A miracle of Providence to convey hope The identity of Radio Maria in the service of the Church: the confidence in the volunteers and in the generosity of the listeners, filial love for Mary and the Pope are the distinguishing features of a widespread missionary effort.

words Divine Providence: “In carrying your intention forward, you have trusted Providence, which has never made you lack the means for your daily needs”. This choice guarantees Radio Maria total freedom from any interference and conditioning. For this reason, the temptation to resort to short cuts in difficult moments must always give way to full trust in Divine Providence. The extraordinary diffusion of Radio Maria across the five continents has been possible thanks to the sacrifices of listeners and volunteers, motivated by their love for Mary:

n recent years we have produced a document which specifies the identity of Radio Maria and its service in the Church, “to reflect on what could be called ‘the charisma of Radio Maria’”, according to the invitation of Pope Francis at the historic meeting of 29 October 2015. This supreme recognition by the Pope urges us to better embody the essential traits of Radio Maria’s identity “offering a service appreciated in the local Church and also important for the civil community”.

I would like to remind you again, recalling the

— Message of the new WFRM president —

On the front lines on the pathways of mercy Carrying out the mission of the “Church with open doors,” Radio Maria gives peace in places of suffering and conflict, crossing the boundaries of digital networks and new technologies; a global challenge animated by a constant attention to the human person.

VITTORIO VICCARDI WFRM PRESIDENT

S

ince its foundation in 1998, the important task of the Radio Maria World Family has been to respond to the many calls for volunteers from the Church and civil society all over the world, to help “spread” a Christian way of communication inspired by the experience of Radio Maria in Italy, which was established more than ten years ago (1987). The constitution of over 70 civil associations in as many countries, in close collaboration with the local Church, has generated this miracle of volunteers and listeners which now consists of more than 25,000 volunteers and at least 30 million listeners per day* through around 1,600 remote control radio frequency

repeaters and millions of users who discuss and appreciate the programmes of the various Radio Maria stations on social networks. Therefore, the World Family of Radio Maria is a living, dynamic heritage, as Pope Francis underlined at the private audience of 29 October 2015 in the presence of the Presidents and Directors of all the Radio Maria stations, and is called upon to interpret the considerable changes in methods of communication by remaining faithful to itself and to the values of its model.

CONCLUSIONS In recent years the message of Radio Maria has taken on an important role in pacifying numerous critical situations of ethnic and cultural conflict.

In developing our projects we must be close to the Christian communities in the Middle East suffering persecution and to the distant Churches in Asia and Africa by providing the assistance necessary for their voices to be heard and so that they can receive the consolation of the message of the Gospel every day in their traditions and liturgies, in order to be able to be an instrument of peace and brotherhood for their countries. © 2016 - REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED

“I think that the Catholic media in particular have a great commitment, a great mission and a great responsibility. It is important that these media be at the service of truth, inner consciousness and true hope, that they be a wellspring of joy for people.

Mother Teresa often said that there are many people who turn the lights off. This is why someone needs to turn them on.

— Evangelizing alongside the Holy Father —

On the footsteps of Peter Since the beginning of its mission, Radio Maria was entrusted to the guidance of the Successor of Peter. It responded the call of St. John Paul II and supported the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI and now of Pope Francis. A bond of obedience, fidelity and communion exists.

FATHER FRANCISCO PALACIOS WFRM EDITORIAL ACTIVITY MANAGER

A

mong the fruits of the Second Vatican Council, the Conciliar Decree Inter Mirifica recognizes the charismatic dimension of the mass media, useful for spreading the Good News. Moreover, this document provides for the celebration of the World Day of Social Communications every year during the Sunday of the Ascension. Thus, since 1967, the Pope has always prepared a message on the different aspects of social communication.

In 1987, 20 years later, the Radio Maria Association was founded, thanks to the maternal presence of the Virgin Mary in the Church and to the renewed impetus that Pope John Paul II gave to evangelization through the media. In this inseparable bond with the Mother of Jesus,

the Successor of Peter and the Magisterium of the Church, the Radio Maria project has grown in the world to the point that, in 1998, it was necessary to create the World Family of Radio Maria Association, which now includes more than 75 associations in the five continents.

The World Family, as part of this journey, organizes a World Congress every three years.

One of the highlights is the pilgrimage to Rome to meet the Pope, in order to express filial obedience and receive his blessing. In 2003, with John Paul II, then under the pontificate of Benedict XVI and now with Pope Francis, we have always received words of great encouragement. The Holy Father has told us that “we are on the right road” in proclaiming the Good News through the most widespread Catholic radio network in the world.

Radio Maria ever since it began broadcasting has made itself available for the intense

WORLD FAMILY OF RADIO MARIA ON THE FOOTSTEPS OF PETER

missionary activity carried out by the Church over the last three decades, thus becoming a bridge for the teachings of the Pope to reach millions of listeners throughout the world. The listeners, thanks to Radio Maria, can receive not only the news of the various activities of the Successor of Peter, but can also participate in the masses he celebrates and the meetings he holds, for example during Apostolic Journeys.

Thus, on each occasion building an increasingly strong and direct relationship between the public and the Holy Father. Radio Maria has, over time, become increasingly close to the Pontiff. This tie facilitated the organization of the private audience with Pope Francis last year and at the same time allows one of our directors to accompany the Holy Father on some of his Apostolic Journeys.

2016: the Jubilee of Mercy A glorious Holy Door is wide open to Catholics worldwide. And it will be for all of 2016, on the occasion of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. This act of free will, the result of encountering God, is the basis of our faith and will be the thread that binds the faithful of the world for the entire 2016, so that everyone can encounter the Lord. More than ever in this Holy Year each Radio Maria in all five continents is called upon to put itself at the service of the Church in order to reach the heart of every man and woman, to kindle or rekindle the flame of faith.

There will be numerous appointments during the year to mark the passing of the months so that everyone can aspire to be as “Merciful as the Father”. Last but not the least, we will be involved in the “Marian Jubilee”

15

planned for the 8th and 9th of October.

Pope Francis in the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee Year states that: “The Church has the mission to announce the Mercy of God, the beating heart of the Gospel, that through him must reach the heart and mind of every person [...] His language and his gestures must transmit mercy so as to touch the hearts of all people and inspire them to find the road that leads to the Father.” (Misericordiae Vultus, 12).

Pope Francis and Radio Maria: a historic day The private audience with the Holy Father on 29 October 2015 was a very emotional moment for Radio Maria worldwide. The indications and advice provided by Pope Francis were sources of pure inspiration for our evangelizing mission.

FATHER JAVIER SOTERAS RM ARGENTINA DIRECTOR

T

he 29th of October 2015 will always be part of Radio Maria’s history, the day on which the Successor of Peter, for the first time, received in private audience the World Family of Radio Maria, spread over the five continents.

Clementine Hall was filled with an authentic “Marian familiarity”, the spirit which identifies our common mission to evangelize peoples through the “voice” and style of Mary. This is

what Pope Francis transmitted in his long-awaited official speech.

The Pope, when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires, already knew of our radio through RM Argentina and now, with a wider and more universal perspective, he presented us with a clear picture of the natural mission of our radio.

His Holiness underlined the distinguishing feature of the World Family of Radio Maria, its spirit of communion and service to the Catholic Church: “Radio Maria, ever since its foundation, has had the objective of helping the Church in its evangelization work. And to do so in its own unique way, that is, by being close to people’s worries and problems with words

of consolation and hope, the fruit of faith and commitment to solidarity.”

The Pope highlights the pastoral style of Radio Maria. Francis recognizes it as an instrument forged on an incarnate spirituality or, better still, using his own words, “as a radio that has the smell of sheep.”

Pope Francis showed his in-depth knowledge of Radio Maria worldwide, describing the characteristics that define its style: “In carrying your intention forward, you have trusted Providence, which has never made you lack the means for your daily needs: for the modernization of technologies, in order to have the instruments in step with the times, and for the development

FATHER JAVIER SOTERAS

of the Radio, first in Italy and then in many countries of the world.”

His Holiness continued, almost illustrating the work method of Radio Maria, the ongoing mission of evangelization through our stations and the courage to present the high quality content of the schedule in a clear way, always giving priority to prayer and to those who encounter the Good News for the first time.

Lastly, the Pope mentioned the origin of hope that the world expects from our announcement, “always keep present that you give something great and unique: Christian hope, which is much more than simple spiritual consolation, because it is founded on the power of the Resurrection, witnessed with faith and works of charity.” © 2016 - REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED

The educational challenge that saves lives

Radio Maria represents for many people an essential vehicle of literacy and education, which becomes decisive in dramatic circumstances.

Experiences in Sierra Leone and in Tanzania testify to this.

FATHER ALOYSIUS KAMARA RM SIERRA LEONE DIRECTOR

R

adio Maria’s evangelizing mission aims to save the whole person, by shining the light of the Gospel on every area of human life. Among the programmes on the human condition and social situation in the schedules of every Radio Maria, issues relating to education and training are of particular importance in Africa where our station becomes a real school for the local population, even in the most dramatic of situations, as demonstrated in the case of Sierra Leone, where the consequences of the Ebola virus are still evident.

Radio Maria faced the epidemic with widespread awareness raising and was active long before any governmental and non-governmental body, providing alternative means of education on the radio for children, who out of fear of contracting the virus, stayed at home for over a year. With the help of Catholic teachers, who voluntarily offered their time, we started broadcasting lessons in various subjects for pupils from primary to secondary level. This service left us with a legacy of many volunteers and has also increased the number of families who listen to the radio together.

24

WORLD FAMILY OF RADIO MARIA THE EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGE THAT SAVES LIVES

The importance of Radio Maria as a vehicle for educating listeners also emerges from the testimony of another African radio. Father John Maendeleo, director of Radio Maria Tanzania, highlights the variety of programmes not only as regards the subjects, but also the variety of languages required to speak to the whole population: “In recent years we have transmitted educational programmes in Kiswahili, which is a widely used language in Tanzania. For the near future we have many projects to help especially the more marginalized listeners, without forgetting those at risk of diseases such as AIDS

and malaria.” A clear example of how Radio Maria can also educate in favour of a change in mentality can be seen in the practice of female circumcision, widespread among many tribes: “Thanks to the Radio Maria educational programmes – continues Father John – we have touched the hearts of people and many lives have been redeemed.” The experience of Radio Maria in Tanzania and in Sierra Leone, is testimony that even through education, our listeners experience “the truth will set you free” (Jn 8, 32). © 2016 - REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED

Radio Maria World Congress: the joy of being a growing family

From the 25th to the 30th of October 2015 the Sixth World Congress of the large Radio Maria Family was held in Collevalenza (Perugia, Italy). It was an amazing time both for young people and for veteran collaborators who participated in the event.

RAFFAELE GALATI WFRM COMMUNICATION & HR OFFICER

A

fter 15 years of service at Radio Maria and after having addressed many world congresses, it comes naturally to ask the question: “What did you get from this congress?”. Naturally, everyone responds in different ways based on personal expectations and experiences. The private audience in the Vatican’s Clementine Hall enriched this experience, rendering it a fundamental step in Radio Maria’s development.

Even after many years the amazement and ex-

citement have not changed. I would say that it has been intensified by the growing awareness and maturity of the delegates, the intensity of the working days, and the spirituality and prayer that unite and strengthen us.

An element common to all those who were at Collevalenza was the joy of living a sincere communion with and complete adhesion to the project desired by the Holy Virgin, which

has now spread to five continents and is constantly growing. Over 200 delegates from 80 countries, cultures and languages gather in the name of Mary and of Her project. What progress has been made from that small Erba parish, near Como, and from that first “home made” radio!

Father John Tino, director of RM USA, participated for the first time in our congress: “Given that it was my first congress I was struck by the close communion, in particular between the directors and presidents when praying, sharing experiences and ideas and with the feedback on presentations on

daily content. It is evident that Pope Francis has confirmed this communion for Radio Maria’s mission.”

Peter Sonneborn, a collaborator of RM Germany who organized some of the programmes and the technical area said: “I brought home in my heart the sense of being a real large family, united in prayer, spirituality and mutual assistance. A family in which God, Our Lady and St Joseph operate in incredible ways.”

In Africa, the continent where the Radio Maria project is expanding the most, the feelings are similar. For many it was also an occasion to visit Rome, the centre of Christianity in

— Radio Mariam: voice and hope for the entire Middle East —

The first Radio Maria in Arabic has been established

Radio Mariam was founded in order to give Arab Christians a voice and to support evangelization in the countries of the Middle East. A courageous challenge in a delicate moment of precarious equilibrium in which it is by no means easy for Christians to testify to their faith.

FATHER GEORGES SALLOUM RADIO MARIAM DIRECTOR

R

adio Mariam broadcasts began with the opening of the Jubilee of Mercy. It is not a simple coincidence but rather a significant expression of Radio Mariam’s objective and mission. It is a sign of the Mercy of God in the heart of all Arabic speaking people.

In this time marked by crisis, war, death, immigration and persecution of Christians in the Middle East, the World Family of Radio Maria wanted to express solidarity with Arabic speaking Christians. Radio Mariam is a sign of hope in the via crucis of these Christians, and as the Lord wants to say to all: “Fear not […] I am with you always, even unto the end of the

29

world” (Mt 28, 10.20). This station will bring to the fore the situation of Christians in the East, their culture and the multifaceted religious heritage of the different Churches to which they belong.

Certainly Radio Mariam is not the only media addressed to Christians in Arabic, but its specific approach makes it an initiative of the Western Church for the faithful of the Eastern Churches. There have been precedents, such as the insertion of Arabic at the general audiences under the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI.

“Fear not […] I am with you always, even unto the end of the world”

(Mt 28, 10.20)

30

WORLD FAMILY OF RADIO MARIA THE FIRST RADIO MARIA IN ARABIC HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED

This fact in itself shows the importance of Eastern Christianity for the entire Christian world, because on our Earth Christ was born and in the Earth the Church began.

For a long time, the West has looked upon the Arab world as if it were exclusively Islamic. Today the Church reminds us that in this world there are Christians too, who bear wit-

ness to their faith in spite of all the difficulties they are experiencing. An important presence for Eastern Christians and for Christianity as a whole. Thus within the Radio Maria Family there was a desire, also thanks to the teachings of the Holy Father Francis, to create Radio Mariam as a voice for evangelization, culture and dialogue to be transmitted in Arabic to the hearts of listeners.

The embrace of a father for the youth of the world

All recent Popes have given particular attention to young people. Starting with John Paul II and the creation of WYD, then Benedict XVI and Pope Francis and the crowds of young people manifesting joy in their faith.

BERNHARD MITTERRUTZNER WFRM EUROPEAN CONTINENTAL REPRESENTATIVE

E

very Pope is a gift that the Holy Spirit makes to His Church in order to transmit a particular message in a particular historical moment. With the great St John Paul II the Lord encouraged the Church to not be afraid and to go out into the world, finding nourishment in Jesus through the Eucharist and sheltering under Mary’s cloak in order to meet the challenges of our time. With John Paul II a special relationship between the Successor of Peter and young people also began.

Pope Benedict XVI was a gift of wisdom to deepen the beauty of living our faith in Jesus. A message that is valid for young people too! With Pope Francis we are embraced by the mercy and tenderness of God: the face of a Father who loves all his children. This is a message that is compelling

33

for many young people throughout the world.

Perhaps because never before in history our generation has suffered the wound of the absence of a father. First because of the terrible wars when many fathers did not return home and now with the increasingly absentee fathers due to divorce and separation, without taking into consideration the confusion caused by gender ideologies.

The face of the Father in the Holy Father attracts many young people because they see characteristics which are rare in their world, the mercy, forgiveness and love that Pope Francis wants to bring to everyone’s everyday life, on Facebook and Twitter, on the streets and in homes, prisons and hospitals. Wherever Pope Francis goes he

Radio Maria and “cyberspace” communication Every Radio Maria from the day of its inauguration tries to take on the teachings of the Gospel of Matthew: “Go and make disciples of all peoples” (Mt 28.19). Increasingly in recent years there has been a need to reach another group of people, the inhabitants of “cyberspace”. Therefore, using the internet as an extraordinary and spontaneous amplifier for the microphone in front of every presenter. However, it was soon clear that publishing content on the website was not enough to reach the faithful. It was necessary to be present on social platforms where there are people every hour of the day and night who perhaps expect a word of comfort or answers to serious questions about their existence. For this reason, it is not an exaggeration today to speak of a veritable “digital continent” given the large numbers present in this virtual world. It is a new challenge for every Radio Maria. How to make the best use of social networks. What to offer visitors. And, in particular, how to do this. Obviously there is no magic recipe. Each station will try to offer the best for their followers, try to engage them more by posting messages. The distinctive features of every programme broadcast by any Radio Maria in the world are adapted for the social networks. We are all called to be active participants of this story: the presenter and the public, the priest and the faithful. Moreover, the Church, which is always alert to and foresight regarding new technologies, understood their great potential immediately. If one rereads to-

day St John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter of 2005 it sounds like a prophecy: “The media provide a providential opportunity to reach people everywhere, overcoming barriers of time, of space and of language, presenting the content of faith in the most varied ways.” (Rapid Development 5).

That time Facebook had only been in existence for a few months and Twitter did not even exist. A few years later, in 2011, with Pope Benedict this new unexplored “continent” took off. A journey that is still at the beginning and that never ceases to amaze for its cultural, symbolic and metaphoric significance, all of which can be used to help the Church speak to contemporary men and women about the Kingdom of God.
