Cardinal Kasper, Special Envoy to Speyer Cathedral Anniversary Made public today was a letter in which Benedict XVI appoints Cardinal Walter Kasper as his special envoy to celebrations marking the 950th anniversary of the dedication of Speyer Cathedral in Germany. In his letter the Pope dwells on the significance the cathedral, which was built between 1030 and 1061, has had in German history, also underlining its important role in confirming the faith of the German faithful and their union with Peter's Successor. The Holy Father likewise greets Bishop Karl-Heinz Wiesemann of Speyer and expresses the hope that the forthcoming commemoration will be a time of grace. He concludes by inviting participants in the forthcoming celebration to practice the great Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity, like the Virgin Mary to whom the cathedral is dedicated.

International Week of Prayer and Fasting
Source: Dan Lynch (jkmi.com), Septemer 21, 2011 The International Week of Prayer and Fasting is a grassroots movement of Catholics and other Christians from around the world participating in a global network of prayer and fasting for the goals of the week: 1. Bring a Conversion of Nations The grasp of the culture of death on our world is growing stronger. Wars, natural disasters, terrorism, abortion, euthanasia, and religious persecution are on the rise as never before. As Christians, however, we are not to despair, but to place our hope in Christ. Now more than ever, believers from all traditions and nationalities must unite together to pray and fast. This week is held annually in October, the month of the holy rosary. This is our nineteenth year and it will be held from October 1-9, 2011 to pray for the goals of the week. For more information click into iwopf.org. |
