Pope Mercy

Andrea Tornelli

“The mercy of God is our liberation and happiness. We live from mercy and we cannot be without mercy: it is the air we breathe. We are very poor to put the conditions, we need forgiveness, because we need to forgive. If there is a message stating that more than anyone else features Bond Bob Francis and appreciates him, then this is mercy. We suddenly left the Pope this morning, after giving the last European or European blessing on Easter day of the central balcony of Passelika San Pedro, and after taking his last tour between the crowd, he blessed goodbye.

There are many topics that the first appearance in the Argentine in the history of the church, especially the interest in the poor, brotherhood, care for the joint home, and “no”, is not conditional. But the heart of his message, which has undoubtedly caused more impression, was the evangelist called mercy. For this proximity and tenderness of God towards those who need to help him. Mercy is like “air for breathing”, and this is what we need more, and without which it will be impossible to live.

Jorge Mario Bergelio lived under the sign of this message, which is the heart of Christianity. From the first Angelos, he prayed on March 17, 2013 from the window of the papal apartment that you will never live, Francisco talked about the centrality of mercy, and remembers the words that an old woman who addressed him to the partner with him when he was not a bishop of Buenos Aires:

The Pope, who came from the “end of the world”, did not modify the teachings of the principled Christian traditions, but when he put mercy again in a renewed way in the midst of his education, other than the perception that many church had. He has given a certificate on the mother’s face that tends towards the injured, in particular, towards the people with sin. The church that takes the first step towards the sinner, as Jesus did in Jericho, and called himself to the uninterrupted and hateful Zachaius home, without asking anything, without previous conditions. This was because he felt that he was looked and loved for the first time that Zakayus recognized, as he found the motivation to become in that Nasserical view.

Many people, two thousand years ago, were exposed to the scandal when they saw that the teacher entered the same love home in Jericho. Many people have been scandal in recent years due to reception gestures and their proximity to the Argentine back towards all groups of people, especially “non -reckoning” and sinners. In his first sermon in a mass with the people, in the Santa Anna Church in the Vatican, Francisco said: “How many of us may be convicted! It will also be fair. But he forgives. like? With mercy, whoever does not erase sin: only the remission of God erases him, while he transcends mercy. It is like the sky: we look at the sky, and many stars, but when the sun rises in the morning, with a lot of light, the stars are not seen. This is the mercy of God: a great light of love, from tenderness, because God does not forgive a decree, but with a hug.

Over the years of Pontificate, Caliph 266 of Pedro showed the face of a nearby church, capable of testimony to tenderness and mercy, welcoming and hugging everyone, even at the expense of assuming risks and without concern about the reactions of the militants. “The best infected church, injured and stained to go abroad,” wrote Francisco in Farah the BibleHis road map, “before a patient who is sick and comfortable to stick to the same assertions.” The church that does not trust in human skills, in the emergence Influencers Self -reference, religious marketing strategies, but it becomes transparent to spread the compassionate face of the person who founded and made him live, despite everything, two thousand years ago.

It is this face and this is what many people embrace in the old ceilings in Rome coming from Argentina, which began Pontvicat to pray for the dead immigrants in the Lambidosa Sea, and they ended up with the sentences in a wheelchair, and it is devoted until the last moment of testimony to the world on the uterine hugs and God is sincere in the love of all its creativity.
