Pope: The disease is a love school, God does not leave us alone

Alessandro de Busolo – Vatikan Ciodad

Surprise at the end of the pension bloc of patients and the health world is the arrival of Pope Francis to Plaza de San Pedro. On a wheelchair, accompanied by his personal nurse, who takes him to the altar, where, after the final pond of the celebrated, the head of bishops, Vesichala, announces a short greeting: “Good Sunday for everyone, thank you very much!”

I share the experience of relying on others

The union Pope participates in the home of Santa Marta a lot with the twenty thousand pilgrims, and many of them are patients, gathered in Plaza de San Pedro due to the massacre of patients and the world of health. He recognizes his family, read by his representative, Archbishop Renault Vesicilla, supporting the department of basic issues to preach in a decade world for evangelization. Pope Francis, Vesichela, stresses, “Pope Francis is particularly close to us, and like many patients, in this sacred Eucharistic via television.” Ink, in the text, “the experience of the disease, to feel weak, to rely on others on many things, to obtain support.”

It is not always easy, but it is a school in which we learn every day to love it and let us love, without demonstrating and without refusal, without regretting and without despair, grateful to God and the brothers for the good that we receive, and abandoning and trusting what has not yet come.

With the eyes of Bryz and the heart of the burning passion, many people who arrived in Berninini Bernini in a moving or slow chair, volunteers, nurses and doctors who accompanied them, they heard their words, interspersed with Monsinor Vesilla, and they are already stressing, and they do not realize that, and do not realize that? faith. “

These are the first words of reading, for the book of Isaiah, which is included in the Mass on this fifth Sunday of the Great Lent, which the ink hangs in its sermon. Those who direct the Lord the people of Israel exiled in Babylon, through the Prophet Isaiah. “It is time, it seems that everything has been lost,” Jerusalem has been invaded and destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers. However, specifically in this context, “the Lord calls for hosting something new to be born.”

What is born is a new city. The town of Head has discovered the wrong assertions in the past, what is necessary, remains united and walks together in the light of the Lord.

Thus, Pope Francis explains that the people of Israel are learning to meet the Lord in another way: “In transforming the heart, in the practice of law and justice, in the care of the poor and the needy, in the actions of mercy.”

The message follows the same from the passage of the Gospel of John, which describes the meeting of Jesus with the adulterer, threatened with stoning. As you see her life is devastating: “It is not for geographical exile, but for moral condemnation.” There is no hope.

But God does not abandon it. On the contrary, the moment the executioner collects from stones, specifically, Jesus enters his life, defends it and saves violence, which gives him the possibility of starting a new existence.

The Pope, which is “exciting and moving” novels, which the Mass today calls us to renew, on wealth, trust in God, which is always present, near us, to save us.

There is no in exile, no violence, no sin, or any fact of life that may prevent him from being in front of our door and our call, ready to enter. Moreover, especially when the evidence becomes more difficult, their grace and their love embrace us more strongly to strengthen it.

In testing the disease, God does not leave us alone

Certainly, Francisco says: “Certainly this disease is one of the most difficult difficult tests of life, in which we imagine our fragility. This can make us feel that people are in exile, or as a woman of the Gospel, deprived of hope in the future, but this is not.”

Even at the present time, God does not leave us alone, and if we abandon ourselves with it, exactly as our forces retreat, we can test the comfort of his existence.

The Lord himself, man made, “wanted to participate in all our weakness”, and for this reason “we can present and trust our pain, certainly find sympathy, rapprochement and tenderness.” In addition, the ink confirms in its text, “In his confident love, he wants to adhere to us so that we can also be” angels “for each other, the messengers of his existence.” Therefore, often, “both for those who suffer, both for those who attend, the patient’s bed can be converted into a” sacred place “of salvation and redemption.”

In addressing doctors, nurses, and health staff, the Pope reminds them, in the words of Spes who are not honored by the jubilee, that while they serve their patients, especially the most fragile, the Lord gives them the opportunity to constantly renew their lives, and feed them with gratitude, mercy and hope.

Allow the presence of patients between a gift in their presence, the treatment of their hearts, and their purification of everything that is not charitable and heats them with burning and sweet sympathy.

At the end of his sermon, the Pope recalled that his predecessor Benedict XVI, “that gave us a beautiful testimony of serenity in the time of his illness,” Speus Salifi wrote in the encyclopedia “that the greatness of humanity is determined by its community.” Because “facing suffering makes us more humane and exchanging pain is an important stage of every way of holiness.”

Dear friends, do not go down to the fragile person, and they move him away from our lives, where we see unfortunately that sometimes there is a specific type of mentality usually today, we do not separate the pain of our environment. Let’s throw an occasion for growth together, to develop hope thanks to the love that God has given, first, in our hearts, and exceeds everything, what remains forever.
