Rome Reshaped by Desmond O'Grady Pdf

The year 2000 is the first Jubilee, or Holy Year, to coincide with a millennium, and it is expected to inspire the world's largest-ever pilgrimage, bringing some thirty million visitors to Rome. What might these contemporary pilgrims expect to find other than the world's largest-ever traffic jam? In this wise and often witty book, longtime Vatican-observer Desmond O'Grady has written a fascinating history of Rome and the papacy seen through the grid of the twenty-five Jubilees that have occurred since the practice was initiated seven hundred years ago. During each Jubilee Year the Holy See has asserted its centrality, its universal relevance, and responded to various challenges: the Islamic threat, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the loss of the Papal States. The story of the Jubilees is told by means of the following coordinates: the state of the city and of the church at the time, the most memorable episodes, and the reactions of the pilgrims, many of them kings, queens and emperors. These 'liminal', or threshold, moments find the church often at its best and its worst. The final chapter analyzes the announced goals and prospects for Jubilee 2000 and explains how the church hopes to ferry humankind into the third millennium with a new sense of history as a meaningful journey.

Pope Francis on the Jubilee of mercy by Francesco Primerano Pdf

The humility, loyalty, goodness, joy of life, tolerance, some are moral wealth of Pope Francis. Indeed without the importance of these values would not exist this our friend, the same friend that changed decisively and sincere habits of our dull existence. You can define a genuine Pope saying real things: words of truth and humility are his strength. Despite its simplicity, he decides about everything that could go on in the church and surroundings. For these and other reasons the essential December 8, 2015 began a year of mercy, which will conclude at the end of 2016: an unprecedented jubilee in which Francis puts his will, his strength, his tenacity and a lot of planning. A Jubilee that takes place not only in the basilicas of Rome, but also in every diocese in the world and in all places of pain. L'umiltà, la lealtà, la bontà, la gioia di vivere, la tolleranza, risultano alcune ricchezze morali di Papa Francesco. Effettivamente senza l'importanza di questi valori non esisterebbe questo nostro amico, lo stesso amico che ha cambiato in maniera decisa e sincera le abitudini della nostra noiosa esistenza. Si può definire un Papa autentico che dice cose reali: parole di verità e di umiltà sono la sua forza. Pur nella sua semplicità, decide su tutto ciò che potrebbe andare avanti nella chiesa e dintorni. Per questi ed altri essenziali motivi l'8 dicembre 2015 ha avuto inizio un anno di misericordia che si concluderà a fine 2016: un giubileo senza precedenti in cui Francesco ci mette la sua volontà, la sua forza, la sua tenacia e molta progettualità. Un Giubileo che si svolge non soltanto nelle basiliche di Roma, ma anche in tutte le diocesi del mondo e in tutti i luoghi del dolore.

Witness to Hope by George Weigel Pdf

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER "A remarkable book. Weigel's biography is likely to remain the standard one-volume reference on John Paul II for many years to come." — Pittsburg Post-Gazette ?“Fascinating. . . sheds light on the history of the twentieth century for everyone.” —New York Times Book Review The definitive biography of Pope John Paul II that explores how influential he was on the world stage and in some of the most historic events of the twentieth century that can still be felt today Witness to Hope is the authoritative biography of one of the singular figures—some might argue the singular figure—of our time. With unprecedented cooperation from John Paul II and the people who knew and worked with him throughout his life, George Weigel offers a groundbreaking portrait of the Pope as a man, a thinker, and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach to world politics—and changed the course of history. As even his critics concede, John Paul II occupied a unique place on the world stage and put down intellectual markers that no one could ignore or avoid as humanity entered a new millennium fraught with possibility and danger. The Pope was a man of prodigious energy who played a crucial, yet insufficiently explored, role in some of the most momentous events of our time, including the collapse of European communism, the quest for peace in the Middle East, and the democratic transformation of Latin America. With an updated preface, this edition of Witness to Hope explains how this “man from a far country” did all of that, and much more—and what both his accomplishments and the unfinished business of his pontificate mean for the future of the Church and the world.

The Holy Year of Jubilee by Herbert Thurston Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1900-06. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI The Ceremonies Of The Jubilee In the still unpublished diary1 of Francesco Mucanzio, papal master of ceremonies at the close of the sixteenth century, we find that distinguished rubrician in December, 1574, discussing at some length the ritual to be used in the unwalling of the Holy Door at the forthcoming celebration of the Jubilee. He tells us that as the time for the ceremony drew near he went to his Holiness Pope Gregory XIII. and submitted to him a memorandum concerning the preparations to be made, and the things to be then observed. It appears, however, that his colleague in the office of master of ceremonies also went to the Pope with a similar programme, which he declared to be that which had been followed by Julius III. in the year 1550. "It differed very little from mine," says Mucanzio, "except in the versicles and responses. Those which I had set down were taken from an ancient roll (a quodam rotulo antiquo) used in the time of Clement VII., and of these versicles there was probably no accurate copy forthcoming in 1550 on account of the pillage and disasters to which the city had been subjected [he refers presumably to the sack of Rome in 1527]; hence they had been somewhat altered. My opinion was that out of the two sets which we had before us, a third more appropriate than either might have been drawn up, but when the matter was proposed in the Congregation of Cardinals appointed for the revision of ceremonies, they decided that as regards the versicles 1The copy here quoted is contained in MS. Addit. 26811 at the British Museum. and prayers the precedent of Julius III.'s time should be adhered to in every particular. The fact is," adds Mucanzio, " we have nothing prescribed about this matter in the Book of Ceremonies,1 and on this ac...
