Descriptive Title
Benedict XVI Message to Internationl Convention "Jesus, Our Contemporary"" 2012
Description
A congress organized by the Cultural Project Committee of the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI) was held in Rome on the theme: "Jesus, Our Contemporary". For the occasion, Benedict XVI sent a message to Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, archbishop of Genoa and president of the CEI. "The name and the message of Jesus of Nazareth", the Pope writes, "frequently arouse interest and exert strong attraction, even among people who do not succeed in adhering to His word of salvation. We are therefore impelled to evoke an increasingly profound and thorough understanding, in ourselves and everywhere, of the real figure of Jesus Christ. This can only spring from the hermeneutic of faith, placed in a fruitful relationship with historical reason. It was for this purpose that I wrote my two books on Jesus of Nazareth".

With this message that I send to you on the occasion of the 62nd General Assembly of the Italian Episcopal Conference, I intend to make myself a pilgrim to Assisi in spirit in order to be present and to reach out personally, to you and to each one of the Bishops who have gathered as caring Pastors of the beloved particular Churches in Italy.
Your solicitude and commitment are expressed in responsible governance of the dioceses and in fatherly closeness to your priests and parish communities. An eloquent sign of this is attention to the topic of education which you have made your priority for the decade that is beginning.
