P. Herrera: Let’s be a display of others, and it carries the cross

Sebastian Samson Ferrari – Vatican City

During the weekly program “Study 9”, two days after Palm Sunday, Father Felipe Herrera, General Editor of Vatikana Radio – Vatican News, was invited to live in the 2025 sacred week with Hondura and consciousness, especially in the framework of Jubileo de la Esperanza. Far from the pre -emptive experience, the priest emphasized that these sacred days are an opportunity to think, celebrate and embody faith.

The Chilean sheikh recalled that the liturgy in the sacred week, especially Easter, offers us to the heart of Christian ambiguity: the history of salvation from creation to the resurrection. He said: “What we also find it celebrated and lived,” equaling the importance of effective participation in the liturgical deals.

Among the most eloquent signs, highlighting the foot basin as a radical gesture of service and humility on the part of God, who reduces our rescue. The cross also highlighted, a symbol of the extreme love of Christ, and Sunday’s ablution from the Resurrection, which reminds us that death does not have the last word.

In a world of pain, selfishness and division, he called for an active witness to Christian hope: hope in the form of a cross, but also from the resurrection. He said that this hope is manifested in small gestures: forgiveness, reconciliation, service, respect and promotion of human dignity.

In addition, he recalled the ongoing invitation of Pope Francis to consider the parties – geographical and existential – where the new “Interest” chris is embodied. From the forced immigrants to the participant who suffers in silence, the call is to identify others as a living image of Christ suffering.

For those who pass through moments of pain or frustration, the message was clear and tenderly: “It does not matter what you did, what matters is that God loved you first. Let yourself embrace for their mercy.” Thus, Wiving Holy Week is also recognizing our fragility, opening ourselves to grace and allowing the Lord to enter our wounds to turn it into a new life.

With simple but deeply loaded words with spirituality, the journalist invites us not to miss this holy week as another tradition, but converting it into an experimental and transforming work reflects the hope that does not disappoint your possession: Christ is alive in our midst.
