20 October 2019The globalization that characterizes our time should be "solidarity" and "respectful" of the differences between peoples, instead it feeds "wars". This was denounced by Pope Francis at the Angelus in St. Peter's Square"In our time, marked by a globalization that should be supportive and respectful of the particularity of peoples, and instead still suffers from homologation and the old power conflicts that fuel wars and ruin the planet - says Bergoglio - believers are called to bring everywhere, with new enthusiasm, the good news that in Jesus mercy overcomes sin, hope overcomes fear, fraternity overcomes hostility Christ is our peace and in Him every division is overcome, in Him alone is there the salvation of every man and every people ".
The Holy Father - in the course of the homily - urged to take "distance from the chatter and talk."
gossip that pollutes ". World Mission Sunday, which is celebrated today, remembers Francis" is a favorable opportunity for every baptized person to become more aware of the need to cooperate in the proclamation of the Kingdom of God through a renewed commitment. Pope Benedict XV, one hundred years ago, to give new impetus to the missionary responsibility of the whole Church promulgated the Apostolic Letter 'Maximum illud'. He felt the need to evangelically upgrade the mission in the world, so that it could be purified from any colonial incrustation and free from the conditioning of the expansionist policies of the European nations. In today's changed context - observes the Pope - Benedict XV's message is still current and stimulates the overcoming of the temptation of every self-referential closure and every form of pastoral pessimism, to open us to the joyful novelty of the Gospel ".
