Pray for Catholics (1)

Alongside the recent attacks
"Pray for all the saints" (Ephesians 8, 16), that is to say to all the baptized, for all our brothers in faith. This exhortation of St. Paul has universal value. It is a requirement of charity well understood and well lived. The commandment to love our neighbor (cf. Matthew 22, 39) extends to all men, especially as Jesus taught us to push the charity to love our enemies: "And I tell you Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you "(Matthew 4, 44).
But it is logical that we liked especially those with whom we have deep affinities, as (read more ) is the case of those with whom we share the same faith, the same sacraments and the same government of the pope. It is also moving to see how Paul does not lack in his letters, to give new Christians or Christian families precise, asking that the news is widely reported. We see that as the baptized are a family in which everything that relates to any interested others. "If one member suffers all members suffer with him, if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it" (1 Corinthians 12, 26). The fact that
there one billion two hundred million Catholics worldwide, not hundreds, no longer allows this kind of intimate communication. The fact remains that we should focus specifically and primarily to events that concern our brothers and sisters, we Catholics. It would be anomalous to live charity toward non-Catholics and to neglect them, to be highly mobilized social problems facing our world and ignore the needs of our brothers in faith. However, it must be admitted, we are often unaware of what is really happening, there is a sort of indifference to the exact situation Catholics who often have to struggle alone and, in addition to a precarious financial situation, suffers from a moral isolation.
At least that tragic events do not shine a spotlight on them, as now with the Islamic persecution of Christians around the world, tolerant Muslims or Christians, as the Prime Minister of Punjab, recently assassinated. But once the emotion has passed, the Catholics were again buried in oblivion.
