Beautiful message from Pope Leo XIV
“Brothers, sisters...
I speak to you, especially to those who no longer believe, no longer hope, no longer pray, because they think God has left.
To those who are fed up with scandals, with misused power, with the silence of a Church that sometimes seems more like a palace than a home.
I, too, was angry with God
I, too, saw good people die, children suffer, grandparents cry without medicine.
And yes... there were days when I prayed and only felt an echo.
But then I discovered something:
God doesn’t shout. God whispers.
And sometimes He whispers from the mud, from pain, from a grandmother who feeds you without having anything.
I don’t come to offer you perfect faith.
I come to tell you that faith is a walk with stones, puddles, and unexpected hugs.
I’m not asking you to believe in everything.
I’m asking you not to close the door. Give a chance to the God who waits for you without judgment.
I’m just a priest who saw God in the smile of a woman who lost her son... and yet she cooked for others.
That changed me.
So if you’re broken, if you don’t believe, if you’re tired of the lies... come anyway. With your anger, your doubt, your dirty backpack. No one here will ask you for a VIP card.
Because this Church, as long as I breathe, will be a home for the homeless, and a rest for the weary.
God doesn’t need soldiers.
He needs brothers.
And you, yes, you... are one of them.”
Robert Prevost (Leo XIV)
教宗利奧十四世充滿啟發、力量和感動的信息
「親愛的弟兄姊妹們，
我向你們說話，特別是那些失去信仰、失去希望、不再祈禱的人，因為他們認為天主已經遠離。
對於那些對醜聞感到厭倦的人，對於那些目睹權力被濫用、對於一個有時看起來更像宮殿而非家的教會保持沉默的人。
我曾經也對天主感到憤怒。
我也曾看到善良的人離世，孩童受苦，祖父母因缺乏藥物而流淚。
是的……也曾有過我祈禱卻只感受到迴音的日子。
但後來我發現了一件事：
天主不會大聲喊叫，祂會輕聲細語。
有時祂會在泥濘中、在痛苦中、在一位什麼都沒有卻仍然施予愛的祖母身上輕聲細語。
我不是來給你完美的信仰。
我只是想告訴你，信仰是一段充滿試煉、困難與意想不到恩寵的旅程。
我不要求你相信一切。
我只希望你不要關上心門。給等待你的天主一個機會，祂從不論斷。
我只是一位司鐸，在一位失去孩子卻仍然為他人烹煮食物的母親微笑中看見了天主。
那改變了我。
所以，如果你破碎了，如果你不相信，如果你厭倦了謊言……
請仍然來吧。帶著你的憤怒、你的疑慮、你的沉重負擔。
這裡沒有人會要求你出示貴賓卡。
因為只要我還活著，這個教會將會是一個無家者的家，一個疲憊者的歇息之地。
天主不需要戰士。
祂需要弟兄。
而你，是的，你……
就是其中之一。」
羅伯特·普雷沃斯特（教宗利奧十四世）
