Pope Francis said in his mass that there are many “Christs discarded with a white glove” such as “unborn children, the elderly who have been left alone, in nursing homes, the unvisited sick, the ignored disabled, young people who feel a great interior emptiness without no one really hears his cry of pain”
Pope Francis presided over the Palm Sunday Mass today, one day after leaving the hospital due to bronchitis, and in his homily he defended the “abandoned” of the world: “No one can be marginalized,” he said before thousands of faithful and with the voice still weak during this Eucharist that opens Holy Week.
«Abandoned Jesus asks us to have eyes and a heart for the abandoned. For us, disciples of the Abandoned, no one can be marginalized; no one can be abandoned to his fate », encouraged the Pope before a crowded Saint Peter’s Square.
In his first public appearance, after three days hospitalized for bronchitis at the age of 86, Francis, covered in a long white coat, meditated on the words of Jesus of Nazareth on the cross: “My God, my God, why did you have you given up?”
But, he maintained, there are also many “Christs discarded with a white glove” such as “unborn children, the elderly who have been left alone, in nursing homes, the unvisited sick, the ignored disabled, young people who feel a great inner emptiness without anyone listening. really his cry of pain».
