‘Priests today’ is the title of an afternoon of testimonies and artistic presentations, organised by the Focolare Movement and the Schoenstatt Movement in collaboration with the International Catholic Charismatic Movement and other ecclesial bodies, to contribute to a renewal of the life and ministry of priests, in the Church and in today’s society. The new charisms are at the root of this meeting, gifts of the Spirit with which God enriches the Church, in this time of particular difficulty, to lead it to a ‘new springtime’. Testimonies – Amongst the main speakers: a priest from Ireland speaking about faithfulness to a calling from God: from Burundi, the survivors from an attack on a Junior Seminary in Buta where 40 young seminarians were martyred; from Germany, a priest who overcame a drink problem with the help of his community. Others will speak about illness; emotional life and celibacy lived in a fraternal context; pastoral work in our multicultural and multi-religious world of today. From Brazil – a major evangelisation programme together with lay people in the South of the country. Television Transmissions – the programme can be seen on the Internet in many countries (http://www.sacerdotioggi.org/page.php?id=10); on satellite from Vatican Television Centre, on Telepace, EWTN, Canção Nova, Telelumière e Mariavision; and later in the day on TV2000 from 22:00 (Italian time) on 9 June (http://www.sacerdotioggi.org/page.php?id=9) The event precedes the Vigil on 10 June in St Peter’s Square with the Pope and the solemn celebration of the Eucharist on 11 June (see: www.annussacerdotalis.org).
