Vatican City: Pope Francis has said that it is the displeasure or hatred of the bishop of the diocese or some of the pagan nations. On Thursday, February 27, the Pope was delivering a message of repentance to the clergy at St. John the Lateran Basilica, the diocese of Rome. The Pope said that in the context of his experience with the clergy in his personal life as a bishop and clergyman, the clergyman was referring to the bishop’s personal relationship with the bishop and others in the field of faith.
When the Christian prayer life ceases, the priest cannot discern hope and hope. Thus, the life of a clergyman can lead to impotent despair. This is a dangerous thing that breaks God’s call. There is no place for protest and despair in the life of faith, even when things are not going well for us and our people. The pope exhorted the clergy that there should be no protest in prayer and in the spiritual life, and that we should not protest with God or the authorities.
It is only when the spirit of protest is inherent that the person denies the relationship, alienates himself from the authorities and the clergy, and turns away from life. One who prays does not have to be indifferent to God or stay away from Him. We are obliged to submit our requests to God humbly. The Pope pointed out that the disciples prayed to Christ at the Sea of Galilee.
They did not protest, but complained. Do you not see that we are perishing? (Mark 4, 35-45). In the same way, He wanted His disciples to be direct participants in the work of the Kingdom of God. Disciples are not to be seen but to be active participants. The pope said that if he became a spectator, there would be much to murmur and criticize. The condition of leaving the bishop is dangerous. The person’s disagreement is not with administrative matters or with impersonal style.
Christ must be at the center of anything. The pope advised us that if there is no Christ, we will fall into a state of power disillusionment and impose anything on others. The pope’s diocese, Cardinal Angelo de Donatis, Vicar General of the Diocese of San Jose and the Basilica of the Diocese of Saint John the Basilica, read this sermon during his ministry because he was not physically able to attend.
