On May 5, at Tor Vergata (Rome), Pope Francis will meet the members of the Neocatechumenal Way gathered for their international meeting. The occasion will mark 50 years of the presence of the Way in Rome. 150 thousand participants from 134 nations are expected to attend. The Pope will send out 36 new “missio ad gentes” groups that will take the Gospel into secularized areas or in regions with Christian minorities. Francis will also bless the 20 communities, that are part of parishes of Rome, which have already concluded this form of Christian initiation. The meeting, which will end with the singing of the “Te Deum”, will be led by the international core group of the Neocatechumenal Way, composed of Kiko Argüello, Fr Mario Pezzi and Ascensión Romero.

Brotherhood, being children of the same Father, can be the root of every kind of pacifism. In this excerpt from the “Catholic Revolt”, Igino Giordani wrote almost an invocation, a poetic appeal that compels us to look up and opens our eyes to who our brother is, that brother who may be labelled as an enemy, as a foreigner, as a migrant, but is always a brother. It is an appeal written back in 1925, that still touches our deepest chords and challenges us to be builders of peace.
