Today is a joyful day. There will certainly be the time in which we will have to offer our sufferings and even our own death to the Lord. However, today is a joyful day: we remember John Paul II.
Here my humble contribution to his memory.
One day of several years ago, I was watching one of his discourses on TV. There was the usual crowd in Saint Peter's square, continually interrupting with enthusiastic rounds of applause.
At a specific point he clearly emphasised the following sentence:
Lasciate parlare Cristo!
and stopped, looking at the crowd. There was no response. Just silence. And he continued with his discourse.
I think that repeating the exhortation again today is important, dear readers. It is addressed to each of us:
Let Christ speak!
