86 | Maria Grazia Rossi | 03/27/2020 | «Venuta la sera» (Mc 4,35). Così inizia il Vangelo che abbiamo ascoltato. Da settimane sembra che sia scesa la sera. Fitte tenebre si sono addensate sulle nostre piazze, strade e città; si sono impadronite delle nostre vite riempiendo tutto di un silenzio assordante e di un vuoto desolante, che paralizza ogni cosa al suo passaggio: si sente nell’aria, si avverte nei gesti, lo dicono gli sguardi. Ci siamo trovati impauriti e smarriti. Come i discepoli del Vangelo siamo stati presi alla sprovvista da una tempesta inaspettata e furiosa. Ci siamo resi conto di trovarci sulla stessa barca, tutti fragili e disorientati, ma nello stesso tempo importanti e necessari, tutti chiamati a remare insieme, tutti bisognosi di confortarci a vicenda. Su questa barca… ci siamo tutti. Come quei discepoli, che parlano a una sola voce e nell’angoscia dicono: «Siamo perduti» (v. 38), così anche noi ci siamo accorti che non possiamo andare avanti ciascuno per conto suo, ma solo insieme. Translation: “When evening had come” (Mk 4:35). The Gospel passage we have just heard begins like this. For weeks now it has been evening. Thick darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities; it has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void, that stops everything as it passes by; we feel it in the air, we notice in people’s gestures, their glances give them away. We find ourselves afraid and lost. Like the disciples in the Gospel we were caught off guard by an unexpected, turbulent storm. We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other. On this boat… are all of us. Just like those disciples, who spoke anxiously with one voice, saying “We are perishing” (v. 38), so we too have realized that we cannot go on thinking of ourselves, but only together can we do this. | Papa Francesco https://www.vaticannews.va/it/papa/news/2020-03/papa-francesco-omelia-testo-integrale-preghiera-pandemia.html Link to the translation: https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2020-03/urbi-et-orbi-pope-coronavirus-prayer-blessing.html | Pope | Italian | darkness, storm | pandemic | Comment on 1b: managing the coronavirus outbreak is weathering a storm | Alternative to war metaphor | ||||||||||||||||||
