URBI ET ORBI MESSAGE
-TO THE CITY AND TO THE WORLDFROM POPE FRANCIS
EASTER 2014, ST. PETER’S BASILICA
Dear Brothers and Sisters, a Happy and Holy
Easter! The Church throughout the world echoes
the angel’s message to the women: “Do not be
afraid! I know that you are looking for Jesus
who was crucified. He is not here; for he has
been raised… Come, see the place where he lay”
(Mt 28:5-6).
This is the culmination of the Gospel, it is the
Good News par excellence: Jesus, who was
crucified, is risen! This event is the basis of our
faith and our hope. If Christ were not raised,
Christianity would lose its very meaning; the
whole mission of the Church would lose its
impulse, for this is the point from which it first
set out and continues to set out ever anew.
The message which Christians bring to the world
is this: Jesus, love incarnate, died on the cross for
our sins, but God the Father raised him and made
him the Lord of life and death. In Jesus, love has
triumphed over hatred, mercy over sinfulness,
good over evil, truth over lies, life over death.
That is why we tell everyone: “Come and see!”
In every human situation, marked by frailty, sin
and death, the Good News is no mere matter of
words, but a testimony to unconditional and
faithful love: it is about leaving ourselves behind
and encountering others, being close to those
crushed by life’s troubles, sharing with the
needy, standing at the side of the sick, elderly
and the outcast… “Come and see!”: Love is
more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope
blossom in the wilderness.
With this joyful certainty in our hearts, today we
turn to you, risen Lord! Help us to seek you and
to find you, to realize that we have a Father and
are not orphans; that we can love and adore you.
Lord, we pray to you for all the peoples of the
earth: you who have conquered death, grant us
your life, grant us your peace!
Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!
Why do you honor Mary?
Catholics venerate Mary because she is the
mother of God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Veneration is completely different from the
adoration of God. It is the honoring of a person,
not the worship of Almighty God, our Creator.
Catholics believe that Mary is the highest of
God’s creatures because of her exalted role. But
of course, like any other human being, she had to
be saved by the mercy of God. She herself said,
“My spirit rejoices in God my Savior” (Lk 1:47).
We believe that God saved Mary by preserving
her from the stain of original sin at the moment
of her conception (the Immaculate Conception).
The very fact that God took on flesh and became
man (Jn 1:1, 14) indicates that He wished to
involve human beings in His plan of salvation for
mankind. Mary was a key person for this
purpose, so this is why Catholics honor her so
highly.

WISE WORDS
“This woman of faith, Mary of Nazareth, the
Mother of God, has been given to us as a
model in our pilgrimage of faith. From Mary
we learn to surrender to God’s will in all
things. From Mary, we learn to trust even
when all hope seems gone. From Mary, we
learn to love Christ, her Son and the Son of
God. For Mary is not only the Mother of God,
she is Mother of the Church as well.”
--Saint John Paul II
MENSAJE URBI ET ORBI
DEL SANTO PADRE FRANCISCO
PASCUA 2014
Balcón central de la Basílica Vaticana
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Feliz y Santa Pascua.
El anuncio del ángel a las mujeres resuena en la
Iglesia esparcida por todo el mundo: « Vosotras
no temáis, ya sé que buscáis a Jesús el
crucificado. No está aquí. Ha resucitado... Venid
a ver el sitio donde lo pusieron» (Mt 28,5-6).
Esta es la culminación del Evangelio, es la Buena
Noticia por excelencia: Jesús, el crucificado, ha
resucitado. Este acontecimiento es la base de
nuestra fe y de nuestra esperanza: si Cristo no
hubiera resucitado, el cristianismo perdería su
valor; toda la misión de la Iglesia se quedaría sin
brío, pues desde aquí ha comenzado y desde aquí
reemprende siempre de nuevo. El mensaje que
los cristianos llevan al mundo es este: Jesús, el
Amor encarnado, murió en la cruz por nuestros
pecados, pero Dios Padre lo resucitó y lo ha
constituido Señor de la vida y de la muerte.
En Jesús, el Amor ha vencido al odio, la
misericordia al pecado, el bien al mal, la verdad a
la mentira, la vida a la muerte.
Por esto decimos a todos: «Venid y veréis». En
toda situación humana, marcada por la fragilidad,
el pecado y la muerte, la Buena Nueva no es sólo
una palabra, sino un testimonio de amor gratuito
y fiel: es un salir de sí mismo para ir al encuentro
del otro, estar al lado de los heridos por la vida,
compartir con quien carece de lo necesario,
permanecer junto al enfermo, al anciano, al
excluido... «Venid y veréis»: El amor es más
fuerte, el amor da vida, el amor hace florecer la
esperanza en el desierto.
Con esta gozosa certeza, nos dirigimos hoy a ti,
Señor resucitado. Ayúdanos a buscarte para que
todos podamos encontrarte, saber que tenemos un
Padre y no nos sentimos huérfanos; que podemos
amarte y adorarte.
Ayúdanos a derrotar el flagelo del hambre,
agravada por los conflictos y los inmensos
derroches de los que a menudo somos cómplices.
Haznos disponibles para proteger a los
indefensos, especialmente a los niños, a las
mujeres y a los ancianos, a veces sometidos a la
explotación y al abandono. Te rogamos, Jesús
glorioso, que cesen todas las guerras, toda
hostilidad pequeña o grande, antigua o reciente.
Te rogamos, Señor, por todos los pueblos de la
Tierra: Tú, que has vencido a la muerte,
concédenos tu vida, danos tu paz.
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, Feliz Pascua.
