God Has Answer for Ongoing Violence, Says Pope

Affirms That Crucified Christ Is Promise of Hope

VATICAN CITY, JULY 5, 2009 (Zenit.org)

Ever since murder marked the very first human family, people have continued to kill one another, but God's answer to this is the blood of his Son, Benedict XVI says.

As he addressed crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square today to pray the midday Angelus, the Pope reflected on the phenomenon of brother raising his hand against brother. The occasion for this reflection is the tradition of using the first Sunday of July for devotion to the Precious Blood of Christ.

The Holy Father noted how his predecessor Blessed John XXIII confirmed this tradition with a 1960 apostolic letter.

"The theme of blood linked to that of the Paschal Lamb is of primary importance in sacred Scripture," Benedict XVI explained. "In the Old Testament the sprinkling of the blood of sacrificed animals represented and established the covenant between God and the people, as one reads in the Book of Exodus. [...]
"Jesus explicitly repeats this formula at the Last Supper. [...] And, from the scourging, to the piercing of his side after his death on the cross, Christ has really shed all of his blood as the true Lamb immolated for universal redemption."

The shedding of blood is also a theme that runs throughout history, the Pope continued.

The blood of Abel, slain by his brother, cried out to God from the earth. "And, unfortunately, today as yesterday, this cry does not cease, since human blood continues to run because of violence, injustice and hatred," he lamented. "When will men learn that life is sacred and belongs to God alone? When will men understand that we are all brothers?"

However, the Holy Father recalled, "To the cry of the blood that goes up from many parts of the earth, God answers with the blood of his Son, who gave his life for us. Christ did not answer evil with evil, but with good, with his infinite love. The blood of Christ is the pledge of the faithful love of God for humanity."

This truth can be a comfort for all people, regardless of their personal situations, the Pontiff contended.

"Looking upon the wounds of the Crucified, every man, even in conditions of extreme moral misery, can say: God has not abandoned me, he loves me, he gave his life for me -- and in this way rediscover hope," the Bishop of Rome affirmed.

And he concluded with a prayer to Christ's mother: "May the Virgin Mary, who beneath the cross, together with the apostle John, witnessed the testament of Jesus' blood, help us to rediscover the inestimable riches of this grace, and to feel profound and perennial gratitude for it."

Kembali Kepada Asas

Belia-IPT Masuk Kampung

“Kembali Kepada Asas”

“Belia –IPT Masuk Kampung, lawaklah ini program, bukankah mereka juga urang kampung”. Merupakan antara komen yang diberikan oleh sesetengah masyarakat. Pada 16 -26 Jun 2009 yang lalu Program Belia-IPT Masuk Kampung telah diadakan di KSFX, ramai umat yang tidak memahami mengapa “orang kampung” dihantar masuk ke kampung. Menurut lapan orang peserta BMK tahun ini, yang terdiri daripada 3 peserta perempuan dan 5 lelaki. Program kali ini benar-benar menyedarkan mereka akan “diri mereka sebagai orang kampung”.


Keadaan setiap kampung adalah berbeza dari segi sosio-budaya, politik, ekonomi dan demografik. Perbezaan ini lah yang menjadikan pengalaman setiap peserta ini sangat berharga, bukan sahaja mendapat keluarga angkat namun mengenali dan memahami erti kehidupan seterusnya bersyukur akan keberadaan diri sendiri.


Kenyataan hidup para graduan pada masa kini banyak telah berubah, terdapat segelintir atau pun ramai yang telah mula melupakan asal-usul sendiri, malahan ada yang tidak sanggup untuk pulang ke kampung asal kerana keadaan yang di anggap tidak sesuai dengan status mereka kini. Tambah menyedihkan ramai yang telah melupakan nilai ”hidup dalam kesederhanaan” ramai graduan telah mula terikat dengan kebangaan hidup materialistik. Melalui program BMK, para peserta bukan sahaja diberikan tugas untuk dilaksanakan di kampung dilawati tetapi belajar untuk lebih mencintai diri, asal-usul dan keindahan hidup dalam kesederhanaan. ”Cara hidup yang sederhana ini, mengingatkan saya agar saya tetap menerima perjalanan hidup saya dan melaluinya dengan penuh rasa syukur” demikianlah perkongsian Sdra. Roney Eming, yang merupakan salah seorang peserta BMK kali ini.


Program BMK yang dimulakan kembali di Diosis Keningau ini sememangnya merupakan stau program yang dinanti-nantikan oleh masyarakat jauh di kawasan pedalaman. Ini kerana mereka melihat program ini mampu menyuntik semangat rohani dan perjuangan kepada para masyarakat, terutama nya para belia dan kanak-kanak dalam memperolehi kejayaan. Bagi masyarakat yang dilawati, ianya merupakan satu rahmat cinta kasih Tuhan kepada mereka. Dengan perkongisan pengetahuan samaada rohani, akademik atau sukan rekreasi ianya telah memperlihatkan mereka bahawa Gereja juga prihatin dan mengutamakan pembangunan secara penuh di tempat mereka. ”Semoga tahun hadapan lebih ramai belia IPT yang mahu mengikuti program ini” merupakan sebahagian harapan penduduk kampung di Kg. Pemuntarian dan Kg Lanas yang telah dilawati selama 4 hari. Terima kasih kepada lapan orang belia IPT yang mahu diutus menjadi diplomat kecil Diosis Keningau.
