(część IV) 3. Umacniajcie serca wasze! (Jk 5, 3) Poszczególny wierny Również jako pojedyncze osoby mamy pokusę obojętności. Mamy przesyt wstrząsających wiadomości i obrazów, które nam opowiadają o ludzkim cierpieniu, i zarazem czujemy całą naszą niemożność działania. Co zrobić, aby nie dać się wciągnąć w tę spiralę przerażenia i bezsilności? Po pierwsze, możemy modlić się we wspólnocie Kościoła ziemskiego i niebieskiego. Nie lekceważmy siły modlitwy wielu! Inicjatywa24 ore per il Signore 24 godziny dla Pana która, jak ufam, będzie podjęta w całym Kościele, także na szczeblu diecezjalnym, w dniach 13 i 14 marca, ma być wyrazem tej potrzeby modlitwy. Po drugie, możemy pomagać poprzez gesty miłosierdzia, docierając zarówno do bliskich, jak i dalekich dzięki licznym organizacjom charytatywnym Kościoła. Wielki Post jest czasem sprzyjającym temu, aby okazać to zainteresowanie drugiemu, poprzez znak, choćby mały, ale konkretny, naszego udziału w powszechnym człowieczeństwie. I po trzecie, cierpienie drugiego stanowi wezwanie do nawrócenia, bowiem potrzeba, w jakiej znajduje się brat, przypomina mi o słabości mojego życia, o mojej zależności od Boga i od braci. Jeżeli pokornie będziemy prosić o łaskę Bożą i pogodzimy się z tym, że nasze możliwości są ograniczone, wówczas zaufamy w nieskończone możliwości, jakie kryją się w miłości Bożej. I będziemy mogli oprzeć się diabelskiej pokusie, która skłania nas do wierzenia, że sami możemy się zbawić i zbawić świat. Chciałbym was wszystkich prosić, abyśmy dla przezwyciężenia obojętności i naszych pretensji do wszechmocy przeżywali ten czas Wielkiego Postu jako drogę formacji serca, jak wyraził się Benedykt XVI (por. enc. Deus caritas est, 31). Mieć serce miłosierne to nie znaczy mieć serce słabe. Kto chce być miłosierny, musi mieć serce mocne, stałe, niedostępne dla kusiciela, a otwarte na Boga. Serce, które pozwala przeniknąć się Duchowi i daje się prowadzić na drogi miłości, które wiodą do braci i sióstr. W gruncie rzeczy serce ubogie, czyli takie, które zna swoje ubóstwo i poświęca się dla drugiego. Dlatego, drodzy bracia i siostry, pragnę modlić się razem z wami do Chrystusa w tym Wielkim Poście: Fac cor nostrum secundum cor tuum Uczyń serca nasze według serca Twego (Suplikacja z Litanii do Najświętszego Serca Jezusa). Wówczas będziemy mieli serce mocne i miłosierne, czujne i szczodre, które nie daje się zamknąć w sobie i nie wpada w wir globalizacji obojętności. Wyrażając to pragnienie, zapewniam o mojej modlitwie o to, aby każdy człowiek wierzący i każda wspólnota kościelna owocnie przebyli tę drogę wielkopostną, i proszę was o modlitwę za mnie. Niech Pan wam błogosławi, a Matka Boża niech was otacza opieką.

Perhaps you have been thinking about becoming a baptized member of the Catholic Church, perhaps you have been baptized a Christian and now would like to become a member of the Catholic Church, perhaps you have not received all the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist)...then perhaps the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is for you! The RCIA is a process, a journey of faith. Through this gradual and comprehensive process, individuals are trained in the Christian way of life, come to know Jesus Christ through the Catholic community and learn to live as Jesus disciples, continuing the mission of Jesus Christ in the world today. Does this sound like what you are seeking? Do you know anyone who is seeking the Catholic faith? Please contact Dianne ( ) for more information. Classes begin in September.
