Giorgio Borgoglio spoke
of God in the periphery!Until we make
the Periphery the centre, we fail to respond to the Cry
of the poor which
is the cry
of God.
We are gathered here to respond to our inner
voice that proceeds from God, the poor, the daridhra naraayana. It
does not
mean God
is poor
but the poor
is God.
(Celano )
We have a Franciscan as head of the Church who said that his name and mission is Francis! - The Church often felt the need to go back to the Poverty of Jesus as opposed to the earthly riches of the Church
The followers of Francis had and still have
great temptation to get back into the life style of Assisi – to become the bosses, to
be in higher
positions, to have comfortable
establishments, to have
regular income, to have self
sufficiency, to enter into some
sort of money involving,
comfort based life
style. This tension between charism and Institutionalism Captures the attention of every
Franciscan to this
day.Hence this disturbing theme for us
to pray to God
of the Poor, to save
us from Temptation
