Gallaghar: On fragility, the Pope still serves the church and humanity

Benedita Capli – Vatikan Sidad

Corali’s prayer for Pope Francis is that “in this moment of fragility, it does not definitely serve less effective, even otherwise, for the Church and Humanity.” The words of Monsignor Paul Richard Gallagher, Secretary of Relations with Countries and International Organizations, resonated with the Church of Rome, the “House” of the Jesuit, to which the Pope belongs. In the Mass held for the health of the Pope, the head of the bishops said that the Pope “appreciates proximity and prayer, especially recently, rises to heaven abundantly by his comprehensive service and to appoint his health.”

The threat of evil

The preacher of the bishops revolves around divine love that “flows continuously” from God “by transferring Jesus” and asks that the return be. Love “with our misery, with our sins and assumes the significance of” mercy. “This love that leads to a good path. death.

Also on our day, the threat of evil becomes increasingly consistent and it seems that darkness sometimes prevails over the same light: we see this sadly with the war in the tormented Ukraine, in Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and elsewhere.

The world presents the risk of confronting the strain

Also, a new birth leads to the path of meeting, but the obstacles do not lack them. “There are those who fed, unfortunately, are constantly feeding,” the secretary of relations with the states – the culture of death, “embraces” the harmful logic of hatred, confusion, and thus, war, at all levels. Thus, the world becomes a theater to confront races, civilizations, cultures and religions.

Diplomacy in the service of public good

Instead, Christians are called to spread the values ​​of love, justice and peace. Gallaghar said: “Blessed are times and places, where we sit around the same table and trust in the power of reason and consciousness, with the value that is indescribable to the dignity of man!”

When what is required in our days is a diplomacy separate from the miserable human interests to work freely for the public good, and to cooperate together to ensure the higher commodities of justice and peace for all.

Selfish cage

The head of the bishops remember several times, and urges us to adopt the logic of the meeting, because the human being is made of open and altruistic relationships. Likewise, the director church, which was raised by Francisco, is made of men who look at others, who are interested in serving the public good. Selfishness, in fact, closed, a cage that prevents it from being a “blessing” for everyone.

There is a big difference between those who contribute to the lives of others, hold their hands, and those who contribute to death, and deprive others of the help they need in order to survive.

Prayer and voice of consciousness

Finally, remember Mons. “It is precisely in prayer, and it is also made of silence, where we must learn to listen to the voice of consciousness, and it is not an arbitrary judgment, but rather the voice of the Lord who resonates in the haven of the mind and the inner heart.”

Those who fought for human dignity, who fought dictatorships, tyranny and injustice, although they did not always share Christian faith or religious belief, did this in the name of consciousness, while realizing this superior voice that shows the right path.

The Secretary’s call to relations with countries went to benefit from the time of silence “to issue silence and enter this inner resort to consciousness”, where we entrusted Virgen Del Silencio, which we also entrust the health of the Pope and the Peace of the World.
