As part of the agreement, the complete recording of the event will be stored in YouTube and available public. The video is 4 hours 15 minutes long. If you couldn’t watch the broadcast live, you can do it now. It covers all the broadcast which started one hour and 10 minutes before the Beatification Mass began. It’s final scenes come from inside the St. Peter’s Basilica where the gasket carrying the corps of Blessed John Paul II was venerated by the Pope, Cardinals and Bishops present in the ceremony.

During first 4 minutes test screen of RAI TV is displayed with audiotrack in the background. Prayers on the St. Peter’s Square prompt to the Beatification Mass take almost 70 minutes of the broadcast. The Mass starts at 1:10:40 and lasts until 3:58:50. Veneration of the corps of Blessed John Paul II is presented during final 15 minutes of the video. Streaming volume is at about 1,24GB (at 360p resolution). Narration, if occurs, is in Italian.

Those who choose to live a consecrated life do so for the sake of the gospel. In 1997, Venerable Pope John Paul II called February 2, the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, to be observed as World Day for Consecrated Life. He explained, because “the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple is an eloquent icon of the total offering of one’s life for all those who are called to show forth in the Church and in the world, by means of the evangelical counsels the characteristic features of Jesus — the chaste, poor and obedient one.” (In the United States, when February 2 is not on a Sunday, we celebrate on the Sunday after the Presentation.)

Some Christian women and men respond to God’s call to become followers of Jesus through profession of vows and a life dedicated to prayer and service. They live out the consecrated life in different ways. Religious sisters, nuns, brothers, religious priests, and monks consecrate their lives through their profession of the evangelical vows and live as part of a community. Single lay people may choose to be consecrated virgins and make private vows to the local bishop as they live out their vocation in various walks of life. Secular institutes are another form of living the consecrated life as single people. Those who become followers of Jesus through the consecrated life bless the Church.

In John Paul II’s message for the 1st World Day of Consecrated Life, the Pontiff explained that the day has three purposes:

In the first place, it answers the intimate need to praise the Lord more solemnly and to thank him for the great gift of consecrated life, which enriches and gladdens the Christian community by the multiplicity of its charisms and by the edifying fruits of so many lives totally given to the cause of the Kingdom …

In the second place, this day is intended to promote a knowledge of and esteem for the consecrated life by the entire People of God … The third reason regards consecrated persons directly. They are invited to celebrate together solemnly the marvels which the Lord has accomplished in them, to discover by a more illumined faith the rays of divine beauty spread by the Spirit in their way of life, and to acquire a more vivid consciousness of their irreplaceable mission in the Church and in the world.

Immersed in a world which is often agitated and distracted, taken up sometimes by the press of responsibilities, consecrated persons also will be helped by the celebration of this annual World Day to return to the sources of their vocation, to take stock of their own lives, to confirm the commitment of their own consecration.

Prayer for Consecrated Persons

God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as sisters, brothers, religious priests, consecrated virgins, hermits, as well as members of Secular Institutes and Societies of Apostolic Life. Renew their knowledge and love of you, and send your Holy Spirit to help them respond generously and courageously to your will. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Unless previous years, these Christmas greetings come from both Superior General and members of the General Council. Fr.

For this Christmas, my hope is, that our witness in the world be a sign that helps people leave the night and enter the day, walk form their darkness into new light, lift them from despair and fill the with hope, pass them form death unto a new life and out of hell into heaven. we can do that if we truly live the gift of Incarnate Christ, the gift of his life, the gift of his peace, the gift of his love…

W tym roku do życzeń przyłączyli się wszyscy aktualni członkowie Rady Generalnej. Rozpoczął O. Generał: “Pozdrowienia dla wszystkich członków Rodziny Wincentyńskiej na całym świecie z Kurii Generalnej Zgromadzenia Misji. Mam nadzieję, w czasie tegorocznych świąt Bożego Narodzenia, że nasze świadectwo w świecie będzie znakiem, który pomoże ludziom opuścić noc i wkroczyć w dzień, wyjść im z ciemności do nowego światła,wyprowadzić ich z rozpaczy i napełnić nadzieją, przenieść ich ze śmierci do nowego życia oraz z piekła do nieba. Możemy tego dokonać, jeżeli prawdziwie przeżyjemy dar Chrystusa Wcielonego, dar Jego życia, dar Jego pokoju, dar Jego miłości…”
