Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

Shroud of Turin Exposed for Veneration

The 2010 Shroud Exhibition

The Shroud of Turin is being exposed for public veneration from 10 April 2010 to 23 May 2010. Pope Benedict XVI is scheduled for a trip to Turin to venerate the shroud on May 2.

The Holy Father, after praying the midday Regina Caeli with crowds that had gathered at the Apostolic Palace in Castel Gandolfo on 11 April, said that he hopes that veneration of the Shroud of Turin will help people to seek the Face of God.

"I rejoice for this event, which once again is encouraging a large movement of pilgrims as well as studies, reflections and above all an extraordinary recollection of the mystery of Christ's suffering," he said. "I hope that this act of veneration will help all to seek the Face of God, which was the intimate aspiration of the Apostles and is [also] our own."
