Life after the Pandemic with 杏MAP导航 Francis
By Sr Bernadette Mary Reis, fsp
杏MAP导航 Francis did not remain silent or unseen while the world was overtaken by a silent and unseen virus. He immediately made his voice heard through various ways and allowed the entire world to see their shepherd at prayer.
鈥�In the early months of 2020, 杏MAP导航 Francis frequently reflected on the coronavirus pandemic as it took hold on the human family.鈥� Thus says Cardinal Michael Czerny in the preface to which offers 鈥渆ight significant spoken and written texts鈥� of 杏MAP导航 Francis from 27 March to 22 April.
Direction and hope
This book responds to two objectives, writes Cardinal Czerny. 鈥淭he first is to suggest direction, keys, and guidelines for rebuilding a better world that might be born from this crisis of humanity. The second objective is 鈥� to sow hope.鈥�
The silent and the unseen
Included in this collection are words directed to many who are usually silent and unseen. On Easter Sunday, 杏MAP导航 Francis was thinking of people engaged in 鈥淧opular Movements鈥�, at the grassroots levels on the 鈥減eripheries of humanity鈥�. To him, they are 鈥渟ocial poets because, from the forgotten peripheries where you live, you create admirable solutions for the most pressing problems afflicting the marginalized.鈥�
Another precious message included in this collection is his message to 鈥渢he world of street newspapers and especially their vendors.鈥�
We find a precious pearl in his Easter Urbi et orbi address where we can all find ourselves in one way or another reflected in the 杏MAP导航鈥檚 thought.
