A lesson of excellence for the new Franciscan generation at the Custody of the Holy Land to talk about faith and communication in the twenty-first century. Don Paolo Padrini, an expert in web communication as well as the creator of the successful Iphone application “Ibreviary”, met the seminarians of the Custody of the Holy Land to present the new applications that will be produced in collaboration with ATS pro Terra Sancta and the Custody and which will soon be available for millions of users of mobile supports all over the world. He was also there to explain the importance of wisely using the new means of communication to come into contact with an increasingly large number of people.
Pope Benedict XVI said on the 44th Day of Social Communications: “Responding adequately (…) amid today’s cultural shifts, to which young people are especially sensitive, necessarily involves using new communications technologies. The world of digital communication, with its almost limitless expressive capacity, makes us appreciate all the more Saint Paul’s exclamation: “Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel” (1 Cor 9:16) The increased availability of the new technologies demands greater responsibility on the part of those called to proclaim the Word, but it also requires them to become more focused, efficient and compelling in their efforts. Priests stand at the threshold of a new era: as new technologies create deeper forms of relationship across greater distances, they are called to respond pastorally by putting the media ever more effectively at the service of the Word.”
