Regina Cæli, 3 April 2005, Eucharistic celebration for the repose of the soul of His Holiness John Paul II - Divine Mercy SundayPope John Paul II died peacefully on the evening of 2 April, 9: 37 p.m. Rome time. The last gift of the Holy Father for Divine Mercy Sunday, 3 April (also the Second Sunday of Easter), was the Regina Caeli, read by Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, Substitute of the Secretariat of State, at the end of the Holy Mass celebrated that day in St Peter's Square for the deceased Pope. "I have been charged", Archbishop Sandri said, "to read you the text that was prepared in accordance with his explicit instructions by the Holy Father John Paul II. I am deeply honoured to do so, but also filled with nostalgia".

Letter to Priests for Holy Thursday, 2005LETTER OF THE HOLY FATHER Dear Priests! 1. In this Year of the Eucharist, I particularly welcome our annual spiritual encounter for Holy Thursday, the day when Christ's love was manifested "to the end" (cf. Jn 13:1), the day of the Eucharist, the day of our priesthood. My thoughts turn to you, dear priests, as I spend this time recuperating in hospital, a patient alongside other patients, uniting in the Eucharist my own sufferings with those of Christ. In this spirit I want to reflect with you on some aspects of our priestly spirituality.
The rapid developmentLETTRE APOSTOLIQUE 1. Le progrès rapide des technologies dans le domaine des médias est assurément un des signes du progrès de la société moderne. En considérant ces nouveautés en évolution continuelle, le texte du Décret du Concile Œcuménique Vatican II Inter mirifica, promulgué par mon vénéré prédécesseur, le Serviteur de Dieu Paul VI, le 4 décembre 1963, semble encore plus actuel: “Parmi les admirables inventions techniques que, Dieu aidant, le génie humain a pu extraire de l’univers créé, l’Église accueille et suit avec une sollicitude particulière celles qui concernent avant tout l’esprit même de l’homme et qui ont ouvert des voies nouvelles pour communiquer des informations de toutes sortes”.[1]
To the members of the Roman Curia and Prelature for Christmas (December 21, 2004)CHRISTMAS ADDRESS OF Tuesday, 21 December 2004
Your Eminences, 1. Every year, the approach of the festive Christmas celebrations stirs feelings of serenity and peace. The birth of Jesus is an event that moves our hearts. The eternal Word became flesh and came to dwell among us (cf. Jn 1: 14). In the next few days, the Liturgy will remind us more than once of this fundamental truth of our faith: "Christus natus est nobis, venite, adoremus", (Christ is born for us, come, let us adore him).
PASTORES GREGISEXHORTATION APOSTOLIQUE
INTRODUCTION 1. Les Pasteurs du troupeau savent que, dans l'accomplissement de leur ministère d'Évêques, ils peuvent compter sur une grâce divine particulière. Dans le Pontifical romain, pendant la prière solennelle d'ordination, l'Évêque ordinant principal, après avoir invoqué l'effusion de l'Esprit qui dirige et qui guide, répète les paroles que l'on trouvait déjà dans l'antique texte de la Tradition apostolique: « Père, toi qui connais le cœur de chacun, donne à celui que tu as choisi pour l'épiscopat de remplir sans défaillance la fonction de grand prêtre ».1 C'est ainsi que continue à être accomplie la volonté du Seigneur Jésus, Pasteur éternel qui a envoyé les Apôtres comme lui-même avait été envoyé par le Père (cf. Jn 20,21) et qui a voulu que leurs successeurs, c'est-à-dire les Évêques, soient les pasteurs dans son Église jusqu'à la fin des siècles.2
ECCLESIA IN URBE GIOVANNI PAOLO VESCOVO COSTITUZIONE APOSTOLICA ECCLESIA IN URBE* CIRCA IL NUOVO ORDINAMENTO
1. La Chiesa che è in Roma è chiamata a svolgere un compito del tutto singolare: essa, afferma il Libro del Sinodo, è « la prima nella grande famiglia della Chiesa, nella famiglia delle Diocesi sorelle » e « partecipa alla sollecitudine universale del suo Vescovo: è per se stessa aperta e riferita in maniera singolare all'universalità dell'unica Chiesa; in tal modo deve vivere il suo stesso essere Chiesa particolare ».(1) Infatti in Roma dagli Apostoli Pietro e Paolo è stata fondata e costituita quella Chiesa « con la quale, in ragione della sua autorità superiore, deve accordarsi ogni Chiesa, cioè i fedeli di tutto il mondo, poiché in essa è stata conservata la tradizione apostolica attraverso i suoi capi »: (2) ad essa guardano tutte le altre Chiese, come a colei « che presiede alla carità ».(3)

Homilia w czasie nabożeństwa zamykającego synod diecezjalnyJan Paweł IIHOMILIA W CZASIE NABOŻEŃSTWA ZAMYKAJĄCEGO SYNOD DIECEZJALNYPłock, 7 VI 19911. Serce Jezusa, Królu i zjednoczenie serc wszystkich! Podczas czerwcowego nabożeństwa biskup i pasterz Kościoła płockiego przekazał mi dokumenty Synodu waszej diecezji. Synod ten - podobnie jak tyle innych synodów diecezji i prowincji kościelnych na całym świecie - jest jednym z tych "żywych kamieni" (por. 1 P 2,5), poprzez które Kościół powszechny w każdym z partykularnych i lokalnych Kościołów podejmuje wielkie dzieło realizacji Soboru Watykańskiego II.
