Rome, 30 May 2020
\nFeast of Mary, Queen of Apostles<\/p>\n

Dear Sisters and Brothers, members of our Aggregated Institutes and Pauline Cooperators:<\/p>\n

On this day that unites all of us around Mary Most Holy, our Mother, Teacher and Queen of Apostles, we want to make public the Prayer and Logo that the Central Biblical Commission has prepared for the Pauline Family\u2019s Year of the Bible, which will open on 26 November, the 49th anniversary of the eternal Easter of Blessed James Alberione, our Founder.<\/p>\n

We entrust to Mary, Queen of Apostles, the life and apostolate of the Pauline Family during this Year for which we are preparing. May she, who was first a disciple by welcoming the Word of God into her womb, and then a mother by giving birth to that Word in Jesus of Nazareth, guide our steps so that the Word of the Lord might speed forward in us and around us, in the culture of communication.<\/p>\n

In this light, renewing the apostolic vision of Fr. Alberione, let us penetrate more profoundly the words he addressed to us, because they are still very up to date: \u201cBy \u2018edition,\u2019 we do not mean only a book. Other things are included in the term, which has many applications: the edition of a periodical, the editions of those who prepare film scripts, television programs, things to be communicated by radio\u2026. \u2018Edidit nobis Salvatorem,\u2019 says the Liturgy, using the verb \u2018edidit\u2019 to declare that the Blessed Virgin gave us the Savior. The word \u2018edition\u2019 also includes the artistic dimension: the effort to produce an object that is liturgical and at the same time artistic, as well as the mission of the Sisters who are trained to teach the catechism to children and then, in charity, concretely do this (For a Spiritual Renewal).<\/p>\n

With best wishes for a fruitful journey of preparation for the upcoming Year, we send you our greetings.<\/p>\n

Logo<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tThe logo is inspired by two biblical images: the sower (Lk. 8:4-15) and the runner (1 Co. 9:24).<\/p>\n

Both biblical references indicate an action to be carried out with a sense of responsibility and urgency. The sower must sow in such a way as to expect an abundant harvest in due time. The runner, after sufficient preparation, must win the race. The combination of these two references brings us to the theme of the Pauline Family\u2019s Year of the Bible: \u201cthat the Word of the Lord may speed forward\u201d<\/strong><\/em> (2 Thes. 3:1).<\/p>\n

So as to avoid bewildering the observer, the logo employs simple shapes and colors. The sower, depicted as leaning forward, tosses into the air 10 seeds symbolizing the 10 branches of the Pauline Family. The different sizes of the seeds and the different directions in which they move indicate the different services of the various branches of the PF and the different spheres of society in which they have been called to root themselves. Red, on the other hand, is the universal color of zeal and passion. The color of blood, it motivates us to fix our gaze on an urgent goal: that the Word of the Lord might be disseminated far and wide.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
