Milan, Aug. 30 (LaPresse) – “For us too, it is not always easy to understand and accept God’s ways, especially when they are very far from our own. Then the temptation is to think, contrary to every logic of faith, that it is the Lord who is making a mistake, or worse still, that he is not listening to us or does not care about us. Faced with this uncertainty, Peter, despite his impulsiveness, teaches us two important things. The first is never to interrupt, not even in these moments, our dialogue with the Lord; rather, we should trustingly express to him even our difficulty in understanding what he asks of us. The second, however, is never to judge God’s actions, but rather to listen, with humility, in prayer, to what he is revealing to us through his actions, even when they do not correspond to our expectations.” Pope Leo XIV said this during the Angelus at Castel Gandolfo.
