Many of the ideas put forward by modern society lead nowhere 195 7| John Paul II, the brilliant founder of the World Youth Days - 196 23| as something for later. Fr Delp once said that nothing 197 19| Europe, and likewise in France, Spain and elsewhere, we 198 30| fear of losing personal freedom. ~ 199 | further 200 16| and dechristianization are gaining ground, that relativism 201 42| noted that Pope John Paul II gave us two exceptional instruments: 202 22| invites us to turn our gaze to the future.

In Italy, half a million copies have already 223 25| him. Two things certainly happened in the Magi: first they 224 1| like to express my great happiness at once again having the 225 10| people are ready to work hard for their own faith and 226 30| capacity to be decisive. A Head of State who paid me a visit 227 24| human realities can make no headway. ~ 228 30| teach them discernment, a healthy realism, the capacity to 229 45| willingness to be called and to hear such a call may increase. ~ 230 17| Church and has often not even heard of either Christ or the 231 52| which at the same time is a heartfelt brotherly request: always 232 2| that we all have in our hearts. ~ 233 41| Perhaps on the one hand, heathens should have access to a 234 6| express to me too what he held particularly dear: the union 235 39| effective. I read in the HERDER-Korrespondenz that you have published 236 7| The Holy Father John Paul II, the 237 42| Today, in my Homily I noted that Pope John Paul 238 24| is not a priority to pay honour to God, human realities 239 5| whole of Germany has offered hospitality to the guests and has set 240 32| people in the country that hosts it. Preparing for the event 241 6| Boniface will also be in my house and will thus visibly express 242 | However 243 11| its own context, its own humus, in which to grow and take 244 36| their future. Many of the ideas put forward by modern society 245 13| scattering the seed of the Word, identifying with people. Thus, they 246 | if 247 13| regions beyond the wildest imagination, scattering the seed of 248 13| with people. Thus, they imbue this threatened world, invaded 249 53| and of the Church, and I impart my Apostolic Blessing to 250 21| proclaiming Christ anew and of implanting the faith. ~ 251 41| and pave the way to the impulse to contemplate, love and 252 30| concern was the widespread inability to make definitive decisions 253 35| young people in Germany has increased.~ 254 43| of catechesis, so that by increasing the knowledge of our faith 255 30| the other, we in turn must inculcate in young people patience, 256 | Indeed 257 26| great pilgrimage towards the infinite; we, as believers, are always 258 16| is growing and that the influence of Catholic ethics and morals 259 7| the World Youth Days - an insight that I consider an inspiration - 260 7| insight that I consider an inspiration - has shown that both parties 261 14| forgotten and will always inspire courage and joy. ~ 262 23| Paul II was tremendously inspired in choosing for this World 263 14| schools and other Catholic institutions and organizations for youth 264 42| gave us two exceptional instruments: the Catechism of the Catholic 265 14| In saying this, I do not intend to be exhaustive about everything 266 4| thank the Lord. We also interpret it as a duty to do our part 267 27| the Psalms, St Augustine interprets so splendidly the expression " 268 13| imbue this threatened world, invaded by so many negative things 269 22| only a few brief comments, invites us to turn our gaze to the 270 13| New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and regions beyond the wildest 271 50| which to go deeply into the issues that challenge our common 272 42| for World Youth Day. In Italy, half a million copies have 273 37| acquainted with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Even in the traditionally 274 18| on the occasion of the Jubilee of St Boniface: "We have 275 15| splendour. We should lovingly keep these before us too, at 276 48| Church and passion for the Kingdom of God. ~ 277 25| spontaneously fall to our knees and adore him.

This is true for large 282 | last 283 33| Lastly, the celebration itself 284 | later 285 36| forward by modern society lead nowhere and unfortunately, 286 52| I leave you with my affectionate 287 6| and in Rome. Just as he led the Church in Germany to 288 50| pilgrimage of young people has left us. It seems to me that 289 18| yourselves said in your Pastoral Letter of 21 September 2004, on 290 13| I see it during the Ad limina visits: German priests are 291 27| student days his words have lived on in my heart. This is 292 10| contribute to her with their own lives. It seems to me that this 293 24| Wherever worship is no longer, wherever it is not a priority 294 30| definitive decisions for fear of losing personal freedom. ~ 295 24| human dignity, has been lost, it is once again up to 296 15| her splendour. We should lovingly keep these before us too, 297 24| the fact that it is not a luxury of our confused epoch that 298 | made 299 30| recently told me that his main concern was the widespread 300 | makes 301 37| catechesis do not always manage to forge lasting bonds between 302 53| I entrust you all to Mary, the Mother of Christ and 303 12| world; it is not only a material generosity, since there 304 29| It is not a matter of pandering to youth, which 305 31| then that they can grow and mature. We must teach patience, 306 40| knowledge of religion is meagre, and many people often do 307 36| their questions about the meaning of life and death, about 308 | meantime 309 1| therefore, of having the joy of meeting. Although I am in fact only 310 5| again to thank Cardinal Meisner and his collaborators for 311 1| am in fact only a former member of the German Bishops' Conference, 312 51| May the memory of the days spent in Cologne 313 14| is to say, but merely to mention it to you so that these 314 50| of course, to convey the message that the great pilgrimage 315 50| came to worship him. We met him. Now help us to become 316 | might 317 | million 318 8| the experience of pastoral ministry, with the grace of the Sacrament 319 14| Misereor, Adveniat, Missio, Renovabis 320 14| Misereor, Adveniat, Missio, Renovabis as well as the 321 18| Boniface: "We have become a mission land". This is true for 322 32| in Germany: how a true "mobilization" has pervaded the Country, 323 32| Preparing for the event mobilizes people and resources. We 324 36| the ideas put forward by modern society lead nowhere and 325 15| these before us too, at this moment of festivity and thanksgiving. ~ 326 10| their free time, even giving money and some of their possessions 327 16| influence of Catholic ethics and morals is in constant decline. 328 53| entrust you all to Mary, the Mother of Christ and of the Church, 329 23| this World Youth Day the motto: "We have come to worship 330 8| likewise be, as it were, moulded into its ecclesial form. ~ 331 23| have come to worship him" (Mt 2: 2). We are often so oppressed, 332 | much 333 3| consequently, that it must necessarily be a gift. Since no one 334 12| conditions. And there is no need for me to emphasize the 335 13| world, invaded by so many negative things from the West, with 336 | never 337 10| me that this has become newly visible to us. ~ 338 37| acquainted with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Even in 339 42| sold. It is on sale at the newsstands and rouses peoples' curiosity. 340 | next 341 | Nonetheless 342 39| see, but I am grateful to note that you are taking this 343 42| Today, in my Homily I noted that Pope John Paul II gave 344 | Now 345 | nowhere 346 15| wrinkles and shadows that obscure her splendour. We should 347 18| 21 September 2004, on the occasion of the Jubilee of St Boniface: " 348 50| God, there will be other occasions on which to go deeply into 349 | off 350 5| The whole of Germany has offered hospitality to the guests 351 28| We want to be a Church open to the future, rich in promises 352 41| sort of pre-catechesis that opens them to the faith - and 353 23| say once again that in my opinion Pope John Paul II was tremendously 354 49| and movements are not in opposition to one another, but constitute 355 5| Dioceses have cooperated in the organization of this event. The whole 356 23| the world and by all the organizational and structural problems 357 14| Catholic institutions and organizations for youth is equally vast. 358 20| There is a new form of paganism and it is not enough for 359 30| decisive. A Head of State who paid me a visit recently told 360 29| It is not a matter of pandering to youth, which is basically 361 45| Vespers in the Church of St Pantaleon has also given us the courage 362 13| priests are working, even in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon 363 22| especially for us Pastors, for parents and for educators, young 364 33| territory. I am thinking of the parishes, associations and movements. 365 9| and I as a Professor in particular, to see especially the problems. 366 49| Churches recognize this particularity, which seems strange to 367 6| express to me too what he held particularly dear: the union between 368 7| inspiration - has shown that both parties give and receive. Not only 369 18| This is true for large parts of Germany. ~ 370 48| love for the Church and passion for the Kingdom of God. ~ 371 50| especially comforting to a Pastor's heart. ~ 372 22| Church and especially for us Pastors, for parents and for educators, 373 41| beauty and greatness, and pave the way to the impulse to 374 24| it is not a priority to pay honour to God, human realities 375 27| rediscover. The more deeply we penetrate the splendour of divine 376 42| the newsstands and rouses peoples' curiosity. What is in it? 377 | Perhaps 378 24| confused epoch that we cannot permit ourselves but a priority. 379 30| decisions for fear of losing personal freedom. ~ 380 37| East, have never become personally acquainted with the Good 381 32| true "mobilization" has pervaded the Country, prompting a 382 6| unity with the Successor of Peter, he is also guiding me to 383 16| part of Catholic teaching, picking and choosing between only 384 48| a source of enrichment, play an important role in the 385 50| Dear Brothers, please God, there will be other 386 8| which we find ourselves, to point out the way to them, so 387 17| know, the majority of the population is not baptized, has no 388 10| money and some of their possessions simply to contribute to 389 33| definitive. This enormous potential energy can further increase, 390 13| the West, with the great power of faith and with it, all 391 33| event is well known. I am praying that each one of those who 392 41| have access to a sort of pre-catechesis that opens them to the faith - 393 3| that the immense work of preparation, the great things achieved, 394 5| collaborators for all their preparatory work. I also want to thank 395 32| the country that hosts it. Preparing for the event mobilizes 396 20| enough for us to strive to preserve the existing flock, although 397 9| Germany we are accustomed primarily, and I as a Professor in 398 46| that the family live as the primary cell of society, that children 399 39| that you are taking this problem to heart. ~ 400 52| brotherly request: always proceed and work in agreement, on 401 21| the contemporary world, of proclaiming Christ anew and of implanting 402 9| accustomed primarily, and I as a Professor in particular, to see especially 403 28| open to the future, rich in promises for the new generations. ~ 404 32| has pervaded the Country, prompting a surge of energy. ~ 405 19| evangelization, but often a true and proper first evangelization. ~ 406 8| their enthusiasm may be properly directed. Just as a spring 407 27| In his Commentary on the Psalms, St Augustine interprets 408 39| HERDER-Korrespondenz that you have published a new catechetical document 409 36| future. Many of the ideas put forward by modern society 410 26| complete in itself that puts an end to seeking, that 411 27| splendidly the expression "Quaerite faciem eius semper", "constantly 412 20| we must ask the important question: what really is life? ~ 413 9| problems, despite all possible questionable things, a living Church 414 36| end by sinking into the quicksand of alcohol and drugs, or 415 39| catechesis more effective. I read in the HERDER-Korrespondenz 416 36| are bewildered and have no real answers to their questions 417 20| important question: what really is life? ~ 418 38| For this reason you are all committed together - 419 | recently 420 8| us give thanks for this reciprocity and let us hope that it 421 45| I feel that the recitation of Vespers in the Church 422 27| will be one to ceaselessly rediscover. The more deeply we penetrate 423 39| I think we are all reflecting - and in the other Western 424 16| are gaining ground, that relativism is growing and that the 425 33| spirit of service.
