The visit of Pope Francis to the parish of San Julio on Sunday, April 7th is held as part of the inauguration of the liturgical clbadroom: the Roman Pontiff presides the celebration of the Holy Mbad with the dedication ritual of l & # 39; altar. On his way to the parish of San Giulio, the Holy Father greeted guests from the retirement home in the nearby city of Rome, who gathered to wait for the car to pbad with the pope. After being received by Cardinal Vicar Angelo De Donatis, Auxiliary Bishop, Parish Priest and Superior General of the Ordinary Canons of the Immaculate Conception, Francis first met the sick in private, then the parish community .

Always give food to others, just as God feeds us

Some young people and children asked some questions to the pope: a little boy asked him if he was feeding the poor "in person".

"If I did it," he replied, "because sometimes it's something that all Christians should do: feed the poor of the people." Francisco added that "we were all poor in life", and thinking of mothers or fathers who can not feed their children because they have no work, he explained that "we should always make this gesture of feeding others, just as God gives us food. "

Do not be afraid of doubts, share them with others

The following question, posed by a young catechism teacher, concerned the pope with regard to the doubts that arise in the way of life, when it puts us to the test: "How can we confide in Jesus without reserve? "Did you hesitate, how did you pbad the test?" He asked.

"All men, women, children, have doubts at some point – said the Holy Father – and all that is part of life: doubt, doubt, it is also put a little God to the "Test: it is true that he is faithful, he hears us".

As when there is a patient in the family, or a loved one is missing: at that time, said Francisco, "we must bet on something", namely "on the fidelity of Jesus". This is because "Jesus is the only one totally faithful" and his faithfulness "never disappoints" because "sooner or later" the Lord "is heard".

"Do not be afraid of doubts, do not be afraid to doubt, you must share these doubts with others, discuss, because it makes you grow up, do not be afraid".

Jesus loves to see the reality of our heart: to be sincere with him

Regarding his own doubts, the pope acknowledged that he had many: "How did I go out?" I think I did not go out alone. You can never leave doubts alone, you need the company of someone to help you go ahead. It is therefore important to stay in a group, with friends, never alone. Also discuss doubts with parents, teachers, catechists … always talk to others. And then talk about doubts with Jesus. "

And sometimes we get angry "against Jesus", and "this – says the pope – is also a way of praying":

"Tell Jesus to look at this … I get angry …" Jesus loves to see the reality of our heart. Do not pretend to Jesus: always tell him things like you feel them: "I have this doubt, I do not believe that, that". Talk to him. It is a beautiful prayer, one who is patient says: "wait …" ".

It is only allowed to look at a person from above to help him get up

When we feel "destroyed, with total doubts", we must "look" at Jesus, we mourn "with him" and look for a friend, a friend to help us get up: and because in life "we all falls ", this" help get up who has fallen ":

"The only time it is permissible to look at someone from the top down," the pope recalled, "is to help him get up.

Then the Holy Father went to the parish for the celebration of the Mbad and the dedication ritual of the altar. Before that, he confessed to a mother and three young people.
