Dio non benedice alcun conflitto. Chi è discepolo di Cristo, principe della pace, non sta mai dalla parte di chi ieri impugnava la spada e oggi lancia le bombe. Non saranno le azioni militari a creare spazi di libertà o tempi di #pace, ma solo la paziente promozione della convivenza e del dialogo tra i popoli.
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).
