Pope urges Catholics to rediscover 'enormous wealth' of Vatican II

 Written by CYW.com Print


This from the Tablet:

Pope Benedict XVI has urged Catholics to re-read the documents of the Second Vatican Council, saying they "contain an enormous wealth for the formation of a new generation of Christians and for the formation of our consciences".

Speaking on Sunday at a Mass in Frascati near his summer residence of Castel Gandolfo, the 85-year-old Pope said going back to the work produced by the Council 50 years after it began (1962) was essential to the New Evangelisation. "Therefore, read it and read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and in this way rediscover the beauty of being Christians, of being Church and living the great 'we' that Jesus formed around himself in order to evangelise the world," he said.
