Archbishop of Madrid<\/strong>
Today, with the Gospel in our arms, with mercy in our hearts, we approach this church of Santa Mar\u00eda of Montserrat of the Spaniards to \u201ctake possession,\u201d as we say colloquially. It hurts me to take possession. It hurts me that this language is so pervasive and remains in the heart. Christ does not call us to possess anything, but to accept the supreme poverty, which is to lean only on him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Archbishop of Madrid<\/strong>
It will help us to remember that this church, where I began my ministry, had a main purpose of a place of welcome and hospitality to the Spanish pilgrims in Rome, especially the poor and the sick. Without them, there is no way. Today, it is Christ who takes possession because we want him to dwell more in us and to be the road we travel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
