- To the cries over spilt blood that go up from so many parts of the Earth, God responds with the blood of his Son, who gave his life for us. This is the reflection Pope Benedict offered this first Sunday in July, which in the past marked the feast of the Precious Blood. The Holy Father expressed his profound sadness at how much blood continues to be spilt because of violence, injustice and hatred. When, he asked, will human beings learn that life is sacred and belongs to God alone. When shall we realize that we are all brothers and sisters? Pope Benedict pointed to Christ, who, he said, did not answer evil with evil, but with good, with His infinite love. The blood of Christ, he went on to say, is...

These twelve months are an opportunity for priests to rediscover their vocation and the contours of their duties.When the 'diptych' of consecration-mission is not taken into due account, the Pontiff explained during the catechesis, it becomes truly difficulty to understand the identity of priests and of their ministry in the Church.For this reason the Pope invited dioceses, parishes, religious communities, associations and movements to multiply initiatives of pr ...

Benedict XVI emphasized this in the General Audience catechesis today, in which he examined the two letters of Saint Paul to Timothy and Titus. The Christian community, the Holy Father noted, is firmly rooted in the truth of faith, open to the universal dimension of humanity, and prays that all men come to know the truth. For the first time, through these letters, the ministry of bishops, of priests, and of deacons emerges. The Church therefore is presented with a familial dimension, as the house of God, through the exercise of the functions of its members. Let us pray, ...

Hitler had more than 6 million Jews exterminated in the camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau and in other similar camps. About 150,000 Poles and tens of thousands of men and women of other nationalities died at Auschwitz-Birkenau. In the face of the horror of Auschwitz there is no other response than the Cross of Christ: Love descended to the very depths of the abyss of evil to save man in his core, where human freedom can rebel against God.
May contemporary humanity never forget Auschwitz or the other "death factories" where the Nazi regime attempted to eliminate God in order to replace him! M ...

Like John Paul II, I have walked alongside the inscriptions in various languages erected in memory of those who died here. All these inscriptions speak of human grief, they give us a glimpse of the cynicism of that regime which treated men and women as material objects, and failed to see them as persons embodying the image of God. Some inscriptions are pointed reminders. There is one in Hebrew. The rulers of the Third Reich wanted to crush the entire Jewish people, to cancel it from t ...

- And in the 20th century, in the darkest period of German and European history, an insane racist ideology, born of neo-paganism, gave rise to the attempt, planned and systematically carried out by the regime, to exterminate European Jewry. The result has passed into history as the Shoah. The victims of this unspeakable and previously unimaginable crime amounted to 11,000 named individuals in Cologne alone; the real figure was surely much higher. The holiness of God was no longer recognized, and consequently, contempt was shown for the sacredness of human life.

The Holy Father went on to say that Pauls experience, born of his encounter with the Risen Christ on the road to Damascus, Can be a model of every authentic Christian conversion, which for all of us means, believing that Jesus Christ gave Himself for each of us, dying on the Cross and, as He is risen, now lives with each of us and in each of us. Pope Benedict also recalled the World Day of Leprosy, saying he is glad the United Nations has recently called on countries to care for those who are suffering from the disease, as well as the family members of those who are sick.

The Message concerns the new technologies which have made the internet a resource of utmost importance, especially for the so-called digital generation. Undoubtedly, wise use of communications technology enables communities to be formed in ways that promote the search for the true, the good and the beautiful, transcending geographical boundaries and ethnic divisions. To this end, the Vatican has launched a new initiative which will make information and news from the Holy See more readily accessible on the world wide web. It is my hope that this initiative will enrich a wide range of people including those who have yet to find a response to their spiritual yearning through the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ whose message of Good News the Church bears to the ends of the earth (cf.
