APOSTOLIC JOURNEY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
TO ECUADOR, BOLIVIA AND PARAGUAY
(5-13 JULY 2015)
HOLY MASS AT CAMPO GRANDE
HOMILY OF THE HOLY FATHER
Ñu Guazú, Asunción (Paraguay) Sunday, 12 July 2015 (Part 2)
….Jesus does not send them out as men of influence, landlords, officials armed with rules and
regulations. Instead, he makes them see that the Christian journey is simply about changing hearts.
One’s own heart first all, and then helping to transform the hearts of others. It is about learning to
live differently, under a different law, with different rules. It is about turning from the path of
selfishness, conflict, division and superiority, and taking instead the path of life, generosity and
love. It is about passing from a mentality which domineers, stifles and manipulates to a mentality
which welcomes, accepts and cares.
These are two contrasting mentalities, two ways of approaching our life and our mission.
How many times do we see mission in terms of plans and programs. How many times do we see
evangelization as involving any number of strategies, tactics, maneuvers, techniques, as if we could
convert people on the basis of our own arguments. Today the Lord says to us quite clearly: in the
mentality of the Gospel, you do not convince people with arguments, strategies or tactics. You
convince them by simply learning how to welcome them.
The Church is a mother with an open heart. She knows how to welcome and accept, especially those
in need of greater care, those in greater difficulty. The Church, as desired by Jesus, is the home of
hospitality. And how much good we can do, if only we try to speak this language of hospitality, this
language of receiving and welcoming. How much pain can be soothed, how much despair can be
allayed in a place where we feel at home! This requires open doors, especially the doors of our heart.
Welcoming the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the prisoner (Mt 25:34-37), the
leper and the paralytic. Welcoming those who do not think as we do, who do not have faith or who
have lost it. And sometimes, we are to blame. Welcoming the persecuted, the unemployed.
Welcoming the different cultures, of which our earth is so richly blessed. Welcoming sinners,
because each one of us is also a sinner.
So often we forget that there is an evil underlying our sins, that precedes our sins. There is a bitter
root which causes damage, great damage, and silently destroys so many lives. There is an evil
which, bit by bit, finds a place in our hearts and eats away at our life: it is isolation. Isolation which
can have many roots, many causes. How much it destroys our life and how much harm it does us. It
makes us turn our back on others, God, the community. It makes us closed in on ourselves. From
here we see that the real work of the Church, our mother, should not be mainly about managing
works and projects, but rather about learning to experience fraternity with others. A welcome-filled
fraternity is the best witness that God is our Father, for “by this all will know that you are my
disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn 13:35). (To be continued)

“Understanding the Moral. Ethical and Practical Complexities of Assisted Suicide” The annual conference of the Catholic Health Association of British Columbia will be held on September 17th at the Executive Plaza
Hotel in Coquitlam. Our theme this year is “Understanding the Moral. Ethical and Practical Complexities of Assisted Suicide”. Our speakers
include internationally renowned ethicist Margaret Somerville from McGill University, José Pereira, Palliative Care Physician from
Ottawa and Drs. David Unger and Romayne Gallagher from Providence Health Care in Vancouver. The day will begin with Mass
celebrated by Archdiocesan Vicar for Health Care, Monsignor Bernard Rossi. The fee for the day is $150. Everyone is welcome to
attend. Further details can be found at www.chabc.bc.ca. The Supreme Court of Canada decided in February that our country’s laws
must change to legalize assisted suicide. This conference will explore the implications of this decision, what it means for Catholics and
what we can all do to counter it.
