Day by day we are seeing how Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger is evolving in the leader, the guide, the father and, as he himself says, in the Shepherd we all need so much as His Holiness Benedict XVI.
He is gaining the enormous proportions of a Shepherd that through the love for our Lord Jesus Christ, is decided to go after each lamb that has become scattered away of the flock, he is decided to go and fight for each one of them and not to forsake them, as he mentioned, in the desert of the physical and soul disgrace.
With a humbleness worthy of admiration, he asks for the help of each of us and I am sure that at his call, we are ready and willing to so, since, in the end, the benefit will be our own.
By building together we will grow stronger and we will be able to embrace all those brothers and sisters that feel they are forsaken by God, all those that are silently asking for a light in their path, a beam of warmth in their loneliness and a glimpse of the God they have denied because in their personal desert, even when He is there, they do not know to find Him because they refuse to see Him.
In Century XXI, we are eye-witnessing that the Holy Spirit is acting in the wise election of our already beloved Holy Father Benedict XVI.
Two thousand years later, the recommendation made by Jesus Christ is alive and the Shepherd that is taking hold of the crosier is at the occasion of Saint Peter.
What a beautiful passage sung in Latin and Greek! Didn’t it make you feel as if you were right with Jesus Christ and Saint Peter listening to those beautiful words?
Our Benedict XVI is brave, wise, visionary, sensitive, reconciling and he is showing us that he is the Father we were waiting for.
Let us not ignore his call. Our Church is our Mother. Let us make Her stronger so she can keep protecting us and as he said: Let us all be with him a unity, that in turn will be one with Christ and the Celestial Father. This way all of us will be saved.
But, we cannot overlook that this was a vigorous homily at claiming with energy the economically and militarily powerful nations, their blindness, their selfishness, their contempt and hard-headedness and lack of respeto for the weak ones and to have broken the international law. This claim was made with singular energy and courage.
One more reason for all us to stay together around our Holy Father, let us help him face the wolves, and all those that wearing a lamb skin are infiltrating among us.
All of us are One with our Pope Benedict XVI in Christ.
Holy Father: HAI PARLATO BENE !!
BENE DETTO !!
