Papa Francisco: Ni ideología ni moda para anunciar el Evangelio

VATICANO, 07 Nov. 14 / 01:20 pm (ACI).- La gente debe preguntarse por qué

somos cristianos, señaló este viernes el Papa Francisco durante el encuentro con

los participantes en la asamblea nacional de la Conferencia Italiana de los Supe-

riores Mayores (CISM), a quienes recordó que el anuncio evangélico “es siempre

un signo de contradicción” y por tanto nunca es ideológico ni sigue la moda del

mundo.

“Ante el testimonio de un hermano o una hermana que vive plenamente esa vida

(cristiana) la gente se pregunta: ‘¿Qué pasa aquí?’, ‘¿Qué lleva a esta persona

más allá del horizonte mundano?’. Esto es lo primero: ayudar a la Iglesia a crecer

a través de la atracción. Sin preocuparse de hacer prosélitos: atracción”, afirmó el

Santo Padre durante la audiencia realizada en la Sala Clementina.

En ese sentido, recordó la radicalidad que, aunque deba caracterizar en formas

diversas a todos los cristianos, para los religiosos asume la forma de testimonio

de profecía. “El testimonio de una vida evangélica es lo que distingue al discípulo

misionero y, especialmente, a los que siguen al Señor en el camino de la vida

religiosa. Y el testimonio profético coincide con la santidad”.

“La verdadera profecía nunca es ideológica, no está en contraste con la institu-

ción: es institución. La profecía es institucional, no sigue la moda: es siempre un

signo de contradicción según el Evangelio, como lo fue Jesús. Jesús, era un signo

de contradicción para las autoridades religiosas de su tiempo.: los jefes de los

fariseos y de los saduceos, los maestros de la ley. Y lo fue también para otras

opciones y propuestas: esenios, zelotes”, expresó.

Francisco citó las palabras del Padre presidente de los Superiores Mayores: "No

queremos combatir batallas de retaguardia, de defensa, sino estar en medio de la

gente", con la certeza de la fe en que Dios siempre hace que su Reino germine y

crezca.

El Papa señaló que “esto no es fácil, no es obvio, requiere la conversión; requiere,

sobre todo, la oración y la adoración; y requiere compartir con el pueblo santo de

Dios que vive en las periferias de la historia. Descentrarse”.

Palabra de Dios hoy EL PECADO DE OMISION

- El pecado de los que dejamos que las cosas sigan como van

(cuando no va bien) en el hogar, en el trabajo, en el país.

-El pecado de los que “no podemos arreglar el mundo”

Y nos desentendemos de las muchas cosillas que si podríamos

arreglar en nuestro pequeño mundito de todos los días…

-El pecado de los egoístas y de los mezquinos…

-El pecado de los que pretendemos que no hemos pecado

Cuando hemos dejado de dar de comer al hambriento,

De dar de beber al sediento, de vestir al desnudo... -Hay que sacar pronto las mil “monedas”-o las

Quinientas o las doscientas cincuenta– que hemos enterrado...

-Hay que sacarlas y ponerlas a funcionar antes de que venga el amo.

-El pecado nuestro de todos los días es no poner a trabajar en favor de los

demás todo lo que Dios nos ha dado a guardar: amor, bondad, misericordia,

bienes materiales, compasión...

Youth are dying for a challenge -- give them one, US bishops told

Baltimore, Md., Nov 10, 2014 / 11:46 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Young people are “crying out” for a challenge, and the Church

must answer through saintly witness, the apostolic nuncio to the United States insisted to the nation's bishops on Monday.

“We should ask ourselves,” Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano said, “why young people, submerged into the culture of these times,

so often called the ‘culture of death,’ are setting among the most excessive and challenging experiences which some of them imag-

ine themselves to find, even as far as the aberrations of ISIS.”

“Obviously, young America is searching for something, or perhaps someone, to lead them beyond the frustrations they experience

every day. They are looking well beyond just so-called happiness. They are searching for meaning and purpose to their existence.”

The archbishop addressed the U.S. bishops in Baltimore on Nov. 10 at their annual autumn meeting.

He gave examples of both the old and young choosing to embrace the “culture of death,” through acts such as assisted suicide and

euthanasia for the elderly, and for the youth drug overdose and joining terror groups such as Islamic State.

“What meaning and purpose young people can find in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit! How much fruit can be

borne through a complete and total self-donation for the Gospel and the poor.”

“We have to let our young people know that their lives are worth living, and that they were born for eternal life, not for glamour or

guns or sensationalism. They are crying out to us. They desperately need to be inspired,” he stated.

Pointing to Bl. Paul VI and his apostolic exhortation on evangelization, Evangelii nuntiandi, Archbishop Vigano emphasized his

message that modern man responds better to witness than to teaching.

Thus, the example of the saints is antidote to acts oriented toward the culture of death, Archbishop Vigano insisted. The witness of

the saints – not only those who are canonized, but also the “undiscovered saints” living among us, he said, is essential.

The nuncio exhorted the bishops to themselves provide a saintly witness to today’s youth.

“Look to the example of the Apostles from their fidelity to Jesus, having given credibility to their words by their actions and ulti-

mately by the shedding of their blood.”

One way the Holy Spirit manifests himself in the United States is through “the great pillar of the freedom of religion,” which the

nuncio warned has been “respected up until now in our country.”

“The Spirit of God must be allowed to grow and flourish among us through the freedom of religion. To suppress this freedom is an

attempt to suppress the Spirit of God that cries out in our midst; but let us remember that eventually God will have his way.”

He offered praise for the dioceses of the U.S. “very alive and warmly welcoming their new pastor/bishops” and “that are rich in

incredible beauty in their cathedrals, institutions, universities, schools, and hospitals.”

He also called Catholics to, in the words of St. John Paul II, “be not afraid” to walk with Pope Francis.

“We must not be not afraid to walk with our Holy Father, and to trust in the infinite value of following the Holy Spirit, as our First

Teacher, in guiding the Church,” he exhorted.
