(ANSA) – FLORENCE, 01 NOV – “Times of suffering have yet to fall upon the world. It is not only humanity that suffers from the frailties connected to its creatural condition and to sin and for the sufferings generated by social lacerations, but the mystery of evil penetrates Creation and overturns the harmonious image that the Creator had imprinted on it. Words that we feel close to us in today’s connection between the crisis of the person and of human society and the ecological crisis “. Thus Cardinal Giuseppe Betori, Archbishop of Florence, in a passage from the homily delivered in the cathedral for the Solemnity of All Saints.
“The author of the Apocalypse – he continues – sees in them expressions of the ‘wrath of God’, ancient words that we can re-express in this way: the world is upset, and with it humanity, when it closes itself in the presence of God and the action of his love “. Furthermore, for Betori on this day “the contemplation of holiness in our brothers and sisters who preceded us, remaining faithful to their belonging to the Lord and showing in their works how the divine life received is translated into a good life, also becomes an exhortation to put ourselves on this same street “. “This – he concluded – is also the meaning of the Synodal Way that we started a few days ago”, “first of all a journey of conversion, a change of life to assume that attitude of listening to the Spirit and to the brothers and sisters that helps us to understand the God’s will, in which to set out to become saints. We hear the invitation of the Pope and the Bishops to walk together as an invitation to share our longing for holiness and to bear witness to it as a good life for all “. (HANDLE).
