His gestures have always made big impressions, but if any will go down in history, it's this one.<\/p>\n
Beneath the rain, with a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit, and in front of an imposing and deserted St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis sent a message to all of humanity in light of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> WE FIND OURSELVES AFRAID AND LOST<\/p>\n No war could obtain what this pandemic has obtained: a desolate St. Peter's Square, dominated by an unrelenting silence.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> OUR FA\u00c7ADES FALL AWAY<\/p>\n Pope Francis speaks to the world, not distinguishing between creeds. He says this difficult time has exposed society's vulnerabilities and false certainties.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> WE DID NOT STOP<\/p>\n Amid the storm and in front of suffering, where the true development of society is measured, one discovers the need to be united.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> THE TIME OF OUR JUDGEMENT<\/p>\n Pope Francis' face expresses the emotions of all humanity: fear, sadness and hope. In the solitude of night, in this quasi-apocalyptic scene, he asks God to stop the storm.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> This scene will undoubtedly remain engraved in the memory of humanity. The world will remember a pope who accepts that \u201cour faith is weak\u201d and that \u201cwe are afraid,\u201d but who nonetheless stands firm through the storm.<\/p>\n Daniel D\u00edaz Vizzi March 31, 2020. He speaks to the world, without distinguishing between religious beliefs. He says this difficult time has exposed vulnerabilities and false certainties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":18020,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[158],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sSWxsx-sZDk","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bfrasiurbietorbieng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bfrasiurbietorbiint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46816"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nWe have realized that we are in the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time, important and needed.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThick darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities. It has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void, that stops everything as it passes by. We feel it in the air. We notice in people's gestures. Their glances give them away. We find ourselves afraid and lost.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nIn this storm, the fa\u00e7ade of those stereotypes with which we camouflaged our egos, always worrying about our image, has fallen away. We carried on unperturbed, thinking we would stay healthy in a world that was sick.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWe have gone ahead at breakneck speed, feeling powerful and able to do anything. Greedy for profit, we let ourselves get caught up in things, and lured away by haste. (...) We were not shaken by wars or injustice across the world, nor did we listen to the cry of the poor or of our ailing planet.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYou are calling on us to seize this time of trial as a time of choosing. It is not the time of your judgment, but of our judgment: a time to choose what matters and what passes away, a time to separate what is necessary from what is not.<\/em><\/p>\n
