(Vatican Radio) This week sees the first anniversary of an agreement between the European Union and Turkey which aimed to stem the flow of migrants and refugees seeking protection in Europe.One year on, the controversial deal is strongly criticized by humanitarian agencies who say it has left thousands of vulnerable people stranded in degrading conditions in Greece, while forcing others to take dangerous alternative routes as they seek protection in the EU.Under the terms of the agreement, Ankara agreed to stop asylum seekers from crossing by sea to the Greek islands in return for three billion euros in aid to deal with the three million Syrian refugees who are living on Turkish soil.Syrian refugees who had reached the Greek islands were to be returned to Turkey, while Syrian asylum seekers in Turkey were to be resettled in the EU.

As the Catholic Charismatic Renewal celebrates 50 years of existence and transformation, Zimbabwe’s National Coordinator, Dr Dorothy Chirimumimba has said the movement is all about real conversion and evangelisation.The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR), established in 1967, is an ecclesial movement within the Catholic Church that emphasises the availability of the power and the many gifts of the Holy Spirit and one’s personal relationship with Christ.CCR can be traced back to 1967 when groups of Methodist and Catholic students in the United States went on retreats (separately) and experienced the manifestation of gifts of the Holy Spirit. It happened when they prayed for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.The students experienced the presence and power of God working in a new and deeper way in their lives. This experience of God, which they described as being “baptised in the Spirit,” drew them into a far deeper spiritual life than ever before.Inspired by ...
Dublin, Ireland, Mar 17, 2017 / 06:11 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Prayer, reparation and praising God are the focus of a new Benedictine priory in Ireland, which focuses especially on reparation for the sins of priests.“It was never our predetermined plan to come to Ireland,” Silverstream Priory’s Father Benedict Anderson, O.S.B., told CNA. “But we believe that, through circumstances that we could never have foreseen, Divine Providence placed us here to play some sort of role, however modest, in the life of the Irish Church.”Silverstream Priory is the home of the Benedictine Monks of Perpetual Adoration of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.The priory is a former residence of the Visitation Sisters in Stamullen, a village about 22 miles north of Dublin. It is believed to be the first monastery established in Ireland’s County Meath since King Henry VIII suppressed them.“The Reformation, which was ruthlessly enforced in Ireland, dealt a near fatal ...
