MESSAGE OF THE POPE FOR THE FUNERAL OF CARDINAL MARTINI
Vatican City, 4 September 2012 (VIS) - The Pope has sent a message to the
archdiocese of Milan, the Society of Jesus, the relatives of Cardinal Carlo
Maria Martini, and "all those who loved and esteemed (him) and have chosen to
accompany him on his
final journey". The message was read out during the funeral of the late
cardinal, archbishop emeritus of Milan, Italy, by Cardinal Angelo Comastri,
the Pope's special envoy to the event.
"'Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path'. The Psalmist's words
encapsulate the entire existence of this generous and faithful pastor of the
Church. He lived as a man of God, who not only studied Sacred Scripture but
loved it intensely,
making it the light of his life that all things might be 'ad maiorem Dei
gloriam', for the greater glory of God. It was for this reason that he was
able to teach believers and seekers after truth that the only word worthy to
listen to, accept and follow
is that of God, because it leads everyone along the path of truth and love. He
lived with great openness of heart, never rejecting encounter and dialogue
with anyone, and giving a concrete response to the Apostle’s invitation
always 'to be ready
to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope'. He
lived with a spirit of profound pastoral charity, in keeping with his own
episcopal motto of 'Pro veritate adversa diligere', attentive to all situations
especially the most difficult, and lovingly close to the lost, the poor and
the suffering".
"May the Lord, who guided Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini throughout his life,
receive this tireless servant of the Gospel and of the Church in the heavenly
Jerusalem".
