Appell der polnischen Bischöfe von der Kontaktgruppe mit der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz
Die Versöhnung ist ein Wort, das seit über einem Vierteljahrhundert die polnisch-deutschen Beziehungen definiert. Das ist ein groβer Wert, den man erreichte und den wir aufrechterhalten dank der Bemühungen der Politiker sowie der Menschen guten Willens auf beiden Seiten der Grenze. Wir sind uns jedoch bewusst, dass man ihn leicht verlieren kann durch voreilige Entschlüsse, und sogar durch zu übereilt ausgesprochene Worte. Gleichzeitig erinnern wir uns daran, dass die patriotische Pflicht darin besteht, „sich für den Werk der gesellschaftlichen Versöhnung einsetzen, durch die Erinnerung an die Wahrheit über die Würde jedes Menschen, die Entschärfung übermäßiger politischer Emotionen, das Hinweisen und das Erweitern der Gebiete der möglichen und der für Polen unerlässlichen Zusammenarbeit über die Teilungen, sowie durch den Schutz des öffentlichen Lebens vor der unnötigen Politisierung ( so „Die christliche Form des Patriotismus“).
"Missionary of Mercy" Fr. Panneer Selvam, part 2
This year’s Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season have taken on a special connotation and colour, occurring during the current Jubilee Year of Mercy. Pope Francis marked the beginning of the Church's Lenten journey by sending out several hundred religious and diocesan priests from around the world as "Missionaries of Mercy" to their local churches and communities. At the Feb. 10 Ash Wednesday Mass in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pope officially commissioned 762 priests with the task, empowering them to forgive even the sins that are reserved for the Holy See to pardon. The original plan of the Holy Father was to have just 800 Missionaries of Mercy. But with overwhelming requests from around the world, he ended up choosing over 1,000. Of these, 762 were specially invited to the Vatican for the official ceremony.
The welcome of Pope Francis by Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki
Welcoming the Pope at Wawel, Polish Episcopal Conference President Abp. Stanislaw Gadecki said that the pontiff's pilgrimage came during the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. "The church in Poland feels a special responsibility in this area. This is because the message of mercy is closely connected with a daughter of our country, St. Faustina Kowalska, as well as with St. Pope John Paul II, both of whom - through their lives and their writing - brought its value closer to us," he remarked.
