COME ANDE SEE - VES Y LO VERAS - VIENS ET VOIS - - KOMM UND SIEH

"Come and See":

 theme for World Day of Communications

The theme for the 2021 World Day of Social Communications chosen by Pope Francis echo the words of the Apostle Philip, so as to recall that communication consists in "encountering people as and where they are".

By Vatican News

The theme for the 55th World Day of Social Communications, to be held in May 2021 was released on Tuesday. 

 The words “Come and see” are central to the Gospel. Before the Gospel is proclaimed, prior to words, there are "looks, testimonies, experiences, encounters and closeness. In a word, life."

These words, from the Gospel of John (1, 43-46) were chosen by Pope Francis, with the subtitle “Communicating, encountering people as and where they are”.

Here is the full Gospel passage: “The next day, after Jesus had decided to leave for Galilee, He met Philip and said, ‘Follow me’. Philip came from the same town, Bethsaida, as Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth’. Nathanael said to him, ‘From Nazareth? Can anything good come from that place?’ Philip replied, ‘Come and see’”.

A message accompanying the theme's announcement states: "In the epochal change we are experiencing, in a time that obliges us to social distance due to the pandemic, communication can enable the closeness that is necessary to recognise what is essential, and to truly understand the meaning of things. "We do not know the truth if we do not experience it, if we do not meet people, if we do not participate in their joys and sorrows. The old saying “God meets you where you are” can be a guide for those engaged in media or communications work in the Church. In the call of the first disciples, with Jesus who went to encounter them and to invite them to follow Him, we also see the invitation to use all media, in all their forms, to reach people as they are and where they live."

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE 51st WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY

........ I would like  to contribute to the search for an open and creative style of communication that never seeks to glamourize evil but instead to concentrate on solutions and to inspire a positive and responsible approach on the part of its recipients. I ask everyone to offer the people of our time storylines that are at heart “good news”....... 

 ......  Quisiera contribuir a la búsqueda de un estilo comunicativo abierto y creativo, que no dé todo el protagonismo al mal, sino que trate de mostrar las posibles soluciones, favoreciendo una actitud activa y responsable en las personas a las cuales va dirigida la noticia. Invito a todos a ofrecer a los hombres y a las mujeres de nuestro tiempo narraciones marcadas por la lógica de la «buena noticia»...........

.......... Je voudrais  apporter une contribution à la recherche d'un style ouvert et créatif de communication qui ne soit jamais disposé à accorder au mal un premier rôle, mais qui cherche à mettre en lumière les solutions possibles, inspirant une approche active et responsable aux personnes auxquelles l’information est communiquée. Je voudrais inviter à offrir aux hommes et aux femmes de notre temps des récits marqués par la logique de la "bonne nouvelle".......

...... Deswegen möchte ich einen Beitrag leisten zur Suche nach einem offenen und kreativen Kommunikationsstil, der niemals bereit ist, dem Bösen eine Hauptrolle zuzugestehen, sondern versucht, die möglichen Lösungen aufzuzeigen und so die Menschen, denen die Nachricht übermittelt wird, zu einer konstruktiven und verantwortungsvollen Herangehensweise anzuregen. Ich möchte alle dazu einladen, den Frauen und Männern unserer Zeit Berichte anzubieten, die von der Logik der „guten Nachricht“ geprägt sind. ......

 .....  Vorrei  offrire un contributo alla ricerca di uno stile comunicativo aperto e creativo, che non sia mai disposto a concedere al male un ruolo da protagonista, ma cerchi di mettere in luce le possibili soluzioni, ispirando un approccio propositivo e responsabile nelle persone a cui si comunica la notizia. Vorrei invitare tutti a offrire agli uomini e alle donne del nostro tempo narrazioni contrassegnate dalla logica della “buona notizia”.......
