Palm Sunday Homily: 'In Jesus' Wounds, the Pain of the Poor, Political Prisoners, and Exiles is Reflected'
The auxiliary bishop of Managua, Monsignor Silvio Báez, stated that Jesus' passion reflects a history of injustice and abuse of power, and warned that no one can use God's name to justify repression or fear.
TL;DR
- Jesus' passion is a narrative of betrayal, injustice, and legal irregularities orchestrated by religious and political powers.
- Jesus is presented as the Just One, unjustly condemned, who maintained his integrity and love until death.
- The crucifixion demonstrates a God of powerlessness, beauty, silence, and open arms, embodying mercy and forgiveness.
- God's solidarity is evident with the suffering of the poor, victims of repression, political prisoners, and exiles.
- The homily calls for building a fraternal, peaceful, and just world based on God's love and mercy.
