Steiner: In the range, the entire church affection continues

Silvonei Protz and Antonella Palermo – Vatican City

A global inspiration experience for the soul. Thus, the Cardinal Leonardo Ulrich Steiner, the head of the Manaus bishops, told the Vatican media, His participation in the flavor that chose Liu XIV, whose missionary experience is greatly estimated. It is aspect, in his opinion, Pontificate will give the measure of interest to the poor and in the care of the joint home, in the wake of their predecessor Francisco.

We want to be a missionary church, attentive to the poor

Seven Brazilians participated in the range, representing all regions of the Latin American country. “It was the deep experience that made me more church.” The singing of the class among all the saints during the procession between the Paulin chapel and the Sistine Church was moving: to believe that the entire church was there, not only societies, and it is praying for us until the Holy Spirit enlightened us. To a song creator A very expanded ecclesiastical space was taken that the feeling of belonging to the World Church was very strong and tangible. “We all meet to serve the Pope’s selection and now we all want to apply as a church with Liu XIV. We will do this in the Amazon, with him, because our church wants to be a missionary. ”He insists that the fact that Prevost has a history of missionary bishop that Steiner seems an excellent hypothesis on teaching that does not neglect the most fragile:“ We want to be a Samaritan church, a church for the poor.

After Francisco’s footsteps, Amazon is very associated with

Cardinal remembers the love that Pope Francis has always had for Amazon, to the extent that when both met, Bergoglio quickly asked him – who summoned the Special Senod for excessive area in 2019 – soon: “And Amazon?” “I had a very deep contact,” Steiner says. “I wanted to know how things were going. He called me at Kovid times, when we were living in a very dangerous situation, without oxygen even in hospitals. He asked me information. I was attentive, very worried that the church was really comfortable, because it was a community church.” Steiner is convinced that Pope Leon will get the same care and attention: “We cannot forget that he comes from the mission. Amazon is an important area.” In addition, Brazil will host the COP-30 next November and hope that world leaders will take into account the needs of people who live here very strong by the local church.

The Amazon people need someone to give the secrets

Finally, among the dreams of Cardinal Steiner, “The Synod Church remains.” And he confirms that although he only lived in this field of the world for five years, he realizes that the Single experience “is indeed a history, has already been done.” The path that the secularists traveled in their participation in community life, noticed, was implemented for fifty years. Another dream is that our societies can celebrate the sacred offering several times. We have 1,300 society in diocese with 173 priests. Most of them live in the city of Manus, with 2.3 million people. Poverty is large. How to carry the Eucharist? “I think one day, as a church, we must address this issue,” Steiner adds. “Celebrating the word of God is a beautiful and deep thing, but we need to celebrate secrets.” Society cannot have no several times. We are four bishops and try to manage assurances, for example, but these must be held in societies, not outside them. Consequently, his hope is to be able to follow the path drawn by Francisco, which, as the Brazilian Cardinal notes, on this point: the advertisement must become a prayer and bread.
