Abstract

The presentation of the theme The life, the media and the sacrum in the messages of the pope Benedict XVI is based on the pontifical messages for the World Communications Day. In the first part it is shown how the human life is understood as linked to multiple, as Benedict XVI defined, contexts. Then it is presented the relationship of mutual helping each other between two selected contexts of life which are sacrum and communication. The last part presents, according to the Pope, the media as a favorable environment for the human spiritual life.
