New appeal from the Pope for the reception and integration of immigrants. “On this Sunday, – the Pope recalls before the Angelus in Matera – the Church celebrates the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, on the theme” Building the future with migrants and refugees “. the future according to God’s plan: a future in which every person finds his place and is respected; in which migrants, refugees, displaced persons and victims of trafficking can live in peace and with dignity. For the Kingdom of God it is realized with them, without being excluded. It is also thanks to these brothers and sisters that communities can grow on a social, economic, cultural and spiritual level; and the sharing of different traditions enriches the People of God. inclusive and fraternal! “. “Migrants – adds Bergoglio off the cuff – must be welcomed, accompanied, promoted and integrated”. “Our eternal future depends on this present life: if we dig now an abyss with the brothers, we ‘dig the grave’ for the later; if we now raise walls against the brothers, we remain imprisoned in solitude and death even after”, warns by celebrating Mass in Matera, at the conclusion of the National Eucharistic Congress. Bergoglio, commenting on the parable of the Gospel of the day dedicated to the parable of the rich man, observes: “It is painful to see that this parable is still the history of our days: injustices, disparities, the resources of the earth distributed in an inequitable way, the abuses of the powerful against the weak, the indifference towards the cry of the poor, the abyss that we dig every day by generating marginalization, cannot leave us indifferent “. invites us to take up “the permanent challenge that the Eucharist offers to our life: to adore God and not ourselves. Putting him at the center and not the vanity of our own self. Remembering that only the Lord he is God and everything else is a gift of his love for him. Because if we adore ourselves, we die in the asphyxiation of our little self; if we adore the riches of this world, they take possession of us and enslave us; if we adore the god of appearances and get drunk on waste, sooner or later life itself will ask us for the bill. “” Let us remember this: – exhorts the Pontiff – whoever adores God does not become a slave to anyone. Let us rediscover the prayer of adoration: it frees us and restores us to our dignity as children. Not slaves. In addition to the primacy of God, the Eucharist calls us to the love of the brothers. This Bread is the sacrament of love par excellence. It is Christ who offers himself and breaks for us and asks us to do the same, so that our life may be ground wheat and become bread that feeds our brothers. The rich man of the Gospel fails in this task; he lives in opulence and feasts abundantly without even noticing the silent cry of poor Lazarus, who lies exhausted at his door. It was the rich man who dug an abyss between him and Lazarus during his earthly life and now, in eternal life, that abyss remains “.
