Freedom & Justice Conference: Freedom & Justice Eucharist

Side 1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Let us pray.
 
2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,480
Lord, you guide all creation with fatherly care.
 
3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:21,760
As you have given all men one common origin, bring them together peacefully into one family
 
4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,360
and keep them united in brotherly love.
 
5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:31,440
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and
 
6
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,760
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
 
7
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:36,260
Amen.
 
8
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:08,040
A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
 
9
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:18,880
For thus says he who is high and exalted, living eternally, whose name is the Holy One,
 
10
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:28,880
In high I dwell, and in holiness, and with the crushed and dejected in spirit, to revive
 
11
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:36,320
the spirits of the dejected, to revive the hearts of the crushed.
 
12
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:40,560
I will not accuse forever.
 
13
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:48,800
I will not always be angry, for their spirits would faint before me, the souls that I have
 
14
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:57,400
have made. Because of their wicked avarice, I was angry and struck them,
 
15
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:07,040
hiding myself in wrath as they went their own rebellious way. I saw their
 
16
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:16,840
ways, but I will heal them and lead them. I will give full comfort to them and to
 
17
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:28,740
those who mourn for them. I, the creator who gave them life. Peace, peace to the
 
18
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:38,740
far and the near, says the Lord, for I will heal them. This is the word of the
 
19
00:02:38,740 --> 00:02:41,040
Lord.
 
20
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:51,880
A reading from the letter of Paul to the Colossians.
 
21
00:02:51,880 --> 00:03:02,160
Because you are God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt
 
22
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:12,160
mercy, with kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
 
23
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Bear with one another.
 
24
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:21,160
Forgive whatever grievances you have against one another.
 
25
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,160
Forgive as the Lord has forgiven you.
 
26
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Over all these virtues, put on love,
 
27
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,160
which binds the rest together and makes them perfect.
 
28
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,160
Christ's peace must reign in your hearts,
 
29
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,160
since as members of one body,
 
30
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,160
you have been called to that peace.
 
31
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,160
Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness.
 
32
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,160
This is the word of the Lord.
 
33
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Thank you, God.
 
34
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,160
The Lord be with you.
 
35
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,160
And also with you.
 
36
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:37,480
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
 
37
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:45,680
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up to the mountainside.
 
38
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:58,100
After he had sat down, his disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them.
 
39
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:02,440
How blessed are the poor in spirit!
 
40
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,240
The reign of God is theirs.
 
41
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,700
Blessed too are the sorrowing.
 
42
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:15,160
They shall be consoled.
 
43
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Blessed are the lowly, they shall inherit the land.
 
44
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness, they shall have their fill.
 
45
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:43,320
Blessed are those who show mercy, mercy shall be theirs.
 
46
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:50,560
Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall see God.
 
47
00:05:50,560 --> 00:06:00,080
Blessed too the peacemakers, they shall be called sons of God.
 
48
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Blessed are those who are persecuted for holiness' sake, the reign of God is theirs.
 
49
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:19,680
What are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of slander against
 
50
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,320
you because of me?
 
51
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:33,200
Be glad and rejoice, for your reward in heaven is great.
 
52
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,520
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
 
53
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,680
Alleluia, Alleluia.
 
54
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,680
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
 
55
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:22,680
because he has anointed me, he has sent me to announce good news to the poor,
 
56
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:34,680
to proclaim liberty for prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,
 
57
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,680
to let the broken victims go free,
 
58
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,680
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.
 
59
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,680
Such were the words of Jesus on the day
 
60
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:13,680
when at the age of 30 he was able to rise in the synagogue of Nazareth.
 
61
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:30,680
By this word he reveals his messianic mission.
 
62
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:38,680
Messiah means the anointed one.
 
63
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:54,680
And thus Israel, the people of the old covenant, is faced by the Messiah,
 
64
00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:07,680
by him whom the Father had anointed with the Holy Spirit,
 
65
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:12,680
and sent into the world.
 
66
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:24,680
This same Jesus Christ today faces us all,
 
67
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:45,000
the people of the new covenant here on American soil in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly
 
68
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:55,500
where the Eucharistic Congress is taking place.
 
69
00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:11,000
And again, Jesus defines himself and his mission in the same way.
 
70
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,700
Therefore he hath said to his disciples,
 
71
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:29,840
I am with you always to the end of time.
 
72
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:38,960
He has instituted the sacrament of his body and blood
 
73
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:56,960
precisely in order to be, to be really and sacramentally with us.
 
74
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:10,600
When we are gathered here in such numbers from all the parts of the world, it is therefore
 
75
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:23,880
right to be with Him, with the Eucharistic Jesus, in a special way.
 
76
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:43,000
It is right to return to the worlds with which he proclaims liberation for all who are deprived
 
77
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,640
of freedom.
 
78
00:11:49,640 --> 00:12:00,720
The Eucharist is the food which satisfies man's deepest hunger.
 
79
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:16,120
Created in the image and likeness of God himself, man can find the final appeasement of his
 
80
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:28,120
hunger and fulfillment of his desires in God alone.
 
81
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:38,800
Our heart is not quiet until it rests in thee.
 
82
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:46,920
at the same time, created from the dust of the earth,
 
83
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:54,640
and placed among the creatures of the visible world,
 
84
00:12:54,640 --> 00:13:00,440
subjected to the laws of creation,
 
85
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:07,280
and even to some degree to the laws of nature.
 
86
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,080
Man hungers in many ways.
 
87
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:21,300
We have a true vision of the man of our times.
 
88
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:27,640
And we speak truthfully of him when,
 
89
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:34,500
while remembering the physical hunger of millions
 
90
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:45,860
of our brothers, men of all continents, we intend to speak
 
91
00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:58,020
today of the hunger of the human soul, which is no less
 
92
00:13:58,020 --> 00:14:03,020
and hunger for real freedom.
 
93
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:11,580
What this freedom is,
 
94
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:15,620
each of us knows to some extent,
 
95
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:20,940
according to his own experience.
 
96
00:14:22,340 --> 00:14:27,340
It is the principal trait of humanity.
 
97
00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:33,020
and the source of human dignity.
 
98
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:42,020
We read in the pastoral constitution of the Second Vatican Council,
 
99
00:14:43,020 --> 00:14:57,020
our contemporaries make much of this freedom and pursue it eagerly and rightly so.
 
100
00:14:58,020 --> 00:15:11,020
Authentic freedom is an exceptional sign of the divine image within us.
 
101
00:15:12,020 --> 00:15:26,020
Man's dignity demands that he act according to a conscious and free choice.
 
102
00:15:26,020 --> 00:15:42,940
It does not result from blight internal impulse, nor from mere external pressure.
 
103
00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:48,060
so the Vantican Council.
 
104
00:15:48,060 --> 00:16:04,780
Freedom is at the same time offered to man and imposed upon him as a task.
 
105
00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:22,200
It is in the first place an attribute of the human person and in this sense it is a gift
 
106
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:32,520
of the Creator and an endowment of human nature.
 
107
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:44,020
For this reason, it is also the lawful right of man.
 
108
00:16:44,020 --> 00:17:01,500
Man has a right to freedom, to self-determination, to the choice of his life career, to acting
 
109
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:06,500
according to his own right convictions.
 
110
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:13,660
Freedom has been given to man by his creator
 
111
00:17:15,860 --> 00:17:20,860
in order to be used and to be used well.
 
112
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:30,700
But man may not abuse his freedom
 
113
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:45,460
For, as we know perfectly well from said experience, He can abuse His liberty.
 
114
00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:53,180
He can do wrong because He is free.
 
115
00:17:53,180 --> 00:18:05,860
That freedom has been given to him by his Creator, not in order to commit what is evil,
 
116
00:18:05,860 --> 00:18:10,180
but to do good.
 
117
00:18:10,180 --> 00:18:23,980
but also bestowed upon man understanding and conscience to show him what is good and what
 
118
00:18:23,980 --> 00:18:33,100
ought to be done, what is wrong and what should be avoided.
 
119
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:45,500
God's commandments help our understanding and our conscience on the way.
 
120
00:18:45,500 --> 00:19:00,420
The greatest commandment, that of love, leads the way to the fullest use of liberty.
 
121
00:19:00,420 --> 00:19:17,420
has been given to man in order for him to love, to love true good, to love God above
 
122
00:19:17,420 --> 00:19:27,340
to love man as his neighbor and brother.
 
123
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:39,380
Those who obey this truth, this gospel, the real disciples of Jesus Christ, disciples
 
124
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:53,980
of eternal wisdom achieved us a state of royal freedom, for they follow that King whom to
 
125
00:19:53,980 --> 00:20:00,260
serve is to reign.
 
126
00:20:00,260 --> 00:20:09,260
The kingdom is therefore offered to man and given to him as a task.
 
127
00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:19,260
He must not only possess it, but also conquer it.
 
128
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:34,100
He must recognize the work of his life in a good use, in an increasingly better use
 
129
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:38,020
of his liberty.
 
130
00:20:38,020 --> 00:20:51,900
This is the fundamental work on which the value and sense of his whole life depend.
 
131
00:20:51,900 --> 00:21:04,060
Jesus Christ, who stands before us, as he did in the synagogue of Nazareth, to proclaim
 
132
00:21:04,060 --> 00:21:17,700
Freedom to those who do not possess it fulfills now what he has declared.
 
133
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:31,180
In reality, he teaches us and helps us to make a good use, the best possible use of
 
134
00:21:31,180 --> 00:21:33,900
our freedom.
 
135
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:49,040
He wants men while they are free and protects them from becoming slaves of their sins, weaknesses
 
136
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,020
and passions.
 
137
00:21:52,020 --> 00:22:04,400
He protects them from becoming slaves of the flesh, of self-indulgence, of money.
 
138
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:18,120
He entreats them to be internally free, to remain themselves, and to allow neither their
 
139
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:27,880
career, nor riches and applause of the world to enslave them.
 
140
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:41,800
Jesus Christ reveals in the deepest way that there exists in man's soul a real hunger
 
141
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:59,560
for freedom and teaches him what that freedom consists in and how this hunger may be truly
 
142
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,880
satisfied.
 
143
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:09,080
Christ had been teaching this by all his life.
 
144
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:17,040
This was the continual lesson given by this person.
 
145
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:26,880
He does not cease to give us this lesson, not only for the obvious reason that his deeds
 
146
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:38,440
and words have been recorded in the Gospel, but above all, because he remained with us
 
147
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:53,180
in the Eucharist. The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve. These words of
 
148
00:23:53,180 --> 00:24:02,940
Christ came true on Holy Thursday, while he was washing the feet of his disciples, and
 
149
00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:11,020
but most of all on Calvary and in the Eucharist.
 
150
00:24:11,020 --> 00:24:24,260
In this sacrament, he gave himself away and continues giving himself utterly to God his
 
151
00:24:24,260 --> 00:24:29,140
Father and to men.
 
152
00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:39,700
All of you who participate in the Eucharist, if you are to do it with the right interior
 
153
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:52,420
attitude, must at the same time accept the Messianic program of liberation, according
 
154
00:24:52,420 --> 00:25:01,420
to which the best use of freedom is love.
 
155
00:25:01,420 --> 00:25:10,500
And love expresses itself in the service of God and man,
 
156
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:15,180
in laying down one's life for one's brothers.
 
157
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:28,600
The hunger for freedom passes through the heart of every man, and the richer the heart,
 
158
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,980
the greater the hunger.
 
159
00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:42,780
The Eucharist is the chief source of that wealth contained in the human heart.
 
160
00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:57,460
O God, who in this sacrament gives himself wholly to us through this spiritual communion,
 
161
00:25:57,460 --> 00:26:10,340
enriches us in a most magnificent way and brings out from the secret of man's heart
 
162
00:26:10,340 --> 00:26:20,820
all the treasures which its Creator has enclosed within it.
 
163
00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:31,580
In this way, the Eucharist is the wealth of the poor, even of those who are poorest, and
 
164
00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:36,980
food for the hungry.
 
165
00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:48,460
But the hunger for freedom passes also through the history of the human race, through the
 
166
00:26:48,460 --> 00:27:01,020
history of nations and peoples. It reveals their spiritual maturity and at the same time
 
167
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:13,300
tests it. This year is the bicentennial of the day when the hunger for freedom ripened
 
168
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:24,740
in the American society and revealed itself in liberation and the Declaration of Independence
 
169
00:27:24,740 --> 00:27:27,900
of the United States.
 
170
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:43,480
Tadeusz Kościuszko and Kazimierz Pulaski, my compatriots, participated in this fight
 
171
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,320
for independence.
 
172
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:56,820
The heroes of the Polish nation became heroes of American independence.
 
173
00:27:56,820 --> 00:28:09,680
And all this took place at a time when Poland, a big kingdom consisting of three nations,
 
174
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:19,240
The Poles, the Lithuanians, and the Ruthenians were beginning to lose its independence and
 
175
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:27,200
by degrees became the prey of its rapacious neighbors.
 
176
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:35,040
At the same time, while the United States of America were gaining independence, we are
 
177
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,640
losing it for a period of more than a hundred years.

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,120
The heroic efforts and sacrifices similar to those of Kostiushko and Pulaski had been
2
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:26,480
necessary to ripen anew the freedom of the nation and to test it before all the world.
3
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:41,200
I wish to confess here before Eucharistic Jesus that during those old struggles for
4
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:53,920
liberty, he was our inspiration and our first hope.
5
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:05,460
The faith in his resurrection, after his passion and death, has never left us, and in spite
6
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:19,300
of all kinds of distress and persecutions, it has created continually the will to live
7
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:24,840
and the desire of freedom.
8
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:39,080
And thus, Jesus Christ fulfilled his messianic promise once given in Nazareth.
9
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:56,440
The Spirit of the Lord has sent me to announce good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty
10
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:05,480
for all who are deprived of freedom.
11
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:18,400
We believe that in the gospel there is the full and fundamental program of liberation
12
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040
of man.
13
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Jesus Christ is the true prophet of man's freedom and also of the liberty of nations
14
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:46,720
and peoples, of all the oppressed who suffer from hunger for true freedom.
15
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:59,960
Are we not witnesses in our times of the many-sided limitations and even deprivation of freedom
16
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:07,080
of whole societies, nations and states.
17
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:19,080
And all this is happening while colonial nations, up to now subjugated by others, have ripened
18
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:28,560
to freedom and have achieved their independence, a fact which gladdens all those who really
19
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:43,340
love liberty. But it is being already said that old forms of colonialism are being superseded
20
00:03:43,340 --> 00:04:01,240
by new ones. The Synod of Bishops in 1971 spoke also of silent victims of injustice
21
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:11,320
who are deprived of the possibility of making themselves heard.
22
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:20,480
And so, the hunger for freedom continues to be unsatisfied.
23
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:31,220
Individuals and societies, groups and social classes, and above all, the peoples and nations
24
00:04:31,220 --> 00:04:39,220
of our 20th century have acquired a more acute awareness of the fact
25
00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:50,500
the laws of human freedom have been more fully formulated as has been in the case
26
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:57,060
of the law of nations. They have entered the constitutions and codes,
27
00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:11,380
the international declaration and conventions, but have they actually entered real life to
28
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:16,820
the same extent?
29
00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:28,220
In our times, of the background of the maturing social and human consciousness, the principle
30
00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:42,260
of the freedom of the human spirit, of the freedom of conscience, of the freedom of religion
31
00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:54,180
has become much more evident. The Second Vatican Council has expressed it in many places, and
32
00:05:54,180 --> 00:06:06,180
especially in the Declaration on Religion and Freedom. But is this principle really
33
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:21,100
respected everywhere. Do we never meet with the case of those who are underprivileged
34
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:33,140
because of their religious convictions? May we not even speak today of actual persecutions
35
00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:44,940
of those who confess their religion, Christians and others, persecuted as they were in the
36
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:49,660
first century after Christ.
37
00:06:49,660 --> 00:07:00,340
This is what the Declaration on Religious Freedom says on the subject, even though freedom
38
00:07:00,340 --> 00:07:13,140
of religious worship receives constitutional recognition, the powers of the government
39
00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:24,900
are engaged in the effort to deter citizens from professing religion and to make life
40
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:29,900
difficult and dangerous for religious community.
41
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:37,240
Here, I intend to include some words
42
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,240
in my proper language in Polish.
43
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:56,840
You all who are listening to me today, and to whom this language is known and close as
44
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:07,040
the heritage of ancestors, accept the truth that I am preaching.
45
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:15,040
It is deeply ingrained in our common past.
46
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:21,040
When the great rector of the Kraków Academy, Paweł Włodkowicz,
47
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,040
stood before the Councils of Constance,
48
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:33,040
he defended the rights of human conscience and the rights of the nation
49
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:40,040
from those who wanted to convert violence to faith.
50
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:47,040
His words entered the history of the human spirit.
51
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,040
They served as the foundation of international law,
52
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,040
because they contained an indisputable truth.
53
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:15,040
And although many centuries have passed, the same truth is spoken today and demands respect everywhere.
54
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:26,040
Pope John XXIII, in his encyclical about peace in the world, Pacem in Terris,
55
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:51,040
When addressing the entire human family, he said that true peace requires respect for the basic human rights, the right to truth, to freedom, to justice and to love.
56
00:09:51,040 --> 00:10:01,040
No one can be turned away from faith and from his convictions by violence.
57
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:10,040
We, the Bishops of Poland, proclaim the same truth on our homeland,
58
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:17,040
and today here, on the American soil, in Philadelphia.
59
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:31,040
We want, together with all of you, to fight for the great cause of the freedom of man and nations,
60
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:41,040
for the cross and resurrection of Christ, for his Eucharist.
61
00:10:41,040 --> 00:11:08,560
And now I return to the end of my homily in English.
62
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:18,520
Today we bring to this great community of Confessors of the Eucharistic Christ, gathered
63
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:28,480
at the Congress in Philadelphia, the whole hunger for freedom which permeates contemporary
64
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:34,880
man and all humanity.
65
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:46,320
In the name of Jesus Christ, we have the right and the duty to demand true freedom for men
66
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,160
and for peoples.
67
00:11:49,160 --> 00:12:03,080
We therefore bring this hunger for real freedom and deposit it on this altar.
68
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:17,060
only a man, a priest, a bishop, but Christ himself is at this altar. He, who through
69
00:12:17,060 --> 00:12:31,220
our ministration offers his unique and eternal sacrifice. It is the sacrifice of all times.
70
00:12:31,220 --> 00:12:42,380
It is also the sacrifice of our 20th century of its last quarter.
71
00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:56,580
It contains everything of which the earthly existence of each man and of all people consists.
72
00:12:56,580 --> 00:13:08,920
the joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age.
73
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:25,760
Christ, the Son of God, comes to them all and to all of us, as he had once come to the
74
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:38,760
synagogue of Nazareth, and says, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
75
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:53,640
If you dwell within the revelation I have brought, you shall know the truth.
76
00:13:53,640 --> 00:14:12,460
the truth will set you free. You are called to be free men. It was for liberty that Christ
77
00:14:12,460 --> 00:14:27,740
freed us. Live as free men, not, however, as thou your freedom were dare to provide
78
00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:46,420
a screen for wrongdoing, but a servant in God's service. The Spirit of the Lord is
79
00:14:46,420 --> 00:15:04,220
upon me. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Amen.
80
00:15:16,420 --> 00:15:40,180
Jesus, the bread of life, is the source of our strength and aspirations.
81
00:15:40,180 --> 00:15:48,020
As we accept this gift from the Father, let us confidently beg of him the fullness of
82
00:15:48,020 --> 00:15:51,860
freedom and justice for all his children.
83
00:16:10,180 --> 00:16:34,900
We pray to the Lord.
84
00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:42,100
for the young that they may appreciate the gift of freedom to worship and labor ceaselessly
85
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:45,660
to spread the joy of its possession.
86
00:16:45,660 --> 00:16:47,660
We pray to the Lord. Lord hear or prayer
87
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:28,000

We pray to the Lord.
93

You revealed to the world the hope of all believers.
117
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:38,180
Reveal him to men and women everywhere

119
00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:47,340
