Life and loss in the experience of new generations are intertwined, as it reaches Rome to the jubilee after the funeral of Francisco: without safe “answers”, but with the power of rapprochement. The church “begins again” trusts in its new path.
EDOARDO GIRIBALDI – VATICAN CIUDAD
Our “paradoxes” of our time, which were almost supported, are often welcomed by the watchful eye of Pope Francis, capable of reading it without judgment, with an understanding of those who walk between men. The most obvious, cruelty, still equal: “When a few of the opposite celebrate and many of them have no bread to live.” However, there may have been good paradoxes, able to ignore the current situation, as he meant Francisco often, and to return the meaning even to pain. The contradictions that shine under the light of fragile hope, the same value that appear contradictory in a world of ugliness.
Scream, smile, other words were given to feel bigger. Through Della Coniliazione has not changed, but today, Sunday, April 27, he goes through a different feeling. Yesterday, on the same street, the world received Pope Francis. Just one day later, tens of thousands of young people, from all angles of the world, travel in the direction of Plaza de San Pedro, which made this “noise” that the Pope urged to do.
“Nothing will be very big.”
The tension between memory and prospects in the future is read in the words of the Cardinal Petro Parolin, which urges the sermon from the second block of the grandmother to vote for young people:
“Never forget your life with real hope that Jesus Christ’s face will be. There will be nothing big or united with him.”
Be there, “blessing”
While awaiting the start of the celebration, the scene is filled with small, natural with a natural toys to 40 on the sidewalks, and the scroll – Verro is used to describe the thumb that is transmitted from the bottom to the phone screen – its attention is dispersed, and some sleeping boys with their bags under their neck, and recover from fatigue from Roman night. Childhood and future scenes imposed transparency.
When the “noise” is very strong, it is the Companions that put the system. A silent gift, such as delicate headlights. Fray Austin, a religious one of Cappucina from California, tells a journey that started visiting Asisi and Rome, but suddenly became part of a greater story: “Blessing”, he simply says about the funeral of the Pope.
“It begins again” from the youth. Along with his friends, he narrates a true pilgrimage to Rome, he lived in poverty, “without even showering,” live the journey in the most authentic meaning.
Pain answers, which are not present
Call the funeral “grace”. Talk about “recommendation”. Here is the paradox that the young heart can understand without shame or lack of consistency and hypocrisy. Fray Austin, which we are yesterday, returns this morning to the square with a group of young people. Among them is dawn, 22, dark eyes and nasal hole. “Yesterday I shared a beautiful idea with the group. Do you want to repeat it?” The religious asks. Hesitated. His voice is unsafe, his smile. “Let’s do this without recordings,” the monk suggests, and DAWN, who is already from Oregon, gradually. He talks about a song he heard on the trip: One of us, written by Joan Osborne, a rocky song in 1995 who wonders if God is not, “one of us”, “a stranger to the bus.” Another Stanza, suspended in the electric guitar line, says:
“No one calls for the phone,” for the Pope, perhaps in Rome. “. “No one calls the phone. Just, perhaps, the Pope in Rome. “
But what if not even the Pope can answer the big questions about life and death? Dawn tells that he saw an Instagram re -came – because not all passes come badly – as Pope Francis admitted, before Roman teenagers assisted by a “FDP Pructions in Eduction”, which was active in the European country for years, is fine, “Why is there no answer:” Why do children suffer? Dawn continues, “I think he can only come from the fact that God is really one of us. This relieves me, yes.”
Common hope between generations
Young people know how they are uncompromising with their sincerity: a horizontal image – in the place of vertical coordination, is more suitable for social networks – it is sufficient to be classified by the companion by Pommer.
The “rebel adolescence”, as Pope Francis called it, in reference to the presence of boys and girls “, for complex historical and cultural reasons, testing the power of the need to become self -evident by their parents, almost to” liberating themselves “from the inheritance of the previous generation.”
In this case, conflicts between births and people between the ages of 52 and 70 and the youth of the generation Z are limited to jokes with a good tone. Under jokes, a glimpse of a deeper truth is made: a silent alliance in which adults make this event possible and give it to young people life, color and heart. Wisdom is not age. In young people, who know without knowing it. In the elderly, who give flashes exceed the horizon. Bob Francis did not appear in assessing the relationship between grandchildren and grandparents, who are able to teach “to develop the most important emotions, which were not obtained by force, with success, but fill life.”
The true “magic” of the youth
When he says goodbye, Brother Austin falls his phone on the ground. Religious bends down, touches his back with depression. “I am older,” admits. Peter Ban syndrome, “Fear of the Final”. You live in a “suspended time”, it will be required to extend to the maximum. Francisco was able to read this aspect of young people in a post -Brojetolic stimulus Christ lives Specifically dedicated to new generations. His departure to the Father’s house seems to call all young people – not only – not to stay fixed. To go through pain. To make “elections”, even when they are afraid. This, the last “magic” for young people.
More than 200,000 liters of distributed water and an educational program in large -scale water
Along with more than 200,000 young men who went to Rome for the jubilee of teenagers, ACEA, the pioneering water player in Italy and one of the first people in Europe, supplied young pilgrims with more than 200,000 liters of water in recent days through 17 tank trucks located at decisive points in the city.
