“Peace, required”, from mercy, is born with the light that lights up a wealth and opens hearts to “new brotherly relationships”. This is the desire today, March 27th, Pope Francis in his message to the XXXV session in the internal forum, organized by the Apostolic Prison. The meetings, which started on March 24 and will last up to 28 years, are held in the Romanian Basilica in Saint Lorenzo, Damaso, associated with the shortness of transformation, and mainly targeting priests and candidates for sacred orders.
The liturgy time that precedes Easter is the time of “conversion”, “atonement” and “reception”. The dimension, the latter, which embraces mercy, whose celebration represents a “real privilege”.
“God has made us the ministers of mercy with his grace, and it is a gift that we welcomed because we were the first things to forgive.”
The Pope urges us to be “prayer men”, because in the “roots” of every ministerial work. It is a task that also requires a great responsibility, because “Jesus’ work” is continuing, who remembers – as Francisco remembers, citing the Gospel of John – “I still repeat and always:” I do not condemn you nor go more. “
The word “liberal”, which the Pope hopes to resonate strongly in the current year of jubilee.
“In order to renew the hearts, which stem from reconciliation with God and open up to new fraternal relations. Even the required peace is born from mercy, as hopes that are not disappointed.”
Francisco concludes his message and thanked the participants for the “indispensable Ministry of Secrets.”
