Milan, August 15 (LaPresse) – "The Resurrection enters our world even today. Words and choices of death seem to prevail, but God’s life interrupts despair through tangible experiences of fraternity, through new gestures of solidarity."
So said Pope Leo XIV during the homily for the Mass of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary held at the Pontifical Parish of Saint Thomas of Villanova in Castel Gandolfo.
"Before being our final destiny, the Resurrection in fact transforms – soul and body – the way we dwell on earth. Mary’s song, her Magnificat, strengthens the hope of the humble, the hungry, the faithful servants of God. These are the men and women of the Beatitudes, who, even in tribulation, already see the invisible: the powerful cast down from their thrones, the rich sent away empty, the promises of God fulfilled. These are experiences," the Pontiff reminded, "that in every Christian community we must all be able to say we’ve lived. They seem impossible, but the Word of God still comes to light. When bonds are born through which we oppose good to evil, life to death, then we see that ‘nothing is impossible for God’."
