The Pope sends, through Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, a message of greeting for the opening of the 76th National Liturgical Week, held in Catania from August 24 to 27 on the theme "A Church that generates. Liturgy and Christian Initiation." The text, addressed to Archbishop Claudio Maniago of Catanzaro-Squillace, president of the Centre for Liturgical Action, underlines the importance of the theme for the life of the Church today and proposes three attitudes for liturgy to be a generative space for Christian initiation: welcome, mystagogy and witness of life. The Cardinal closes by conveying the Pope's apostolic blessing to the archdiocese of Catania, to the bishops, priests, deacons, consecrated persons, speakers and all participants in the Week.
