HISTORY OF WORLD YOUTH DAYS
LOGOS OF WORLD YOUTH DAYS
“I have come to Cologne in very deep
continuity with my great and beloved
Predecessor John Paul II, who had this
intuition - I should say this inspiration - of
the World Youth Days, in this way creating
not a single event of exceptional religious
and ecclesial meaning, but also human,
which takes people beyond the borderlines
between one and the other and contributes
to building a common future”.
Welcome ceremony at the
International Airport of
Cologne/Bonn: (August 18, 2005)
It is a fine thing that on such occasions the virtue of hospitality,
which has almost disappeared and is one of man's original virtues,
should be renewed and enable people of all states of life to meet.
Like the Magi, all believers - and young people in particular - have been called to
set out on the journey of life in search of truth, justice and love. We must seek this
star, we must follow it. The ultimate goal of the journey can only be found through
an encounter with Christ, an encounter which cannot take place without faith.
Here we find a very rich cultural and spiritual heritage which even today, in the heart
of Europe, testifies to the fruitfulness of the Christian faith and tradition
which we must rekindle, because it has within it new strength for the future.
I think of St Boniface,
St Ursula,
St Albert the Great,
and, in more
recent times,
St Teresa Benedicta
of the Cross
(Edith Stein) and
Bl. Adolph Kolping.
CELEBRATION WELCOMING THE YOUNG PEOPLE
Cologne - Poller Wiesen - Thursday, 18 August 2005
Like yourselves, I too have set out to join you in kneeling
before the consecrated white Host in which the eyes of
faith recognize the Real Presence of the Saviour of the
world. Together, we will continue to meditate
on the theme of this World Youth Day:
"We have come to worship him" (Mt 2: 2).
To all of you I appeal: Open wide your hearts to God!
Let yourselves be surprised by Christ! Let him have
"the right of free speech" during these days!
Open the doors of your freedom to his merciful love!
Share your joys and pains with Christ,
and let him enlighten your minds with his light
and touch your hearts with his grace.
In these days blessed with sharing and joy, may you have a liberating experience
of the Church as the place where God's merciful love reaches out to all people.
In the Church and through the Church you will meet Christ, who is waiting for you.
we are concerned for the
state of the world and we
are asking: "Where do I find
standards to live by, what
are the criteria that govern
responsible cooperation
in building the present and
the future of our world?
On whom can I rely?
To whom shall I entrust
myself? Where is the One
who can offer me the
response capable of
satisfying my heart's
deepest desires?".
which direction do we take? The one prompted
by the passions or the one indicated by
the star which shines in your conscience?
it is in Bethlehem - the "House of Bread" - that we can always encounter
the inconceivable greatness of a God who humbled himself even to
appearing in a manger, to giving himself as food on the altar.
Only faith enabled them to recognize in the face
of that Child the King whom they were seeking,
the God to whom the star had guided them.
In him, crossing the abyss between the finite
and the infinite, the visible and the invisible,
the Eternal entered time, the Mystery became
known by entrusting himself to us in
the frail body of a small child.
"If we let Christ into our
lives, we lose nothing,
nothing, absolutely
nothing of what
Makes life free,
beautiful and great.
No! Only in this friendship
are the doors of life
opened wide. Only in this
friendship is the great
potential of human
existence truly revealed.
Only in this friendship do
we experience beauty
and liberation"
the gift of faith which we will celebrate together, making it manifest
to the world from this land in the heart of Europe, a Europe which
owes so much to the Gospel and its witnesses down the centuries.
VISIT TO THE CATHEDRAL OF COLOGNE
Cologne – Roncalliplatz - Thursday, 18 August 2005
in 1164 the relics of the Magi were escorted by the Archbishop of
Cologne, Reinald von Dassel, from Milan, across the Alps, all the
way to Cologne, where they were received with great jubilation.
VISIT TO THE SYNAGOGUE OF COLOGNE
Cologne – Synagogue - Friday, 19 August 2005
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.
"I bow my head before all those who experienced this manifestation of
the mysterium iniquitatis. " The terrible events of that time must "never cease
to rouse consciences, to resolve conflicts, to inspire the building of peace"
On the basis of our shared human dignity the Catholic Church "condemns as foreign
to the mind of Christ any kind of discrimnation whatsoever between people, or
harassment of them, done by reason of race or colour, class or religion" (n. 5).
The Catholic Church is committed - I reaffirm this
again today - to tolerance, respect, friendship and
peace between all peoples, cultures and religions
Our rich common heritage and our fraternal and more trusting relations call upon
us to join in giving an ever more harmonious witness and to work together on the
practical level for the defence and promotion of human rights and the sacredness
of human life, for family values, for social justice and for peace in the world.
MEETING WITH SEMINARIANS
Cologne - Saint Pantaleon - Friday, 19 August 2005
The seminarian experiences the beauty of that call in a moment of grace which
could be defined as "falling in love". His soul is filled with amazement,
1which makes him ask in prayer: "Lord, why me?". But love knows no "why";
it is a free gift to which one responds with the gift of self.
Such study can at times seem arduous, but it is an indispensable part of our encounter with
Christ and our vocation to proclaim him. All this is aimed at shaping a steady and balanced
personality, one capable of receiving validly and fulfilling responsibly the priestly mission.
The seminary years are a time of journeying, of exploration, but above all of discovering
Christ. It is only when a young man has had a personal experience of Christ that he can truly
understand the Lord's will and consequently his own vocation.
The better you know Jesus the more his mystery attracts you. The more
you discover him, the more you are moved to seek him. This is a
movement of the Spirit which lasts throughout life, and which makes
the seminary a time of immense promise, a true "springtime".
the young seminarian: he no longer sees the Church "from
the outside", but rather, as it were, "from the inside", and
he comes to sense that she is his "home", inasmuch as she
is the home of Christ, where "Mary his mother" dwells.
It is Mary who shows him Jesus her Son;
she introduces him and in a sense enables him to see
and touch Jesus, and to take him into his arms.
Mary teaches the seminarian to contemplate Jesus with
the eyes of the heart and to make Jesus his very life.
encounter becomes adoration; it blossoms into an act of faith and love
which acknowledges in Jesus, born of Mary, the Son of God made man.
the Magi surely had to deal with dangers, weariness, disorientation,
doubts. The star was no longer there to guide them! The light was now
within them. Their task was to guard and nourish it in the constant
memory of Christ, of his Holy Face, of his ineffable Love.
May Christ be everything for you. Dear seminarians, be the first to offer him
what is most precious to you, as Pope John Paul II suggested in his Message
for this World Youth Day: the gold of your freedom, the incense of your
ardent prayer, the myrrh of your most profound affection (cf. n. 4).
Our Lady, who introduces everyone to an encounter with Christ in the silence of
meditation, prayer and fraternity…. Here is the secret of your vocation and your
mission! It is kept in the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who watches over each one of
you with a mother's love. Have recourse to Mary, often and with confidence.
in the supernatural reality of the one Baptism which makes us
all members of the one Body of Christ (cf. I Cor 12: 13; Gal 3: 28; Col 2: 12).
ECUMENICAL MEETING
Cologne - Archbishop’s House - Friday, 19 August 2005
with the contribution of theologians it led to the important Joint Declaration on the Doctrine
of Justification (1999) and to an agreement on basic issues that had been a subject
of controversy since the 16th century…… We should also acknowledge with gratitude
the results of our common stand on important matters, such as the fundamental
questions involving the defence of life and the promotion of justice and peace.
when we speak of ecclesiology and of ministry we must preferably speak in this combination
of Word, witness and rule of faith, and consider it as an ecclesiological matter, and therefore
together as a question of the Word of God, of his sovereignty and humility inasmuch as
the Lord entrusts his Word, and concedes its interpretation, to witnesses which, however,
must always be compared to the "regula fidei" and the integrity of the Word.
the Catholic Church also has as her goal the full visible unity of the disciples of Christ…..
dialogue has its own contribution to make. More than an exchange of thoughts,
an academic exercise, it is an exchange of gifts (cf. Ut Unum Sint, n. 28), in which
the Churches and the Ecclesial Communities can make available their own riches
I would also like in this context to remember the great pioneer of unity,
Bro. Roger Schutz, who was so tragically snatched from life. I had known
him personally for a long time and had a cordial friendship with him.
I am convinced that if more and more people unite themselves interiorly
to the Lord's prayer "that all may be one" (Jn 17: 21), then this prayer,
made in the Name of Jesus, will not go unheard (cf. Jn 14: 13; 15: 7, 16, etc.).
MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES
OF SOME MUSLIM COMMUNITIES
Cologne - Saturday, 20 August 2005
terrorism. I know that many of you have firmly rejected, also
publicly, in particular any connection between your faith and
terrorism and have condemned it. I am grateful to you for
this, for it contributes to the climate of trust that we need.
Terrorist activity is continually recurring in various parts of the world, plunging
people into grief and despair. Those who instigate and plan these attacks evidently
wish to poison our relations and destroy trust, making use of all means, including
religion, to oppose every attempt to build a peaceful and serene life together.
Thanks be to God, we agree on the fact that terrorism of any kind is a
perverse and cruel choice which shows contempt for the sacred right
to life and undermines the very foundations of all civil coexistence.
If together we can succeed in eliminating from hearts any trace of rancour,
in resisting every form of intolerance and in opposing every manifestation
of violence, we will turn back the wave of cruel fanaticism that endangers
the lives of so many people and hinders progress towards world peace.
The task is difficult but not impossible. The believer - and all of us,
as Christians and Muslims, are believers - knows that, despite
his weakness, he can count on the spiritual power of prayer.
Dear friends, I am
profoundly convinced
that we must not yield
to the negative
pressures in our midst,
but must affirm the
values of mutual
respect, solidarity and
peace. The life of every
human being is sacred,
both for Christians and
for Muslims. There is
plenty of scope for us
to act together in the
service of fundamental
moral values.
Only through recognition of the centrality of the person can a common basis for
understanding be found, one which enables us to move beyond cultural conflicts
and which neutralizes the disruptive power of ideologies.
How many pages of history record battles and wars that have been waged, with both
sides invoking the Name of God, as if fighting and killing, the enemy could be pleasing to him.
The recollection of these sad events should fill us with shame, for we know
only too well what atrocities have been committed in the name of religion.
We must seek paths of reconciliation and learn to live with respect for each other's
identity. The defence of religious freedom, in this sense, is a permanent imperative,
and respect for minorities is a clear sign of true civilization.
They worship the one God living and subsistent, merciful and
almighty, creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to
humanity and to whose decrees, even the hidden ones, they
seek to submit themselves whole-heartedly, just as Abraham
Christians and Muslims, we must face together the many challenges of
our time. There is no room for apathy and disengagement, and even
less for partiality and sectarianism. We must not yield to fear or
pessimism. Rather, we must cultivate optimism and hope.
"Going into the house (over which the star had halted), they saw the child
with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him" (Mt 2: 11).
YOUTH VIGIL
Cologne – Marienfeld - Saturday, 20 August 2005
They had to change their ideas about power, about God and about man,
and in so doing, they also had to change themselves. Now they were able
to see that God's power is not like that of the powerful of this world.
God's ways are not as we imagine them or as we might wish them to be.
He contrasts the noisy and
ostentatious power of this world
with the defenceless power of love,
which succumbs to death on
the Cross and dies ever anew
throughout history; yet it is this
same love which constitutes the
new divine intervention that
opposes injustice and ushers in
the Kingdom of God.
they have to learn that this cannot be achieved
simply through issuing commands from a throne on high.
Now they have to learn to give themselves - no lesser gift
would be sufficient for this King. Now they have to learn
that their lives must be conformed to this divine way
of exercising power, to God's own way of being.
In the last century we experienced
revolutions with a common
programme - expecting nothing
more from God, they assumed total
responsibility for the cause of the
world in order to change it.
And this, as we saw, meant that a
human and partial point of view
was always taken as an absolute
guiding principle. Absolutizing what
is not absolute but relative is called
totalitarianism. It does not liberate
man, but takes away his dignity
and enslaves him.
It is not ideologies that save the
world, but only a return to the living
God, our Creator, the guarantor
of our freedom, the guarantor
of what is really good and true.
we are not constructing a private God, we are not constructing a
private Jesus, but that we believe and worship the Jesus who is
manifested to us by the Sacred Scriptures and who reveals himself
to be alive in the great procession of the faithful called the Church,
always alongside us and always before us.
The Church is like a human family, but at the same time it is also the
great family of God, through which he establishes an overarching
communion and unity that embraces every continent, culture and nation.
Here in Cologne we discover the joy of belonging to a family as vast as the
world, including Heaven and earth, the past, the present, the future and
every part of the earth. In this great band of pilgrims we walk side by side
with Christ, we walk with the star that enlightens our history.
Here in the Sacred Host he is present before us and in our midst.
As at that time, so now he is mysteriously veiled in a sacred silence;
as at that time, it is here that the true face of God is revealed.
EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION
Cologne – Marienfeld - Sunday, 21 August 2005
By making the bread into his Body and the wine into his Blood, he anticipates his death,
he accepts it in his heart, and he transforms it into an action of love. What on the outside
is simply brutal violence - the Crucifixion - from within becomes an act of total
self-giving love. This is the substantial transformation which was accomplished at the
Last Supper and was destined to set in motion a series of transformations leading
ultimately to the transformation of the world when God will be all in all (cf. I Cor 15: 28).
To use an image well known to us today, this is like inducing nuclear fission in the
very heart of being - the victory of love over hatred, the victory of love over death.
Only this intimate explosion of good conquering evil can then trigger off
the series of transformations that little by little will change the world.
But it must not stop there; on the contrary, the process of transformation must
now gather momentum. The Body and Blood of Christ are given to us so that
we ourselves will be transformed in our turn. We are to become the Body of Christ,
his own Flesh and Blood. - We all eat the one bread, and this means that we
ourselves become one. In this way, adoration, as we said earlier, becomes union.
recognition of God as our true measure, supplying the norm that we choose to follow.
It means that freedom is not simply about enjoying life in total autonomy, but rather about
living by the measure of truth and goodness, so that we ourselves can become true and good
The Latin word for adoration is ad-oratio - mouth to mouth
contact, a kiss, an embrace, and hence, ultimately love. Submission
becomes union, because he to whom we submit is Love
The new prayer - which the Church calls the "Eucharistic Prayer" - brings the Eucharist into
being. It is the word of power which transforms the gifts of the earth in an entirely new way
into God's gift of himself, and it draws us into this process of transformation.
That is why we call this action "Eucharist", which is a translation of the Hebrew
word beracha - thanksgiving, praise, blessing, and a transformation worked by the Lord:
On Easter morning,
first the women and
then the disciples
had the grace of
seeing the Lord.
From that moment
on, they knew that
the first day of the
week, Sunday,
would be his day,
the day of Christ the
Lord. The day when
creation began
became the day
when creation was
renewed. Creation
and redemption
belong together.
The pilgrimage that the Magi from the East first pointed this out to us.
The spontaneity of new communities is important, but it is also important
to preserve communion with the Pope and with the Bishops
MEETING WITH THE GERMAN BISHOPS
Cologne - Archbishop’s House - Sunday, 21 August 2005
Just as he led the Church in Germany to unity with the Successor of Peter, he is also guiding me
to lasting fraternal communion with the Bishops of Germany, with the Church in Germany.
Here in Germany
we are accustomed
primarily, and I as a
Professor in particular,
to see especially the
problems. However,
I believe we should
admit that all this
has been possible
because in Germany,
despite all the
Church's problems,
despite all possible
questionable things,
a living Church
truly exists.
We know that secularism and dechristianization are gaining ground, that relativism
is growing and that the influence of Catholic ethics and morals is in constant decline
it is once again
up to us to understand
the priority of worship.
We must make
youth, ourselves and
our communities,
aware of the fact
that it is not a luxury
of our confused epoch
that we cannot
permit ourselves
but a priority.
we in turn must inculcate in young people patience, without which nothing can be found;
we must teach them discernment, a healthy realism, the capacity to be decisive.

  • 3. HISTORY OF WORLD YOUTH DAYS
  • 4. LOGOS OF WORLD YOUTH DAYS

  • 6.
  • 7. “I have come to Cologne in very deep continuity with my great and beloved Predecessor John Paul II, who had this intuition - I should say this inspiration - of the World Youth Days, in this way creating not a single event of exceptional religious and ecclesial meaning, but also human, which takes people beyond the borderlines between one and the other and contributes to building a common future”. Welcome ceremony at the International Airport of Cologne/Bonn: (August 18, 2005)
  • 8. It is a fine thing that on such occasions the virtue of hospitality, which has almost disappeared and is one of man's original virtues, should be renewed and enable people of all states of life to meet.
  • 9. Like the Magi, all believers - and young people in particular - have been called to set out on the journey of life in search of truth, justice and love. We must seek this star, we must follow it. The ultimate goal of the journey can only be found through an encounter with Christ, an encounter which cannot take place without faith.
  • 10. Here we find a very rich cultural and spiritual heritage which even today, in the heart of Europe, testifies to the fruitfulness of the Christian faith and tradition which we must rekindle, because it has within it new strength for the future.
  • 11. I think of St Boniface, St Ursula, St Albert the Great, and, in more recent times, St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) and Bl. Adolph Kolping.
  • 12. CELEBRATION WELCOMING THE YOUNG PEOPLE Cologne - Poller Wiesen - Thursday, 18 August 2005 Like yourselves, I too have set out to join you in kneeling before the consecrated white Host in which the eyes of faith recognize the Real Presence of the Saviour of the world. Together, we will continue to meditate on the theme of this World Youth Day: "We have come to worship him" (Mt 2: 2).
  • 13. To all of you I appeal: Open wide your hearts to God! Let yourselves be surprised by Christ! Let him have "the right of free speech" during these days! Open the doors of your freedom to his merciful love! Share your joys and pains with Christ, and let him enlighten your minds with his light and touch your hearts with his grace.
  • 14. In these days blessed with sharing and joy, may you have a liberating experience of the Church as the place where God's merciful love reaches out to all people. In the Church and through the Church you will meet Christ, who is waiting for you.
  • 15. we are concerned for the state of the world and we are asking: "Where do I find standards to live by, what are the criteria that govern responsible cooperation in building the present and the future of our world? On whom can I rely? To whom shall I entrust myself? Where is the One who can offer me the response capable of satisfying my heart's deepest desires?".
  • 16. which direction do we take? The one prompted by the passions or the one indicated by the star which shines in your conscience?
  • 17. it is in Bethlehem - the "House of Bread" - that we can always encounter the inconceivable greatness of a God who humbled himself even to appearing in a manger, to giving himself as food on the altar.
  • 18. Only faith enabled them to recognize in the face of that Child the King whom they were seeking, the God to whom the star had guided them. In him, crossing the abyss between the finite and the infinite, the visible and the invisible, the Eternal entered time, the Mystery became known by entrusting himself to us in the frail body of a small child.
  • 19. "If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what Makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed. Only in this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation"
  • 20. the gift of faith which we will celebrate together, making it manifest to the world from this land in the heart of Europe, a Europe which owes so much to the Gospel and its witnesses down the centuries.

  • 23. VISIT TO THE CATHEDRAL OF COLOGNE Cologne – Roncalliplatz - Thursday, 18 August 2005 in 1164 the relics of the Magi were escorted by the Archbishop of Cologne, Reinald von Dassel, from Milan, across the Alps, all the way to Cologne, where they were received with great jubilation.
  • 24. VISIT TO THE SYNAGOGUE OF COLOGNE Cologne – Synagogue - Friday, 19 August 2005
  • 25. 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.
  • 26. "I bow my head before all those who experienced this manifestation of the mysterium iniquitatis. " The terrible events of that time must "never cease to rouse consciences, to resolve conflicts, to inspire the building of peace"
  • 27. On the basis of our shared human dignity the Catholic Church "condemns as foreign to the mind of Christ any kind of discrimnation whatsoever between people, or harassment of them, done by reason of race or colour, class or religion" (n. 5).
  • 28. The Catholic Church is committed - I reaffirm this again today - to tolerance, respect, friendship and peace between all peoples, cultures and religions
  • 29. Our rich common heritage and our fraternal and more trusting relations call upon us to join in giving an ever more harmonious witness and to work together on the practical level for the defence and promotion of human rights and the sacredness of human life, for family values, for social justice and for peace in the world.
  • 30. MEETING WITH SEMINARIANS Cologne - Saint Pantaleon - Friday, 19 August 2005 The seminarian experiences the beauty of that call in a moment of grace which could be defined as "falling in love". His soul is filled with amazement, 1which makes him ask in prayer: "Lord, why me?". But love knows no "why"; it is a free gift to which one responds with the gift of self.
  • 31. Such study can at times seem arduous, but it is an indispensable part of our encounter with Christ and our vocation to proclaim him. All this is aimed at shaping a steady and balanced personality, one capable of receiving validly and fulfilling responsibly the priestly mission.
  • 32. The seminary years are a time of journeying, of exploration, but above all of discovering Christ. It is only when a young man has had a personal experience of Christ that he can truly understand the Lord's will and consequently his own vocation.
  • 33. The better you know Jesus the more his mystery attracts you. The more you discover him, the more you are moved to seek him. This is a movement of the Spirit which lasts throughout life, and which makes the seminary a time of immense promise, a true "springtime".
  • 34. the young seminarian: he no longer sees the Church "from the outside", but rather, as it were, "from the inside", and he comes to sense that she is his "home", inasmuch as she is the home of Christ, where "Mary his mother" dwells.
  • 35. It is Mary who shows him Jesus her Son; she introduces him and in a sense enables him to see and touch Jesus, and to take him into his arms. Mary teaches the seminarian to contemplate Jesus with the eyes of the heart and to make Jesus his very life.
  • 36. encounter becomes adoration; it blossoms into an act of faith and love which acknowledges in Jesus, born of Mary, the Son of God made man.
  • 37. the Magi surely had to deal with dangers, weariness, disorientation, doubts. The star was no longer there to guide them! The light was now within them. Their task was to guard and nourish it in the constant memory of Christ, of his Holy Face, of his ineffable Love.
  • 38. May Christ be everything for you. Dear seminarians, be the first to offer him what is most precious to you, as Pope John Paul II suggested in his Message for this World Youth Day: the gold of your freedom, the incense of your ardent prayer, the myrrh of your most profound affection (cf. n. 4).
  • 39. Our Lady, who introduces everyone to an encounter with Christ in the silence of meditation, prayer and fraternity…. Here is the secret of your vocation and your mission! It is kept in the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who watches over each one of you with a mother's love. Have recourse to Mary, often and with confidence.
  • 40. in the supernatural reality of the one Baptism which makes us all members of the one Body of Christ (cf. I Cor 12: 13; Gal 3: 28; Col 2: 12). ECUMENICAL MEETING Cologne - Archbishop’s House - Friday, 19 August 2005
  • 41. with the contribution of theologians it led to the important Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (1999) and to an agreement on basic issues that had been a subject of controversy since the 16th century…… We should also acknowledge with gratitude the results of our common stand on important matters, such as the fundamental questions involving the defence of life and the promotion of justice and peace.
  • 42. when we speak of ecclesiology and of ministry we must preferably speak in this combination of Word, witness and rule of faith, and consider it as an ecclesiological matter, and therefore together as a question of the Word of God, of his sovereignty and humility inasmuch as the Lord entrusts his Word, and concedes its interpretation, to witnesses which, however, must always be compared to the "regula fidei" and the integrity of the Word.
  • 43. the Catholic Church also has as her goal the full visible unity of the disciples of Christ….. dialogue has its own contribution to make. More than an exchange of thoughts, an academic exercise, it is an exchange of gifts (cf. Ut Unum Sint, n. 28), in which the Churches and the Ecclesial Communities can make available their own riches
  • 44. I would also like in this context to remember the great pioneer of unity, Bro. Roger Schutz, who was so tragically snatched from life. I had known him personally for a long time and had a cordial friendship with him.
  • 45. I am convinced that if more and more people unite themselves interiorly to the Lord's prayer "that all may be one" (Jn 17: 21), then this prayer, made in the Name of Jesus, will not go unheard (cf. Jn 14: 13; 15: 7, 16, etc.).
  • 46. MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF SOME MUSLIM COMMUNITIES Cologne - Saturday, 20 August 2005
  • 47. terrorism. I know that many of you have firmly rejected, also publicly, in particular any connection between your faith and terrorism and have condemned it. I am grateful to you for this, for it contributes to the climate of trust that we need.
  • 48. Terrorist activity is continually recurring in various parts of the world, plunging people into grief and despair. Those who instigate and plan these attacks evidently wish to poison our relations and destroy trust, making use of all means, including religion, to oppose every attempt to build a peaceful and serene life together.
  • 49. Thanks be to God, we agree on the fact that terrorism of any kind is a perverse and cruel choice which shows contempt for the sacred right to life and undermines the very foundations of all civil coexistence.
  • 50. If together we can succeed in eliminating from hearts any trace of rancour, in resisting every form of intolerance and in opposing every manifestation of violence, we will turn back the wave of cruel fanaticism that endangers the lives of so many people and hinders progress towards world peace.
  • 51. The task is difficult but not impossible. The believer - and all of us, as Christians and Muslims, are believers - knows that, despite his weakness, he can count on the spiritual power of prayer.
  • 52. Dear friends, I am profoundly convinced that we must not yield to the negative pressures in our midst, but must affirm the values of mutual respect, solidarity and peace. The life of every human being is sacred, both for Christians and for Muslims. There is plenty of scope for us to act together in the service of fundamental moral values.
  • 53. Only through recognition of the centrality of the person can a common basis for understanding be found, one which enables us to move beyond cultural conflicts and which neutralizes the disruptive power of ideologies.
  • 54. How many pages of history record battles and wars that have been waged, with both sides invoking the Name of God, as if fighting and killing, the enemy could be pleasing to him. The recollection of these sad events should fill us with shame, for we know only too well what atrocities have been committed in the name of religion.
  • 55. We must seek paths of reconciliation and learn to live with respect for each other's identity. The defence of religious freedom, in this sense, is a permanent imperative, and respect for minorities is a clear sign of true civilization.
  • 56. They worship the one God living and subsistent, merciful and almighty, creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to humanity and to whose decrees, even the hidden ones, they seek to submit themselves whole-heartedly, just as Abraham
  • 57. Christians and Muslims, we must face together the many challenges of our time. There is no room for apathy and disengagement, and even less for partiality and sectarianism. We must not yield to fear or pessimism. Rather, we must cultivate optimism and hope.
  • 58. "Going into the house (over which the star had halted), they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him" (Mt 2: 11). YOUTH VIGIL Cologne – Marienfeld - Saturday, 20 August 2005
  • 59.
  • 60. They had to change their ideas about power, about God and about man, and in so doing, they also had to change themselves. Now they were able to see that God's power is not like that of the powerful of this world. God's ways are not as we imagine them or as we might wish them to be.
  • 61. He contrasts the noisy and ostentatious power of this world with the defenceless power of love, which succumbs to death on the Cross and dies ever anew throughout history; yet it is this same love which constitutes the new divine intervention that opposes injustice and ushers in the Kingdom of God.
  • 62. they have to learn that this cannot be achieved simply through issuing commands from a throne on high. Now they have to learn to give themselves - no lesser gift would be sufficient for this King. Now they have to learn that their lives must be conformed to this divine way of exercising power, to God's own way of being.
  • 63. In the last century we experienced revolutions with a common programme - expecting nothing more from God, they assumed total responsibility for the cause of the world in order to change it. And this, as we saw, meant that a human and partial point of view was always taken as an absolute guiding principle. Absolutizing what is not absolute but relative is called totalitarianism. It does not liberate man, but takes away his dignity and enslaves him. It is not ideologies that save the world, but only a return to the living God, our Creator, the guarantor of our freedom, the guarantor of what is really good and true.
  • 64. we are not constructing a private God, we are not constructing a private Jesus, but that we believe and worship the Jesus who is manifested to us by the Sacred Scriptures and who reveals himself to be alive in the great procession of the faithful called the Church, always alongside us and always before us.
  • 65. The Church is like a human family, but at the same time it is also the great family of God, through which he establishes an overarching communion and unity that embraces every continent, culture and nation.
  • 66. Here in Cologne we discover the joy of belonging to a family as vast as the world, including Heaven and earth, the past, the present, the future and every part of the earth. In this great band of pilgrims we walk side by side with Christ, we walk with the star that enlightens our history.
  • 67. Here in the Sacred Host he is present before us and in our midst. As at that time, so now he is mysteriously veiled in a sacred silence; as at that time, it is here that the true face of God is revealed.
  • 68. EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION Cologne – Marienfeld - Sunday, 21 August 2005 By making the bread into his Body and the wine into his Blood, he anticipates his death, he accepts it in his heart, and he transforms it into an action of love. What on the outside is simply brutal violence - the Crucifixion - from within becomes an act of total self-giving love. This is the substantial transformation which was accomplished at the Last Supper and was destined to set in motion a series of transformations leading ultimately to the transformation of the world when God will be all in all (cf. I Cor 15: 28).
  • 69. To use an image well known to us today, this is like inducing nuclear fission in the very heart of being - the victory of love over hatred, the victory of love over death. Only this intimate explosion of good conquering evil can then trigger off the series of transformations that little by little will change the world.
  • 70. But it must not stop there; on the contrary, the process of transformation must now gather momentum. The Body and Blood of Christ are given to us so that we ourselves will be transformed in our turn. We are to become the Body of Christ, his own Flesh and Blood. - We all eat the one bread, and this means that we ourselves become one. In this way, adoration, as we said earlier, becomes union.
  • 71. recognition of God as our true measure, supplying the norm that we choose to follow. It means that freedom is not simply about enjoying life in total autonomy, but rather about living by the measure of truth and goodness, so that we ourselves can become true and good
  • 72. The Latin word for adoration is ad-oratio - mouth to mouth contact, a kiss, an embrace, and hence, ultimately love. Submission becomes union, because he to whom we submit is Love
  • 73. The new prayer - which the Church calls the "Eucharistic Prayer" - brings the Eucharist into being. It is the word of power which transforms the gifts of the earth in an entirely new way into God's gift of himself, and it draws us into this process of transformation. That is why we call this action "Eucharist", which is a translation of the Hebrew word beracha - thanksgiving, praise, blessing, and a transformation worked by the Lord:
  • 74. On Easter morning, first the women and then the disciples had the grace of seeing the Lord. From that moment on, they knew that the first day of the week, Sunday, would be his day, the day of Christ the Lord. The day when creation began became the day when creation was renewed. Creation and redemption belong together.
  • 75. The pilgrimage that the Magi from the East first pointed this out to us. The spontaneity of new communities is important, but it is also important to preserve communion with the Pope and with the Bishops
  • 76. MEETING WITH THE GERMAN BISHOPS Cologne - Archbishop’s House - Sunday, 21 August 2005 Just as he led the Church in Germany to unity with the Successor of Peter, he is also guiding me to lasting fraternal communion with the Bishops of Germany, with the Church in Germany.
  • 77. Here in Germany we are accustomed primarily, and I as a Professor in particular, to see especially the problems. However, I believe we should admit that all this has been possible because in Germany, despite all the Church's problems, despite all possible questionable things, a living Church truly exists.
  • 78. We know that secularism and dechristianization are gaining ground, that relativism is growing and that the influence of Catholic ethics and morals is in constant decline
  • 79. it is once again up to us to understand the priority of worship. We must make youth, ourselves and our communities, aware of the fact that it is not a luxury of our confused epoch that we cannot permit ourselves but a priority.
  • 80. we in turn must inculcate in young people patience, without which nothing can be found; we must teach them discernment, a healthy realism, the capacity to be decisive.
