WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER
It’s the ruling class which closes the door to God’s way of salvation. That’s why Jesus has such strong words with the leaders of his day – they argue, they try to trick him and catch him out because they are resisting his offer of salvation. Jesus says to them, “I don’t understand you! You are like those children who say ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn’. What do you want?” We want to save ourselves and remain closed to the way of the Lord”. (Santa Marta, 3 october 2014)
