POPE FRANCIS AT WORLD YOUTH DAY As we hear Pope Francis’s words to the young people gathered for World Youth Day this summer, we realize how much his words speak to us as well. Dear young friends, don’t be ashamed to bring everything to the Lord in confession, especially your weaknesses, your struggles and your sins. He will surprise you with his forgiveness and his peace. Don’t be afraid to say “yes” to him with all your heart, to respond generously and to follow him! Don’t let your soul grow numb, but aim for the goal of a beautiful love which also demands sacrifice. Say a firm “no” to the narcotic of success at any cost and the sedative of worrying only about yourself and your own comfort. After his small stature, after the paralysis of shame, there was a third obstacle that Zacchaeus had to face. It was no longer an interior one, but was all around him. It was the grumbling of the crowd, who first blocked him and then criticized him: How could Jesus have entered his house, the house of a sinner! How truly hard it is to welcome Jesus, how hard it is to accept a “God who is rich in mercy” (Eph 2:4)! People will try to block you, to make you think that God is distant, rigid and insensitive, good to the good and bad to the bad. Instead, our heavenly Father “makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good” (Mt 5:45). He demands of us real courage: the courage to be more powerful than evil by loving everyone, even our enemies. People may laugh at you because you believe in the gentle and unassuming power of mercy. But do not be afraid. Think of the motto of these days: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy” (Mt 5:7). People may judge you to be dreamers, because you believe in a new humanity, one that rejects hatred between peoples, one that refuses to see borders as barriers and can cherish its own traditions without being self-centred or small-minded. Don’t be discouraged: with a smile and open arms, you proclaim hope and you are a blessing for our one human family, which here you represent so beautifully! That day the crowd judged Zacchaeus; they looked him over, up and down. But Jesus did otherwise: he gazed up at him (v. 5). Jesus looks beyond the faults and sees the person. He does not halt before bygone evil, but sees future good. His gaze remains constant, even when it is not met; it seeks the way of unity and communion. In no case does it halt at appearances, but looks to the heart. Jesus looks to our hearts, your heart, my heart. With this gaze of Jesus, you can help bring about another humanity, without looking for acknowledgement but seeking goodness for its own sake, content to maintain a pure heart and to fight peaceably for honesty and justice. Don’t stop at the surface of things; distrust the worldly cult of appearances, cosmetic attempts to improve our looks.

EL PAPA FRANCIS EN LA JORNADA MUNDIAL DE LA JUVENTUD

Mientras escuchamos las palabras del Papa Francisco a los jóvenes reunidos para la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud este verano, nos damos cuenta de lo mucho que sus palabras tiene un mensaje para nosotros también. Queridos jóvenes, no os avergoncéis de llevarle todo, especialmente las debilidades, las dificultades y los pecados, en la confesión: Él sabrá sorprenderos con su perdón y su paz. No tengáis miedo de decirle «sí» con toda la fuerza del corazón, de responder con generosidad, de seguirlo. No os dejéis anestesiar el alma, sino aspirad a la meta del amor hermoso, que exige también renuncia, y un «no» fuerte al doping del éxito a cualquier precio y a la droga de pensar sólo en sí mismo y en la propia comodidad. Después de la baja estatura y después de la vergüenza paralizante, hay un tercer obstáculo que Zaqueo tuvo que enfrentar, ya no en su interior sino a su alrededor. Es la multitud que murmura, que primero lo bloqueó y luego lo criticó: Jesús no tenía que entrar en su casa, en la casa de un pecador. ¿Qué difícil es acoger realmente a Jesús, qué duro es aceptar a un «Dios, rico en misericordia» (Ef 2,4). Puede que os bloqueen, tratando de haceros creer que Dios es distante, rígido y poco sensible, bueno con los buenos y malo con los malos. En cambio, nuestro Padre «hace salir su sol sobre malos y buenos» (Mt 5,45), y nos invita al valor verdadero: ser más fuertes que el mal amando a todos, incluso a los enemigos. Puede que se rían de vosotros, porque creéis en la fuerza mansa y humilde de la misericordia. No tengáis miedo, pensad en cambio en las palabras de estos días: «Bienaventurados los misericordiosos, porque ellos alcanzarán misericordia» (Mt 5,7). Puede que os juzguen como unos soñadores, porque creéis en una nueva humanidad, que no acepta el odio entre los pueblos, ni ve las fronteras de los países como una barrera y custodia las propias tradiciones sin egoísmo y resentimiento. No os desaniméis: con vuestra sonrisa y vuestros brazos abiertos predicáis la esperanza y sois una bendición para la única familia humana, tan bien representada por vosotros aquí. Aquel día, la multitud juzgó a Zaqueo, lo miró con desprecio; Jesús, en cambio, hizo lo contrario: levantó los ojos hacia él (v. 5). La mirada de Jesús va más allá de los defectos para ver a la persona; no se detiene en el mal del pasado, sino que divisa el bien en el futuro; no se resigna frente a la cerrazón, sino que busca el camino de la unidad y de la comunión; en medio de todos, no se detiene en las apariencias, sino que mira al corazón. Jesús mira nuestro corazón, el tuyo, el mío. Con esta mirada de Jesús, podéis hacer surgir una humanidad diferente, sin esperar a que os digan «qué buenos sois», sino buscando el bien por sí mismo, felices de conservar el corazón limpio y de luchar pacíficamente por la honestidad y la justicia. No os detengáis en la superficie de las cosas y desconfiad de las liturgias mundanas de la apariencia, del maquillaje del alma para aparentar mejores. 0483 Saint Peter’s Church
