The homily of Rimini\u2019s bishop, monsignor Lambiasi, at the Holy Mass on August 23rd at the Meeting<\/p>\n
Rimini, August 23rd 2015 \u2013 \u201cTo believe means assimilate Jesus\u2019 person, to become yeast that ferments the pasta of society, salt that gives taste to all life. It is not about being self-centered, but rather missionaries, as Pope Francis is repeating continuously. \u201cWe need to go out, to go out and to offer everyone Gospel\u2019s joy. The homily of this morning Mass\u2019 celebrated by Rimini\u2019s bishop, monsignor Francesco Lambiasi, was all focused on what Pope Francis calls \u201coutput Church\u201d. A church that in front of the threat of persecution, avoids the temptation of \u201comologation and renouncing his identity\u201d or retreating in \u201csmall little closed ghettos self-defending\u201d but testifies Jesus, experiences the encounter with His person and hands it down \u201clike a flame ignites another flame\u201d.
\nMonsignor Lambiasi celebrated together with Michele Pennisi, arbishop of Monreale, Ibrahim Alsabagh, parish priest of Aleppo, Carlos Oliveiro, from Buenos Aires, Ignacio Carbajosa, from the University of Saint Damaso in Madrid, Stefano Alberto, from Catholic University in Milan, and CL\u2019s diocesan assistant of Rimini, Roberto Battaglia.
\nMonsignor Lambiasi began his homely commenting on John\u2019s Gospel and marking Jews\u2019 and disciples\u2019 disorientation toward Jesus\u2019 words: He descended from heaven, He, flash to eat and blood to drink. Among general confusion, Peter \u201c confesses Jesus\u2019 true image: He is God\u2019s face\u201d. A face whom we superimpose \u201cthe long shadow of our egoism, with the insatiable longing for power, belonging and appearance\u201d. \u201cInstead, Jesus is the totally Other our heart looks for, is, as Pope Francis said, the notice that responds to the desire of infinite present in every human heart\u201d. For this reason, \u201cto believe \u2013 reminded the bishop \u2013 consists in \u201cpassing on, from person to person, the experience of the encounter with Jesus\u201d. <\/p>\n
