MESSAGE OF POPE FRANCIS FOR THE TWENTY-NINTH WORLD YOUTH DAY

MESSAGE OF POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE TWENTY-NINTH WORLD YOUTH DAY
2014

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 5:3)

Dear Young Friends,

How vividly I recall the remarkable meeting we had in Rio de Janeiro for the Twenty-eighth World Youth Day. It was a great celebration of faith and fellowship! The wonderful people of Brazil welcomed us with open arms, like the statue of Christ the Redeemer which looks down from the hill of Corcovado over the magnificent expanse of Copacabana beach. There, on the seashore, Jesus renewed his call to each one of us to become his missionary disciples. May we perceive this call as the most important thing in our lives and share this gift with others, those near and far, even to the distant geographical and existential peripheries of our world.

The next stop on our intercontinental youth pilgrimage will be in Krakow in 2016. As a way of accompanying our journey together, for the next three years I would like to reflect with you on the Beatitudes found in the Gospel of Saint Matthew (5:1-12). This year we will begin by reflecting on the first Beatitude: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 5:3). For 2015 I suggest: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Mt 5:8). Then, in 2016, our theme will be: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Mt 5:7).

1. The revolutionary power of the Beatitudes

It is always a joyful experience for us to read and reflect on the Beatitudes! Jesus proclaimed them in his first great sermon, preached on the shore of the sea of Galilee. There was a very large crowd, so Jesus went up on the mountain to teach his disciples. That is why it is known as “the Sermon on the Mount”. In the Bible, the mountain is regarded as a place where God reveals himself. Jesus, by preaching on the mount, reveals himself to be a divine teacher, a new Moses. What does he tell us? He shows us the way to life, the way that he himself has taken. Jesus himself is the way, and he proposes this way as the path to true happiness. Throughout his life, from his birth in the stable in Bethlehem until his death on the cross and his resurrection, Jesus embodied the Beatitudes. All the promises of God’s Kingdom were fulfilled in him.

In proclaiming the Beatitudes, Jesus asks us to follow him and to travel with him along the path of love, the path that alone leads to eternal life. It is not an easy journey, yet the Lord promises us his grace and he never abandons us. We face so many challenges in life: poverty, distress, humiliation, the struggle for justice, persecutions, the difficulty of daily conversion, the effort to remain faithful to our call to holiness, and many others. But if we open the door to Jesus and allow him to be part of our lives, if we share our joys and sorrows with him, then we will experience the peace and joy that only God, who is infinite love, can give.

The Beatitudes of Jesus are new and revolutionary. They present a model of happiness contrary to what is usually communicated by the media and by the prevailing wisdom. A worldly way of thinking finds it scandalous that God became one of us and died on a cross! According to the logic of this world, those whom Jesus proclaimed blessed are regarded as useless, “losers”. What is glorified is success at any cost, affluence, the arrogance of power and self-affirmation at the expense of others.

Jesus challenges us, young friends, to take seriously his approach to life and to decide which path is right for us and leads to true joy. This is the great challenge of faith. Jesus was not afraid to ask his disciples if they truly wanted to follow him or if they preferred to take another path (cf. Jn 6:67). Simon Peter had the courage to reply: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (Jn 6:68). If you too are able to say “yes” to Jesus, your lives will become both meaningful and fruitful.

K. Msifu Bwana, Ee Yerusalemu

SOMO 1:Kum.8:2-3, 14-16a

Musa aliwaambia makutano:

         Utaikumbuka njia ile yote Bwana, Mungu wako, aliyokuongoza miaka hii arobaini katika jangwa, ili akutweze, kukujaribu, kuyajua yaliyo moyoni mwako, kwamba utashika amri zake, au sivyo. Akakutweza, akakuacha uone njaa, akakulisha kwa mana. Usiyoijua wewe wala baba zako hawakuijua; apate kukujulisha ya kuwa mwanadamu haishi kwa mkate tu, bali huishi kwa kila litokalo katika kinywa cha Bwana. Basi hapo moyo wako usiinuke, ukamsahau Bwana, Mungu wako, uliyekutoa katika nchi ya Misri, katika nyumba ya utumwa; aliyekuongoza katika jangwa lile kubwa lenye kitisho, lenye nyoka za moto na nge, nchi ya kiu isiyokuwa na maji; aliyekutolea maji katika mwamba mgumu, aliyekulisha jangwani kwa mana, wasiyoijua baba zao.

SOMO 2:1Kor. 10:16-17

Kikombe kile cha Baraka tukibarikicho, je! Si ushirika wa damu ya Kristo? Mkate ule tuumegao, si ushirika wa mwili wa Kristo? Kwa maana sisi sote twapokea sehemu ya ule mkate mmoja.

INJILI: Yn.6:51-58

Yesu aliwaambia Wayahudi:

          Mimi ndimi chakula chenye uzima kilichoshuka kutoka mbinguni; mtu akila chakula hiki, ataishi milele. Na chakula nitakachotoa mimi ni mwili wangu, kwa ajili ya uzima wa ulimwengu. Basi Wayahudi walishindana wao kwa wao wakisema, Awezaje mtu huyu kutupa sis mwili wake ili tuule? Basi Yesu akawaambia, Amin, Amin, nawaambieni, msipoula mwili wake Mwana wa Adamu na kuinywa damu yake, hamna uzima ndani yenu. Aulaye  mwili wangu na kuinywa damu yangu anao uzima wa milele; name nitamfufua siku ya mwisho. Kwa maana mwili wangu ni chakula cha kweli, na damu yangu ni kinywaji cha kweli. Aulaye mwili wangu na kuinywa damu yangu hukaa ndani yangu, name hukaa ndani yake. Kama vile Baba aliye hai alivyonituma mimi, name ni hai kwa Baba; kadhalika naye mwenye kunila atakuwa hai kwa mimi. Hiki ndicho chakula kishukacho kutoka mbinguni; si kama mababa walivyokula, wakafa; bali akilaye chakula hicho ataishi milele.

SOMO 1:Kut.34:4b-6, 8-9

  Musa aliinuka asubuhi na mapema, naye akakwea katika mlima wa Sinai, kama Bwana alivyomwamuru, akazichukua hizo mbao mbili za mawe mkononi mwake. Bwana akashuka ndani ya lile wingu, akasimama pamoja naye huko, akalitangaza jina la Bwana. Bwana akapita mbele yake, akalitangaza, Bwana , Bwana, Mungu mwingi wa huruma, mwenye fadhili, si mwepesi wa hasira, mwingi wa rehema na kweli; Musa akafanya haraka, akainamisha kichwa chake hata nchi, akasujudu. Akasema ikiwa sasa nimepata neema mbele zako, Bwana, nakuomba, Bwana, uende kati yetu maana ni watu wenye shingo ngumu; ukasamehe uovu wetu na dhambi yetu, ukatutwae tuwe urithi wako.

SOMO 2:2Kor.13:11-14

Hatimaye, ndugu, kwaherini; mtimilike, mfarijike, nieni mamoja, make katika Amani; na Mungu wa upendo na Amani atakuwa pamoja nanyi. Salimianeni kwa busu takatifu. Watakatifu wote wawasalimu. Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo, na pendo la Mungu. Na ushirika wa Roho Mtakatifu ukae nanyi nyote.

INJILI:Yn.3:16-18

Yesu alimwambia Nikodemu: kwa maana jinsi hii Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu, hata akamtoa mwanae wa pekee, ili kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele. Maana Mungu hakumtuma mwana ulimwenguni ili auhukumu ulimwengu, bali ulimwengu uokolewe katika yeye. Amwaminiye yeye hahukumiwi; asiyeamini amekwisha kuhukumiwa; kwa sababu hakuliamini jina la mwana pekee wa Mungu.
