In the institutional process held every three years, Caritas Argentina organizes the “2021 Journey” event. The Pope was involved in the event spiritually through video messages. He told the participants that in today’s world, this initiative is an experience of embarking on a journey, listening to oneself and discerning how to specifically love.
(Vatican News Network)The “2021 Journey” is a moment of collective discrimination at different stages. This event, which is held every three years, is aimed at the pastors of Caritas Argentina, staff in different fields at parish, parish and national level, project leaders and missionary partners. It aims to reflect and listen to each other. Under the light of God, assess current and future challenges.
Pope Francis took this opportunity to greet the participants with a video message. He said: “The journey of 2021 is a spiritual process that we conduct every three years. It is an experience of’going out’, listening to each other, and discerning how to love and serve more specifically based on time and circumstances. Distinguish the signals of the times and places.”
The organizer of the event wrote that today, during the COVID-19 pandemic, this “journey” provides an opportunity to share learned experiences, encourage each other and rekindle the spirit of service, and find insight into today’s human needs through hands, eyes and heart. And the corresponding reply. Therefore, we “have to dream together, overcome adversity and discern new paths”.
The organizer explained, “The 2021 Journey invites us to travel in everyone’s heart, praying, grateful, praying, and finding peace and comfort in the one who makes everything new. He said to us,’Whoever you are the smallest person to me What my brothers and sisters did is what they did to me’. Journey 2021 calls on us to walk together, just like missionary apostles.
The Caritas Argentina stated that the “2021 Journey” has two processes: first, the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph the Great and the Statue of the Infant Jesus patrol each region and parish, and patrol the cities and towns, aiming to “awaken that Joy and hope derived from folk religious sentiment.” On the other hand, the pastoral discrimination of each group will bring suggestions and requirements, which “help us recognize the signs that God has given to each place, and continue to in-depth study the guidelines of the church’s charitable pastoral work.”
