Wall Eileen Castro Matthews – Vatican City

Amid the continuation of the devastating earthquake that shook the Myanmar Center on March 28, the church is in Mandalay in a difficult time to rebuild society and activation. This was mentioned by Father Peter Kyi Mong, the diocese public prosecutor, in a statement to Fids, in which he stressed the urgent need to restore hope to the affected ecclesiastical societies: “Now we need to rebuild hope in our societies, and really difficult beating.

Inspection and priorities in reconstruction

The emergency rescue team in the diocese has performed searches in damaged structures, setting priority areas for repair. In a note published by the same team, it was said: “The sacred spaces where we meet worship, prayer and mutual support urgently need reform and restoration. We make a modest invitation to the great family of faith to provide us with their generous assistance.”

The restoration of churches, community centers and classrooms in Christian education is considered necessary to create safe spaces where religious and social activities. The recovery of these spaces will allow the revitalization of the spiritual and pastoral life of local society. “Only in this way we can resume the spiritual and pastoral life of the people of God,” says church authorities.

The church as a tool for mercy

In the midst of this harsh reality, religious leaders assert their role as tools for mercy and hope. Father Peter Ki Mong added: “For many suffering, we are the tools of mercy and mercy from God at this time of trial. For this reason we ask to support believers all over the world.”

Hope is born again in Myanmar before the new vision of the fourteenth Pope Liu

The Catholic society in Myanmar feels strong in the spirit of hope and renewed faith before the selection of Pope Liu XIV. For them, their leadership is much more than a religious personality; It is hope for difficult times. The Archbishop of Mandalay, Marco Tin Win, expressed his joy and gratitude, congratulates his new back and asked him to be firm support in the search for peace and reconciliation in his country. He said: “This is a moment of martyrdom and preaching to us,” which highlights the importance of the Pope’s evidence in the midst of difficulties, and it is a symbol of the union for people who yearn for peace.

From Rome, Cardinal Charles Mong Bo, President of Yangon’s bishops and a witness close to this event in the church, participated in warm pictures next to the Pope. With hope in his outlook, he expressed his desire to visit Pope Liu XIV. A visit can enhance hope relations, cultivate peace in the hearts and accompany their people in recovering their identity and dignity. In the midst of uncertainty, these sounds join one fuss: that the new vision of the Pope lights the way of Myanmar towards a future full of hope, reconciliation and love.

The sound of the secular and the expectation towards the new Pope

Father Aung Mint, the Dominican priest, highlighted the importance of the new missionary experience and his ability to support the countries of the world south, including Myanmar. “It will be a voice for those who have no voice,” he said.

Finally, Joseph Kong, Yangon Lieman, estimated the ability of ink to communicate in several languages, thus facilitating cooperation with Asian societies and in Myanmar, especially in times of crisis.

The ecclesiastical society in Myanmar is still a pillar of hope and solidarity, which enhances the reconstruction and peace among adversity, in the wake of the global message of mercy and commitment that the Church promotes all over the world.
