On the fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana, recalled the feast of St. John Bosco and inspired by his work said: “In the face of the difficulties presented to us by others to teach young people, let us become deaf and continue with them in the style of Don Bosco.” Jesus Christ is our model.

Jesus is the Prophet of God, the Father’s envoy, the Holy One of God. The fascination that your person produces cannot be compared to that of any social or political leader of our time or of any era. His figure and message are based on the coherence of life he showed that led him to the final sacrifice on the Cross. When the exercise of power is exercised without principle and without conscience, every spiritual, moral or social authority is lost and falls into authoritarianism, which leads to the imposition of ideas, ignorance or elimination of the adversary, oppression and suppression of freedom. And this, done in a subtle or uninhibited way, leads to the same personal and social result: the destruction of the person and society. He has come into the world to build a new humanity. Jesus reveals God’s love for each of us. His authority is not an oppressive power but a balm that frees us, a new light that illuminates the dark stretches of our existence, a force that encourages us in our struggles, difficulties, trials and temptations.

Among the Church’s most outstanding communicative experiences in Cuba is a project born as a virtual community that in 2020 was extended to other platforms and formats. Since its inception, the Catholic Youth Network (RCJ) has explored the world of social media and the media in order to connect as many young Cuban Catholics as possible.

In his allocution this Sunday, January 24, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana, invites us to follow Jesus, as did Andrew, Peter, Santiago and Juan. In this way, we will be fishermen of people “for the greater glory of God and happiness of them, their families, their friends, their neighbors, their peoples”.

Pope Francis has instituted this third Sunday of Ordinary Time as the Sunday of the Word of God. From this virtual pulpit, which we have called “Today’s Word”, we intend to put our grain of sand to fulfill this desire of the Pope: that the Word of God will come to us as the food of the spirit from which we cannot do without. Nor could those disciples who left everything and marched after Jesus could not do without him. Leaving everything means losing everything to win it all. Men and women of all times and places, also today, follow Christ with what they are and have, it is worth it. If others did, how can we not be able to do it ourselves in our time. To this end Christ Himself will give us his grace and the strength of his Spirit.
