PRZEMÓWIENIE OJCA ŚWIĘTEGO FRANCISZKA
NA CAMPUS MISERICORDIAE
(KAMPUS MIŁOSIERDZIA)
30 LIPCA 2016 – cz.3.
Świętujemy fakt, że pochodzimy z różnych kultur i
łączymy się, żeby się modlić. Niech naszym
najlepszym
słowem,
naszym
najlepszym
przemówieniem będzie zjednoczenie w modlitwie.
Pozostańmy na chwilę w milczeniu i módlmy się;
stawiajmy przed Bogiem świadectwa tych przyjaciół,
utożsamiajmy się z tymi, dla których „rodzina jest
pojęciem nieistniejącym, a dom jedynie miejscem do
spania i jedzenia”, lub z tymi, którzy żyją w strachu,
przekonani, że ich błędy i grzechy definitywnie ich
wykluczyły. Postawmy w Bożej obecności także wasze
„wojny”, zmagania, które każdy niesie ze sobą, w
swoim sercu. Kiedy modliliśmy się, przyszedł mi na
myśl obraz apostołów w dniu Pięćdziesiątnicy. Jest to
scena, która może nam pomóc w zrozumieniu tego
wszystkiego, czego Bóg pragnie dokonać w naszym
życiu, w nas i z nami. Tego dnia uczniowie byli
zamknięci z obawy. Czuli się zagrożeni ze strony
środowiska, które ich prześladowało, które zmuszało
ich do pozostawania w małym pomieszczeniu,
bezczynnie jakby byli sparaliżowani. Opanował ich
lęk. W tym kontekście, stało się coś spektakularnego,
coś wielkiego. Przyszedł Duch Święty i języki jakby z
ognia spoczęły na każdym z nich, pobudzając ich do
przygody, o której nigdy nie marzyli.
