A few words this month
Fr. Sawano
On the Holy Year (Part 5)
In the context of the Jubilee
Year, the Holy Father speaks especially of those for whom he bears particular
concern.
１）First, he refers to the sick and to those who live in
difficult circumstances, experiencing a sense of powerlessness. He urges that a
sign of hope be extended to them, and that they may receive comprehensive and
compassionate care.
２）Secondly, he speaks of the youth. “They are, by their very
presence, a sign of hope, and yet they themselves are in need of signs of
hope.” The Holy Father calls on society as a whole to ensure that young people
are supported in their studies and employment, lest their dreams be
extinguished and they fall into despair or self-destructive behavior.
３）As for the elderly, he notes that they often feel loneliness
or a sense of abandonment, and affirms that they, too, are most deserving of
signs of hope. He emphasizes: “I am thinking especially of grandparents, who
represent the transmission of faith and the wisdom of life to the younger
generations.”
