W. Washington 5, D. C. Address given by Pope Paul VI at the Italian JSational Eucharistic Congress at Pisa^ Italy June 10, 1965 M[y lord cardinals, among them our cardinal legate, the archbishop of Florence; venerable brothers, among them the revered and beloved archbishop of this ancient and illustrious Pisan See; ec- clesiastic, civil, academic and military authorities, among them my lord the president of the council of ministers of Italy and those who represent here the Italian government as well as the town of Pisa; all the faithful of Pisa, Rome and Italy who have gathered here for the celebration of this 17th National Eucharistic Congress, we greet you all and we bless you with gratitude, knowing that you have come here to join your homage to ours to the august mystery of Christ present in the Eucharist, we greet you in the joy of being able to meet you, to pray with you, to prophesy new spiritual for- tunes for this privileged land where history, art and culture have merged with faith for centuries and have expressed themselves in monuments of incomparable beauty and wisdom. Think of the analogy between the word and its identical and multiplied resonance in those who listen to it; of evangelical references—think of the speeches of Chirst at Capharnaum and at the Last Supper; of liturgical derivation—the Mass first of all; of devotional applications—think of the silent and wonderful mystery of the innumerable tabernacles which spangle the face of the earth with lights visible only to angels, saints and believers; of spiritual fruitfulness—think of the liturgical fullness of the assemblies of the faithful around the altar, and of the personal conversations which individual souls, nourished by Christ or enraptured by faith or charity, in adoration and prayer entertain with the Divine Presence. cache/_005195250.txt txt/_005195250.txt
