The first point we have a responsibility to expose the evil we should not
cover up, we should not use a diplomatic language to try to compromise
but we have to be very clear to say: this is an evil thing, this is injustice.
Again I quote the book of Isaiah where it is mentioned: "Woe to those who
call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for
darkness and put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." Facts are speaking,
we should reveal facts not in emotional language but real facts and
through facts we can win many people, and many people of good will.
Number four, we have to overcome evil with good. We should not use in
our struggle for our rights the weapons of darkness. We have our own
weapons: our weapons are love, and the Lord Jesus Christ is teaching us
the power of love. He told us to love our enemies, to bless those who curse
us, and to pray for those who persecute us. The power of objectivity, when
we use objectivity then we can overcome the evil thing and the power of
resilience and endurance. Sometimes we stand for our rights and
something temporarily to happen and we stop our struggle: we have to
continue until we have our rights in full; don't accept partial solution for
our struggle for justice and equality.
Lastly we should have confidence and joy and hope, confidence and joy
and hope. Confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ, as we read in the book of
prayer today that is: the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. This is
the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ for the Church, "I am with you
always even to the end of age." We struggle with pain for those who
suffer, but also with joy: we rejoice that they suffer for the sake of Christ.
And I remind you what St Peter said: "but rejoice to the extent that you
partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may
also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of
Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you."
Also with hope, we should not lose hope and even in the darkest case we
should have hope in the light to come. "In the world you will have
tribulations but be of good cheer I have overcome the world." We should
keep our dreams alive that is the one way we will enjoy our equality and
we will enjoy justice. We have to be sure that is: the sun of justice will
shine to Egypt and to every place; that is everyone to feel that he is equal
with the other.
May our Lord Jesus Christ help us to be a witness to the good and to
continue our fight for the justice and peace until the truth ..
