WE BECOME UNABLE TO FEEL COMPASSION FOR THE CRY OF PAIN OF OTHERS, WE NO LONGER CRY OVER THE DRAMA OF OTHERS, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM, AS IF EVERYTHING IS A FOREIGN RESPONSIBILITY THAT IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY. THE WELLNESS CULTURE ANAESTHETIZES US AND WE LOSE OUR CALM IF THE MARKET OFFERS SOMETHING WE HAVE NOT YET BOUGHT, WHILE ALL THESE SHATTERED LIVES (…) DO NOT DISTURB US IN ANY WAY. ———————————– WE MUST SAY NO TO AN ECONOMY OF EXCLUSION AND SOCIAL DISPARITY’. SUCH AN ECONOMY KILLS. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR AN ELDERLY PERSON REDUCED TO LIVING ON THE STREET TO DIE OF COLD NOT TO BE A NEW PERSON, WHILE THE DROP OF TWO STOCK MARKET POINTS IS ONE. THAT IS THE EXCLUSION. ———————————– I PREFER A DAMAGED, WOUNDED AND DIRTY CHURCH FOR HAVING GONE OUT ON THE ROADS, RATHER THAN A CHURCH SICK OF ITS CONFINEMENT AND CLINGING COMFORTABLY TO ITS OWN SECURITY. ———————————– THE CHURCH IS CALLED TO ALWAYS BE THE FATHER’S OPEN HOUSE. ONE OF THE CONCRETE SIGNS OF THIS OPENING IS TO HAVE CHURCHES EVERYWHERE WITH OPEN DOORS. (…) AND EVEN THE DOORS OF THE SACRAMENTS SHOULD NOT CLOSE FOR ANY REASON. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR THIS SACRAMENT WHICH IS THE DOOR”, BAPTISM. THE EUCHARIST (…) IS NOT A PRIZE FOR THE PERFECT BUT A GENEROUS REMEDY AND FOOD FOR THE WEAK. (…) WE FREQUENTLY BEHAVE AS CONTROLLERS OF GRACE AND NOT AS FACILITATORS. BUT THE CHURCH IS NOT A CUSTOMS, IT IS THE FATHER’S HOUSE WHERE THERE IS ROOM FOR EVERYONE WITH THEIR DIFFICULT LIFE.
