Jesuits remember Pope Francis: the man of God

Antonella Paliermo – Vatican City

The “grateful memory” for the first time Ponset Jesuit, his relationships with the company founded by Ignacio de Liola and the legacy of Francisco for his brothers, the characteristics that described the government of Khalifa Peter and the Apostolic Priorities in which the Church calls for a commitment in the future. These are the topics that the group’s general addresses, Father Arturo Sousa S. This morning, April 24, at General Korea in Borgos Santo Spereto, two steps from the Vatican Bazilica, where the River of the Believers lasts last to the end to present the last respect of the mold’s body.

The man of God who knew that not everyone loves.

“Every foreign region is our homeland, however, every country is a foreign land for us (…) open our eyes and hearts until every meeting with the needy becomes a meeting with Jesus.” The last prayer, the Secretary -General of the Association of Jesus, Father Antoine Kirawell S. read it. Pope Francis’s message for 110 days of migrants and refugees 2024, The meeting was opened with journalists. In his introduction, before the dialogue with the international press, the Venezuelan general wanted to shed light on Francisco as the “true man” of God “did not seek to satisfy everyone, or measure his performance based on a popular indicator. The complexity of reality, scrutiny of the signs of the times, and in prayer, with knowledge of their Lord, distinguishing what is better for every moment.

The flavor chooses the successor of Pedro, not Francisco

Soussa, who previously made it clear that he would comment on his back in the future only after the elections, wanted to stress that “the flavor meets to choose the successor of Peter, not the successor of Francisco.” He added: “All the Pope is chosen to wear the Sayyad sandal.” The vote of obedience to the Pope, the privacy of the Jesuits will continue from the beginning, undoubtedly and any chosen form. “We are looking for a man from God. We will put ourselves in his service,” he answered the first question about the attributes that should be with the back. And he insisted on a characteristic, according to him, it must have someone who is called to direct the Church: “To have a global vision, which does not mean an international vision.” He explained that it is not a matter of a multinational approach for companies, but rather a perspective that aims to identify differences, including religious experiences, in the world. Because “the differences are not barriers, but a wealth.” He highlighted its importance “in a world where the world is in danger.”

Fix the door in the line already referred to by the second Vatican

Father Soussa, who remembers how Francisco got to know his borders without problems. I had a gift of listening and frankness. He was a person who could disagree with him. The dialogue can be, so that the decisions were ultimately as a result of listening. Ignatian teacher has made many decisions throughout the time of listening to the soul through people. The meaning of the reformer, according to Father Soussa, must be considered in the context of the reform range referred to by the second Vatican Council, which was taken seriously. The operations began knowing that he would not see the full results. Certainly, Soussa noticed that the church has also advanced on the issue of preventing abuse, for example, from the moment the Pope is chosen, bearing in mind that the road is not measured in a straight line, but always has some tracking tools. Hope is the perseverance in the direction of the evaluation of secularists and women. Once again, the role of discrimination was explored, so centralization in the life of the Pope, which was the life of prayer. If not, the discrimination will be in vain. Sometimes we see that the Pope was for surprises. I think he also lived unexpected positions, and allowed him to distinguish with important decisions. We saw this in the cinematic process.

Jesus called for the root in its attractiveness

There was space for more than one story that Soussa told the return to this choice that developed while he was in Venezuela. He thought: “Will the name Francisco be honored by the tongue of Francisco Javier, Awa San Francisco de Burga, also Jesuit …”. The reference to ASCIS is somewhat worrying, but it has already confirmed that the global vision that exceeded the prospects for the arrangement to which he belongs. The association with the Jesuit has always been so strong, to the extent that on every Royal journey, there was a timely meeting with the Jesuit community in the countries that were visited. The Pope has never hidden his Jesuit identity, but “this does not mean belonging to” race “, it is just a means of belonging to the church, as the general explains,” in short, it is not a sectarian advantage. “I think that the company was interrogated more after the death of the Pope, and called for it to be deeply rooted in its attractiveness, and more society, in its essence,” meaning that it is always called to appear and everywhere the face of God, because otherwise, the actions of the Messenger serve less. Some journalists ventured by asking about the possibility of the Pope’s sanctification process. Soussa is very cautious, a reliable time and maturity of popular dedication that represents an “important element” in this field.

He insists on the priority of peace

Father Soussa was also asked, in light of the missionary road in China that the Jesuits started with Matteo Richie and the comrades, yes, in his opinion, the Apostolic Chair with the People’s Republic of China can be approved: “I hope yes. The Pope adhered to this. Today in China we have a church capable of attending daily life. Very small, but alive. ” According to Soussa, with “wisdom and wisdom of the times”, we will continue to progress. How Pontificate of Jorge Mario Bergoglio comes out of this regarding Francisco positions that some observers consider warm – as for example in the context of Nicaragua or Venezuela – it is another question directed to possible mistakes or the forehead that the question is “no” or does not give media to Francisco but he learns before. It is not a matter of “providing or directing it with your finger”, but also learning to look at the future. Baz, Baz, Baz. Father Soussa repeated this three times to the Burmese journalist who asked what is the most urgent inheritance that should have been put into implementation today. “The world needs peace, we must build it.”
