“What do we need like sociedad to realize that by allowing these events we are destroying ourselves little by little? How many more dead girls? How many more lynchings? How many more injustices? When will we understand that violence only generates more violence? the text published this Sunday.

In it Easter Sundaythe Iglesia Catholic Church called on its faithful to, just as Jesus did, push aside the stone that oppresses a to sociedad and to the hearts to make way for the fullness of life.

In this sense, he warns that the event highlights several of the problems that have fractured the social fabric that concerns the state authorities, to the political class, to the security institutions, and of course, also to the citizens and the families.

“Above us, we have placed a tombstone of “selfishness, of fear and bitterness, of suffering and death, which closes the path to joy and hope,” which blocks the space for a better future, which prevents build a society in which the common good is prioritized, that dignifies life, and that gives certainty to our children, adolescents and young people,” he says.

For this reason, he points out that when commemorating the Passion y Death of Jesus, There is an attempt to enclose its history “behind a large stone in a tomb”, which Pope Francis refers to as representing “the pitfalls of death”, which we find in the failures and fears that prevent us from achieving the good we desire. .

He adds that the story does not end there, and this Easter Sunday remember that Jesus is alive, just like his message, which says that that stone is not invincible, that that stone does not have to mark the end or dictate a favorable sentence for those who prefer violence about peace and death about life.
