Great friend of #Cuba, the hospitable priest Simon Azpiroz, expresses from Ecuador his concern about how the day after the global health emergency will be based. For this Spanish missionary, there will be many socio-economic and cultural challenges in the future #pospandemia. However, he confesses, “guidelines will have to be proposed to confront them and, as #Francisco says, a great citizen ‘movement’ will have to be fostered that breaks with ‘fixed or expired structures’ to rebuild society from ‘the necessary antibodies of justice, charity and solidarity’, in favour of ‘sustainable and integral development’ to protect humanity.”

Nel suo recente messaggio per la Giornata Mondiale delle Comunicazioni Sociali, il #Papa Francesco ha sottolineato che la storia di Cristo non è un’eredità del passato. Merita di essere detto, ma alla stessa altezza. Questo tempo di lontananza fisica ha dimostrato la necessità che il #Iglesia di comunicare. La missione è sempre la stessa, solo i supporti cambiano, si diversificano, si espandono. Questo è ciò che i giovani comunicatori ci invitano a fare: testimoniare da ogni esperienza alla Fede che ci sta uniendo, e che grazie a Dio ci permette di rimanere diversi. La fede che dignitosa e liberata.

For the Catholic intellectual, Ivette Fuentes de la Paz, these months of necessary estrangement have taught us to consider life from another perspective, to value situations in a different way, which is to revalue them and, above all, to see better the essential things and not the conjuncttures. These, he says, “make life live as a circumstance full of equally circumstantial bonds, and not as the best gift God has ever given us.”

In line with the #PapaFrancisco, the Haban priest, Ariel Suarez, assures that the present #pandemia has shown that there are many saints next door. “In this time we have seen many people dedicated to serving others. That quality of the human, those high heights of altruism and love, continue to bring us hope and confidence.”

The outstanding intellectual Roberto Méndez Martínez states that “the rediscovery of the spiritual importance of the family” has been the main conclusion he has made in this time of confinement. “This has reaffirmed my notion that the most natural way of living an individual is within a harmonious, dialogue family, where each member respects the rights and opinion of the other.”

Isn’t it wonderful that regrets written more than two thousand years ago tell us something today? The Word of God proves that he is to instruct us, exhort us, but also to encourage us in all circumstances. It’s enough to have faith. God guides history. The Lord, who delivered his people from captivity, knows what is happening to us and will know how to take us from his hand to safe harbor.
