"Arrogance leads to a degeneration of love, to abuse of others, to make the loved one suffer. I think of sick love that turns into violence, and how many women are victims of violence today. This is not love. The Lord loves us means appreciating the person around us and respecting his freedom, loving him as he is, not as we want him to be, for free ".
The Pope said this to the Regina Caeli.
"I am following with particular concern - the Pope said - the events that are happening in Jerusalem. I pray that it will be a place of encounter and not of violent clashes, a place of prayer and peace. I invite everyone to seek shared solutions so that multi-religious identity and multiculturalism of the Holy City is respected and brotherhood may prevail. Violence only generates violence. Enough with clashes! "
The Pope spoke of the
beatification of Rosario Livatino
. "Today in Agrigento was beatified Rosario Angelo Livatino, martyr of justice and faith in his service to the community as an upright judge who never allowed himself to be bribed. to condemn but to redeem. His work always placed him under the protection of God, which is why he became a witness to the Gospel, even to his heroic death. May his example be for everyone, especially the magistrates, an incentive to be loyal defenders of legality and of freedom ". The Pope said this to the Regina Caeli.
