The archbishop of Buenos Aires,
Monsignor Jorge García Cuerva
, encouraged adolescents and young students from different schools to be "salt and light of life" when presiding over the Mass for Education in the metropolitan cathedral, and asked them to
dream "of a “Argentina better
. ”
"If all of us who want a good, fair, supportive Argentina, get our act together, there are more of us.
We are more than the drug traffickers, we are more than the corrupt
. We are more than the selfish people who only think about their pockets. There are many of us who We want a better Argentina," he added, giving a social and topical nuance to his homily.
"Pope Francis once said 'make a mess', and in reality making
a mess means putting effort into life
, putting enthusiasm into it, putting life into it.
It doesn't matter all the same
. That's why live with enthusiasm," the religious said last Friday during the mass before the educational communities.
"I always say that Jesus, when we were born, lit a little flame in our hearts. Well, that little flame can never be extinguished, it is the flame of joy, the flame of hope, it is
the flame of the desire to live.
Don't turn off
.
Just as I told them 'don't lose your enthusiasm and drive', I tell them 'don't give up,'" the archbishop continued.
And pointing directly to the students, he encouraged them to bet on their dreams: "
Don't stop dreaming
. Dream of being happy. Dream of choosing the profession or job you want. And I ask us all to
dream of a better Argentina
."
"Because you surely heard a lot of
people saying 'this country is crap'
, 'we don't go out anymore', 'I want to leave'. And some of them only dream of leaving the country. No guys: Argentina is us" , he continued in a vibrant tone.
