Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Giuseppe Gennarini, a former
journalist who has been working since 1975 in the U.S. introducing the
“Neo-Catechumenal Way,” an itinerary of faith within the Catholic Church
that seeks renewal by working at the grass roots
level in thousands of parishes throughout the world. The
Neo-Catechumenal Way works to strengthen the relationship between
Christian and Jews and to help Catholics rediscover the Jewish roots of
their faith. There are an estimated 30,000 such communities throughout
the World, with roughly one million and a half members.Gennarini has recently helped organize a concert at the Lincoln
Center titled “The Suffering of the Innocents, A Symphonic Homage and
Prayer.” It will be performed on May 6th
in the Boston Symphony Hall, on May 8th in Avery Fisher Hall-Lincoln Center in New York City
and on May 14 in Chicago Orchestra Hall. The will be also a
performance in a Synagogue in Teaneck with a scaled down version of the
concert to give opportunity to other Jewish people to attend. For more
information on all of these performances and
how to attend, click here.The Symphony was composed by Kiko Argüello, the initiator of the
Neo-Catechumenal Way, as homage to all innocent victims and especially
those of the
Shoah. It is not only a beautiful musical performance, but also
an event of meditation and friendship between Jews and Christians. It
was performed for the first time in January of last year in the Vatican
before Pope Benedict XVI, then in Galilee,
Paris, Madrid, Düsseldorf and finally, in December of last year, in
Jerusalem, at the Gerard Bechar Theater. It is now coming to New York,
Chicago and Boston and being welcomed with enthusiasm by many Cardinals,
Bishops, Rabbis and prominent leaders in the
Jewish world.
