Today, September 29th celebrates sixty-seven years of profession Father Manuel Uña. He has been, for more than twenty-five years, the close friend of many Cubans, Catholic or not, of simple people, people “on foot”, of […]

Faced with the recurring question that many Cubans are asking today, what aspirations can I have here and now, a young Catholic recalls the Pope’s invitation to live a “revolution of tenderness”. Five years ago, Francis, during his visit to the island, also explained the pillars that sustain this revolution: service, poverty and hope. Today, in the face of the disconcerting day-to-day life of this people, our common aspiration must be to give ourselves in service to the brother and in the construction, little by little, of the best Cuba that we are sure exists. “We must know that we will suffer misunderstandings and frustrations,” says the author, but “we are not edulating the Pope’s message.”

Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana, stated in his stay on this Sunday, September 27th, that many people, in saying yes to God, have also said yes to their family, their neighbors, their peoples and their churches. Among the examples of these “permanent yes” he recalled to marriages of many years of marriage; to the children who have remained with their older fathers until the last minute of their lives and to the Virgin Mary who accepted the will of God the Father to be the Mother of her Son made man.

We can choose between being sinners on the way, listening to the Lord, and when they fall they repent and rise.

In the catechesis of the General Audience on 23 September, held in the courtyard of San Dámaso in the Vatican, Pope Francis referred to the issue of how are we going to get out of this crisis? In an earlier catechesis he referred to solidarity as an important element in addressing this moment of difficulty. Today he said: “there is no true solidarity without social participation, without the contribution of the intermediate bodies: of families, of associations, of cooperatives, of small businesses, of expressions of civil society.”

In this Sunday’s radio allocution, September 20, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana, invited the faithful to present to God what was received from Him and promise to develop him and make him grow to put him at the service of all selflessly. He recalled that next Thursday, September 24, the Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Mercy, who intercedes before God for the redemption of captives.

“To correct the brother who has made a mistake, Jesus suggests a pedagogy of recovery,” said Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of the #Habana in this Sunday’s #13deSeptiembre. On this teaching he highlighted his obvious purpose of “always saving”. According to the Gospel, the warning should not be made by exposing sin before all. “It’s about going to the brother discreetly, not to judge him, but to help him realize what he’s done.”

Jesus Christ, the Father’s incarnate mercy, invites us to forgive always.
“How many times, Lord?… up to seventy times seven.”
