【教皇、マルセイユ訪問】「教会、そして欧州には、”信仰の飛躍”が求められている」市内のスタジアムでのミサで

(翻訳・編集「カトリック・あい」南條俊二)

Pope Francis encouraged us to see the movement of faith in the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, noting that God “inconveniences us, sets us in motion, and makes us leap.”

“We want to be Christians who encounter God in prayer, and our brothers and sisters in love”, he said, “Christians who leap, pulsate, and receive the fire of the Holy Spirit and then allow ourselves to be set afire by the questions of our day, by the challenges of the Mediterranean, by the cry of the poor – and by the ‘holy utopias’ of fraternity and peace that wait to be realized.”

The Pope concluded his homily with a prayer to Mary, Notre Dame de la Garde, asking her to watch over our lives, guard France and all of Europe, and “cause us to leap in the Spirit.”
