Dear Father Gem: Since his election, we are seeing the kind
of person Pope Francis is and what drives him in his
preaching. Gods Mercy is at the core of his ministry. He
shows everybody, in a very tangible way, the endless capacity
of Gods mercy and forgiveness. No doubt, Pope Francis
represents a radical break from his predecessors. What do
you say?
Angelina, Parishioner
Dear Angelina: For someone to make a categorical claim that
Pope Francis represents a radical break from his predecessors
seems to me to be quite astonishing. You must be a fan! Yes, I
say astonishing because anyone who knows the teaching of
former popes can hear their voices echoed (sometimes quite
loudly) in the writing, homilies and even off-the-cuff remarks of
Pope Francis.
There are obvious differences in style between our current pope
and his predecessors, but a radical break? No way. The
substance is the same. It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the
teaching of the Church handed down to us from the Apostles.
One powerful example is Pope Francis teaching on mercy,
which he says is the ultimate and supreme act by which God
comes to meet us the fundamental law that dwells in the heart
of every person who looks sincerely into the eyes of his brothers
and sisters on the path of life, the bridge that connects God and
man, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever
despite our sinfulness (Misericordiae Vultus, #2). This is
radical teaching, to be sure, but it is not a break from the
teaching of earlier popes.
Pope Benedict XVI taught that mercy is the essence of
Christianity because it is the essence of God himself. God is
openness, acceptance, and dialogue. And in his relations with
us, sinful mankind, he is mercy, compassion, grace,
forgiveness. Our pope emeritus, who prefers to be called Father
Benedict, believes we are called to be people of mercy because
that is the greatest possible expression of our union with God
and with the entire human family.
St. John Paul II once wrote, Mercy is the central nucleus of the
evangelical message. Merciful love also illuminates the face
of the Church and shows itself both through the sacraments
especially the sacrament of penanceand through works of
charity. From divine mercy, which brings peace to hearts,
arises authentic peace for the world, peace between peoples, and
among various cultures and religions.
All three popes tell us that mercy begins with sharing our food
and drink with those who are hungry and thirsty. Mercy compels
us to clothe the naked and shelter the homeless, to visit the sick
and imprisoned, and to bury the dead. These very practical
actions, which we call corporal works of mercy, reveal the
fundamental fact of Gods love for us as it is manifested in the
life and ministry of Jesus Christ.
To feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty are the first two
corporal works of mercy. As Bishop Joseph Pepe writes in his
column, Letter from the Bishop: Catholic Charities of Southern
Nevada has cared for the needs of infants, children, families,
seniors and the homeless by providing food, shelter,
employment, and crisis intervention. They not only provide a
service but help others to live a life of dignity, deserving of all
peoples. And yet there are still hungry people including
children and elderly people right here in Las Vegas. The good
bishop says, Sharing your blessings with those less fortunate is
an expression of our gratitude for all God has given to us. But
how many more were not fed?
Throughout the world community (the family of nations),
millions of people are hungry and thirsty every day. According
to Catholic Relief Services (CRS), gains in reducing global
hunger have been nearly wiped out in recent years by sharply
increasing prices on some of the most basic foodstuffs in every
region of the world, and by the current global financial crisis.
Projections indicate that the global food price crisis will be long
term, and that the impact on poor people in developing countries
will be severe.
Pope Francis challenges us to respond to this crisis here at home
and around the globe. We are called to feed the hungry and give
drink to the thirsty as a fundamental requirement of our
Christian discipleship. We cannot proclaim the Good News of
our salvation unless we also share with our sisters and brothers
the food and drink they need to live full and healthy lives.
What can we do? We can pray for an end to hunger and thirst
wherever they are foundin our neighborhoods, in our state and
nation, and throughout the world. We can support our very own
St. Vincent de Paul food pantries, Catholic Charities agencies in
our diocese, and the international CRS. We can advocate for
laws and government policies that promote a just and equitable
distribution of the worlds food and water.
Jesus Christ is the face of the Fathers mercy, Pope Francis
teaches, in continuity with his predecessors and the holy Gospel.
Lets perform the corporal works of mercy. Lets be the face of
Jesus for others during this Lenten season and always!
