The Year of Conse- crated Life began on November 30 with a Mass cele- brated by Cardinal João Braz de Aviz in St. Peter’s Basil- ica. The prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life took the place of Pope Francis, who was in Istanbul on the final day of his apostolic journey to Turkey. The Mass was pre- ceded by a Novem- ber 29 prayer vigil at the Basilica of Santa Maria Mag- giore and by the November 28 re- lease of an apos- tolic letter by the Pontiff to all conse- crated persons— that is, those who have made vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience. The year will conclude on February 2, 2016. In his apostolic let- ter, Pope Francis said that the year’s aims are “to look to the past with grat- itude,” “to live the present with pas- sion,” and “to em- brace the future with hope.” He stated: A Co-educational Catholic Boarding and Day School for 3–18 year olds 01254 827073 admissions@stonyhurst.ac.uk www.stonyhurst.ac.uk Stonyhurst Clitheroe Lancashire BB7 9PZ Developing outstanding individuals SCHOLARSHIP EXAMS – 17 th January 2015 (11 /13 Academic/St Francis Xavier Award) Generous bursaries and scholarships available Sendnewsreports,photosandother material to the editor, Fr.

Page 2 The Vine January 2015 Getting into print Rome Guinea As Pope Francis and leaders of other churches and religions signed a declaration pledging to work together to help end mod- ern slavery in the world by 2020, he urged governments, busi- nesses and all people of good will to join forces against this “crime against humanity.” Tens of millions of people are “in chains” because of human trafficking and forced labor, and it is leading to their “dehumanization and humiliation,” the pope said at the ceremony Dec. 2, the U.N. Day for the Abolition of Slavery. Every human person is born with the same dignity and freedom, and any form of discrimination that does not respect this truth “is a crime and very often an abhorrent crime,” the pope said. Inspired by their religious beliefs and a desire “to take practical action,” the pope and 11 leaders representing the Muslim, Jewish, Orthodox, Anglican, Buddhist and Hindu faiths made a united commitment to help eradicate slavery worldwide. The leaders signed the joint declaration at the head- quarters of Pontifical Academy of Sciences in the Vatican Gar- dens. The signatories included: Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury; Rabbi David Rosen, international direc- tor of interreligious affairs for the American Jewish Committee; Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi al-Modarresi, an influential Shiite scholar; and representatives signing on behalf of Ahmad el- Tayeb, the grand imam of Al-Azhar University — a leading Sunni Muslim institution in Cairo — and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople. Vatican City Australia A ustralia’s ambassador to the Holy See, John McCarthy, arranged for Mass to be offered in the chapel of the Venerable English College, Rome, on Tuesday, 2 December for Phillip Hughes and his family. The Vatican Cricket XI (Saint Peter’s Cricket Club) attended along with representatives from the Pontifical Council for Culture and sup- porters of the Vatican team. The Mass was celebrated by Fr Anthony Currer, an English priest working at the Pontifical Council for Chris- tian Unity, who is captain of the Vatican XI, together with Australian Columban Fr Robert McCulloch, committee member, and Fr Eamonn O’Higgins, team manager. Phillip was knocked unconscious by a bouncer, during a Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground, on 25 November. He died on 27 November just three days before his 26th birthday. Pope Francis has named Cardinal Robert Sarah, the president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, as the new prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. The Guinea-born cardinal succeeds Cardinal Antonio Cañizares Llovera, who led the Congregation from 2008 until his August appointment as Archbishop of Valencia, Spain. Pope Francis reportedly offered the new post to Cardinal Sarah during a private audience with the African prelate on Novem- ber 13. Vatican sources report that the cardinal was reluctant to leave his current position as the head of the Holy See’s char- itable agency. It has been widely rumored, however, that Cor Unum will be folded into a new Vatican congregation, along with other offices including the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the Pontifical Council for Migrants.

Angela Brewer (nee Crisp) Your next deadline: January 1 2015 In this time of preparation for Christmas, let us ask the Lord to be founded firmly on the rock that is Him, our hope which is Him. We are all sinners, we are weak, but if we place our hope in Him we can go forward. And this is the joy of a Christian: knowing that in Him there is hope, there is pardon, there is peace, there is joy. And not to place our hope in things that are today, and tomorrow will not be.” Pope Francis
