Pope Francis at Mass in Turin: 'Found yourselves on the rock of God’s love'

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis celebrated Mass in Piazza Vittorio during his Apostolic Visit to Turin on Sunday, reminding all to found their lives upon the ‘rock’ which is Christ.

The Holy Father based his Sunday homily to the faithful of Turin on the Collect: “you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set up-on the sure foundation of the rock of your love”, saying that three im-portant aspects of the love of God are that it is ‘faithful’, it ‘recreates all things’, and is ‘stable and sure’.

Recalling the Psalm 'His love endures forever', Pope Francis said that Je-sus embodies the faithfulness of God’s love without limits or measure, since he is indeed 'the face of God’s mercy'.

The love of God recreates all things and renews them. The concrete ex-pression of this is the recognition of one’s limits and weaknesses, which is the 'door to pardon which renews us'. The sure sign of our transformation by God’s love is the ability to divest ourselves of rancor and hatred by putting on 'the vest of service and kindness to others'.

'The love of God', Pope Francis said, 'is stable and secure', as Jesus shows in the Gospel. He calms the storm of our lives by commanding the winds and sea. For the person at the point of surrender, the Lord 'comes to him and offers him the Rock of His Love'.

The Holy Father also encouraged the residents of Turin to 'not be para-lyzed by fear of the future and to search for security in passing things or in a closed model of society which tends to exclude rather than include'.

Concluding his homily, Pope Francis asked the Holy Spirit 'to help us be always mindful of this ‘rocky’ love which makes us stable and strong in the little and great sufferings' and 'to look to the future with hope'.

Como Peregrino, en silencio, contemplación, oración, Papa Francisco veneró el Santo Sudario de Turín (Radio Vaticana) Dentro de la catedral de Turín en penumbras, el domingo 21 de junio de 2015, Francisco veneró en silencio la misteriosa sábana sepulcral en la que envolvieron a un crucificado, con todos los si-gnos de la pasión de Jesús de Nazaret que refiere el Evangelio. El momento central de esta peregrinación del Papa, fue en absoluto silencio. Ni lecturas, ni discursos, ni cantos, ni música. Solo varios minutos de con-templación y oración delante del Santo Sudario, con algunos enfermos en silla de ruedas en primera fila. “El hombre de la Sábana Santa nos invita a contemplar a Jesús de Nazaret” dijo Francisco en un video men-saje en los días previos a su visita. “También yo me pongo con ustedes ante la Sábana Santa… no se trata simplemente de observar, sino de venerar; es una mirada de oración. Y diría aún más: es un dejarse mirar. Este rostro tiene los ojos cerrados, es el rostro de un difunto y, sin embargo, misteriosamente nos mira y, en el silencio, nos habla. Esta imagen –grabada en el lienzo– habla a nuestro corazón y nos lleva a subir al monte del Calvario, a mirar el madero de la cruz, a sumergirnos en el silencio elocuente del amor." "Así pues, dejémonos alcanzar por esta mirada, que no va en busca de nuestros ojos, sino de nuestro cora-zón. Escuchemos lo que nos quiere decir, en el silencio, sobrepasando la muerte misma. A través de la Sábana Santa nos llega la Palabra única y última de Dios: el Amor hecho hombre, encarnado en nuestra his-toria; el Amor misericordioso de Dios, que ha tomado sobre sí todo el mal del mundo para liberarnos de su dominio." "Este rostro desfigurado se asemeja a tantos rostros de hombres y mujeres heridos por una vida que no re-speta su dignidad, por guerras y violencias que afligen a los más vulnerables... Sin embargo, el rostro de la Sábana Santa transmite una gran paz; este cuerpo torturado expresa una majestad soberana. Es como si deja-ra trasparentar una energía condensada pero potente; es como si nos dijera: ten confianza, no pierdas la es-peranza; la fuerza del amor de Dios, la fuerza del Resucitado, todo lo vence”. El Obispo de Roma, sentado frente a la reliquia de Jesús miraba y bajaba la cabeza, en contemplación y oración, finalmente se persigno, se levantó y camino subiendo los escalones que lo separaban de la misteri-osa sábana y tocó el vidrio que la protege. Después de la misa y previamente a la oración del Ángelus dijo: “El Santo Sudario nos atrae hacia el rostro y el cuerpo martirizado de Jesús y, al mismo tiempo, nos empuja hacia el rostro de cada persona sufriente y injustamente perseguida. Nos empuja en la misma dirección del don de amor de Jesús. “El amor de Cristo nos apremia”.

PRAYER BEFORE MASS Almighty and ever-living God, I approach the sacra-ment of Your only-begotten Son Our Lord Jesus Christ. I come sick to the doctor of life, unclean to the fountain of mercy, blind to the radiance of eter-nal light, and poor and needy to the Lord of heaven and earth. Lord, in your great generosity, heal my sickness, wash away my defilement, enlighten my blindness, enrich my poverty, and clothe my naked-ness. May I receive the bread of angels, the King of kings and Lord of lords, with humble reverence, with the purity and faith, the repentance and love, and the determined purpose that will help to bring me to sal-vation. May I receive the sacrament of the Lord's Body and Blood, and its reality and power. Kind God, may I receive the Body of Your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, born from the womb of the Virgin Mary, and so be received into His mystical body and numbered among His members. Loving Father, as on my earthly pilgrimage I now receive Your beloved Son under the veil of a sacrament, may I one day see him face to face in glory, who lives and reigns with You for ever. Amen.

Saint Thomas Aquinas

THANKSGIVING AFTER MASS I thank you, holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God, who deigned to feast me, sinful and unworthy serv-ant, with the precious body and blood of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, not for any merit of mine, but only because of your merciful goodness. And I pray that this Holy Communion, far from condemning me to punishment, may bring about my pardon and sal-vation, encompassing me with the armor of faith and the shield of a good will. By it let my vices be done away, all lustful desires extinguished. May it advance me in charity, patience, humility, obedience, and every other virtue. Let it be strong defense against the wiles of all my enemies, visible and invisible, allay-ing for me every disturbance of flesh and spirit, bind-ing me firmly to you, the one true God, and bringing my last hour to a happy close. I pray, too, that it may be your pleasure to call my sinful self one day to that banquet, wonderful past all telling, where you, with your Son and the Holy Spirit, feast your saints with the vision of yourself, who are true light, the fulfill-ment of all desires, the joy that knows no ending, gladness unalloyed, and perfect bliss: through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Thomas Aquinas

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

O God, who through the grace of adoption chose us to be children of light,

grant, we pray, that we may not be wrapped

in the darkness of error but always be seen to stand in the bright light of truth.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
