknowledged that "the Church's mission is wider than the" communion between the Churches; it must also be oriented and primarily to missionary activity as such "(n. 65). The missionary, therefore, remains, as repeatedly stressed, the first service that the Church owes to humanity today to guide and evangelize the cultural, social and ethical to offer Christ's salvation to the people of our time, in many parts of the world are humiliated and oppressed by endemic poverty, violence and the systematic denial of human rights.

this universal mission, the Church can not escape, for her it has a binding force. Since Christ first entrusted to Peter and the Apostles, the missionary mandate, today it is primarily the responsibility the Successor of Peter whom divine Providence has chosen as the visible foundation of the Church, and Bishops directly responsible for the evangelization and as members of the Episcopal College and as Pastors of particular Churches (cf. Redemptoris Missio, 63). I therefore appeal to the pastors of all churches by the Lord to guide his flock, to share in the pressing and spreading the Gospel. It was this concern that push, fifty years ago, the Servant of God Pius XII to bring missionary cooperation more responsive to the needs of the times. Particular concern for the prospects of evangelization he asked the community evangelized long to send priests to support the recently founded Churches. Such a new life as a "missionary party" which, by the words of the first, took its name of "Fidei donum". He wrote: "Whereas on the one hand the countless multitudes of our children, especially in countries of ancient Christian tradition, participate in good faith, and the other the far more numerous throngs of those who are still waiting for the message of salvation , we feel the burning desire to exhort you, Venerable Brethren, to support with zealous interest the most holy cause of bringing the Church into the world. " And he added: "God grant that Following our appeal in the missionary spirit penetrates deeper into the heart of all the priests, and through their ministry on fire all the faithful "(AAS 1957 XLIX, 226).

We thank the Lord for the abundant fruits obtained by this missionary cooperation in Africa and other regions of the earth. Throngs of priests, after leaving their native communities, have devoted their apostolic energy to community service sometimes only recently come into areas of poverty in the developing world. Among them are many martyrs, the testimony of their words and apostolic dedication, have joined the sacrifice of life. Nor can we forget the many religious and lay volunteers who, together with the priests, spared no effort to spread the Gospel to the ends of the world. World Mission Day be an occasion to remember in prayer these brothers and sisters in the faith and those who continue to work in the vast missionary field. We ask God that their example may everywhere inspire new vocations and a renewed mission awareness in the Christian people. In fact, every Christian community is born missionary, and it is based on the courage to evangelize that measures the believers' love for their Lord. We could thus say that, for the individual faithful, it is not simply of collaborating in evangelizing, but to feel themselves actors and share responsibility for the Church's mission. This responsibility entails the growth of communion between the communities and increases the mutual help in relation to both the personnel (priests, religious and lay volunteers) and the use of the means necessary for evangelization today.

Dear brothers and sisters, the missionary mandate entrusted by Christ to the Apostles truly involves us all. The World Mission Day is therefore a favorable opportunity to acquire a deeper awareness and to work together appropriate spiritual and formative itineraries which encourage inter-Church cooperation and the preparation of new missionaries to spread the Gospel in our time. Do not forget however, that the first and priority contribution that we are called to offer the Church's missionary activity is prayer. "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few - the Lord says -. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest "(Luke 10:2). "In the first place - he wrote fifty years ago, Pope Pius XII of venerable memory - Pray then, Venerable Brethren, to pray more. Remember the immense spiritual needs of so many people still so far from the true faith or who stand in such perseverance (cf. n.., P.. 240). And urged to increase the number of Masses offered for the missions, saying that "this answers the wishes of the Lord, who loves his Church and wishes to extend and thriving in every corner of the earth "(ibid., p.. 239).

Dear brothers and sisters, I renew this invitation as ever. Be extended in every community the choral invocation of the "Our Father in heaven", so that his kingdom on earth. I appeal especially to children and young people, always ready for generous missionary. I address the sick and the suffering, recalling the value of their mysterious and indispensable collaboration in the work of salvation. I ask the consecrated people, especially those in cloistered monasteries, to intensify their prayers for the missions. Thanks to of every believer, is being extended throughout the Church the spiritual network of prayer and support for evangelization. The Virgin Mary, who accompanied with motherly solicitude the nascent Church, guide our footsteps in our time and we get a new Pentecost of love. Make us, in particular, aware of all missionaries, called by the Lord to be His witnesses in every moment of our existence. Priests "Fidei donum", religious, women religious and lay volunteers working on the frontiers of evangelization as well as those who in various ways are dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel promise to remember you in my prayers daily, and impart love to all my Apostolic Blessing.

From the Vatican, May 27, 2007, Solemnity of Pentecost.

The Holy Father Benedict XVI's Wednesday Audience

Audience of 17 October 2007

Cari fratelli e sorelle, questa mattina vi invito a riflettere su sant’Eusebio di Vercelli, il primo Vescovo dell’Italia settentrionale di cui abbiamo notizie sicure. Nato in Sardegna all’inizio del IV secolo, ancora in tenera età si trasferì a Roma con la sua famiglia. Più tardi venne istituito lettore: entrò così a far parte del clero dell’Urbe, in un tempo in cui la Chiesa era gravemente provata dall’eresia ariana. La grande stima che crebbe attorno a Eusebio spiega la sua elezione nel 345 alla cattedra episcopale di Vercelli. Il nuovo Vescovo iniziò subito un’intensa opera di evangelizzazione in un territorio ancora in gran parte pagano, specialmente nelle zone rurali. Ispirato da sant’Atanasio - Who wrote the Life of Saint Anthony, founder of monasticism in the East - founded in Vercelli, a priestly community, similar to a monastic community. This monastery gave to the clergy of northern Italy a significant stamp of apostolic sanctity, and caused major figures of bishops, as Limena and Onorato, the successors of Eusebius of Vercelli, Novara Gaudenzio, Esuperanzio in Tortona, Eustathius in Aosta, Eulogio Ivrea, Massimo in Turin, all venerated by the Church as santi.Solidamente formed in the Nicene faith, Eusebius defended with all his strength the full divinity of Jesus Christ, as defined by the Nicene Creed "one in being" the Father. To this end he allied himself with the great Fathers of the fourth century - especially with St. Athanasius, bishop of Nicene orthodoxy - filoariana policy against the Emperor. For the emperor the simpler Arian faith seemed more useful politically as an ideology of empire. For him the truth did not matter, but the political opportunity: he wanted to exploit religion as a bond of unity of the empire. But these great fathers resisted defending the truth against the domination of politics. For this reason, Eusebius was condemned to exile like so many other Bishops of the East and West: the same as Athanasius, Hilary of Poitiers as - we spoke last time - as Osio de Córdoba. A Scythopolis in Palestine, where he was confined between 355 and 360, Eusebius wrote a wonderful page of his life. Here, too, founded a monastery with a small group of disciples, and from there took care of the correspondence with his followers in Piedmont, as shown above the second of three letters Eusebian recognized as authentic. Then, after the 360, was exiled to Cappadocia and in the Thebaid where he underwent severe physical abuse. In 361, Constantius II died, succeeded by the Emperor Julian, called the Apostate, who was not interested in Christianity as the religion of the empire, but simply wanted to restore paganism. He ended the exile of bishops and allowed these so also Eusebius to repossess his home. In 362 he was invited to participate by Anastasius the Council of Alexandria, who decided to pardon Arian bishops provided they returned to the lay state. Eusebius was able to exercise for another ten years until his death, the episcopal ministry, realizing with his city an exemplary relationship, he never failed to inspire the pastoral service of other bishops of northern Italy, which we will in the next catechesis, as St. Ambrose of Milan and St. Maximus of Torino.Il relationship between the Bishop of Vercelli and his city is lit primarily from two witnesses letters. The first is in the letter cited above, that Eusebius wrote from exile in Scythopolis "dear brothers and priests to long for, and the holy people in the faith of Vercelli, Novara, Ivrea and Tortona" (Ep. secunda, CCL 9, p. 104). These initial expressions which indicate that the emotion of the Good Shepherd in front of his flock, are widely reflected at the end of the letter in his father's warmest greetings to each and every one of his sons in Vercelli, overflowing with expressions of affection and amore.E 'to note first of all express the relationship that binds to the Bishop sanctae plebes not only Vercellae / Vercelli - the first and, for some years, the only diocese in the Piedmont - but also of Novara / Novara, Eporedia / Ivrea Dertona / Tortona that is, those Christian communities within the same diocese had reached a certain consistency and autonomy. Another interesting element is provided by the parting which concludes the letter: Eusebius asks his sons and his daughters to say goodbye "even those who are outside the Church, and deign to entertain feelings of love for us: etiam hos here Foris dignantur diligere sunt et nos. " A clear sign that the relationship between the Bishop and his city was not limited to the Christian population, but also extended to those who - outside the Church - I somehow recognized the spiritual authority and loved this man second esemplare.La testimony to the unique relationship the Bishop with his city comes from the letter that St. Ambrose of Milan wrote to Vercellesi around 394, more than twenty years after the death of Eusebius (Ep. extra collectionem 14: Maur. 63). The Church of Vercelli was going through a difficult time: it was divided and without a shepherd. Ambrose said frankly to hesitate to recognize in those Vercellesi "the descent of the holy fathers, who approved of Eusebius as soon as they saw, without having met him before then, forgetting even their fellow citizens." In the same letter, the bishop of Milan as clearly attests to his esteem of Eusebius: "Such a great man," he writes in a peremptory manner, "well deserved to be elected by the whole Church. "Ambrose's admiration for Eusebius was based on the fact that the Bishop of Vercelli ruled the diocese with the testimony of his life:" With the austerity of fasting ruled his Church. "In fact, even Ambrose was fascinated - as he himself admits - by the monastic contemplation of God, which Eusebius had pursued the footsteps of the prophet Elijah. First - notes Ambrose - Bishop of Vercelli gathered his clergy communis in life and raised him to the ' observance of monastic rules, despite living in the middle of the city. "The bishop and his clergy had to share the problems of citizens, and they did so at the same time cultivating their own credibility una cittadinanza diversa, quella del Cielo (cfr Eb 13,14). E così hanno realmente costruito una vera cittadinanza, una vera solidarietà comune tra i cittadini di Vercelli.Così Eusebio, mentre faceva sua la causa della sancta plebs di Vercelli, viveva in mezzo alla città come un monaco, aprendo la città verso Dio. Questo tratto, quindi, nulla tolse al suo esemplare dinamismo pastorale. Sembra fra l'altro che egli abbia istituito a Vercelli le pievi per un servizio ecclesiale ordinato e stabile, e che abbia promosso i santuari mariani per la conversione delle popolazioni rurali pagane. Piuttosto, questo "tratto monastico" conferiva una dimensione peculiare al rapporto del Vescovo con la sua città. Come già gli apostoli, per i quali Gesù pregava nella sua Ultima Cena, i Pastori e i fedeli della Chiesa "sono nel mondo" (Gv 17,11), ma non sono "del mondo". Perciò i pastori - ricordava Eusebio - devono esortare i fedeli a non considerare le città del mondo come la loro dimora stabile, ma a cercare la Città futura, la definitiva Gerusalemme del cielo. Questa "riserva escatologica" consente ai pastori e ai fedeli di salvare la scala giusta dei valori, senza mai piegarsi alle mode del momento e alle pretese ingiuste del potere politico in carica. La scala autentica dei valori – sembra dire la vita intera di Eusebio – non viene dagli imperatori di ieri e di oggi, ma viene da Gesù Cristo, l’Uomo perfetto, uguale al Padre nella divinità, yet a man like us. Referring to this scale of values, Eusebius never tires to "recommend strongly" on his followers to "keep the faith with care, to maintain harmony, to be assiduous in prayer" (Ep. secunda, cited).. Dear Friends, I urge you with all my heart these perennial values, and I greet and bless you with the same words with which the holy Bishop Eusebius concluded his second letter: "I address you, my holy brothers and sisters , sons and daughters, faithful of both sexes and all ages, and I urge ... to bring our greetings also to those who are outside the Church, and deign to entertain feelings of love for us "(ibid.).

How many people still live in abject poverty! The disparity between rich and poor has become more evident and disturbing, even within the most economically advanced nations. This situation is worrying the conscience of humanity, since the conditions in which a great number of people are likely to offend the dignity of human beings and to compromise, therefore, the authentic and harmonious progress of the world community.
