POPE ASKS TO 150,000 IN ST PETER'S BE AFRAID OF GOD


(AGI) - Vatican City, Oct. 19 - At least 150,000 faithful gathered in St. Peter's square this morning for the habitual Wednesday's meeting with pope Benedict XVI. This morning's rain did not scare pilgrims and the pope linked the change of weather with his religious speech dedicated to the fear of God. "Weather is penitential today and so we can read more attentively psalm 129, De Profundis, one of the favoured ones of people's devotion. Then he read the most famous verse of this prayer: "Oh God if thou take into account our sins who will be able to survive? But pardon is near you. So we'll have your fear". He said that it was significant that fear was generated not by chastisement but by pardon. God's generous and disarming magnanimity must cause in us a holy fear" he said. According to Benedict XVI God is not an inexorable sovereign who condemns the guilty but a loving father that we must love not fearing a punishment but for its goodness ready to pardon" he said. Then the pope made a call to Christians in order that they attend confessionals more assiduously. "We have a good Lord who wants to pardon everybody. A humble confession of our sins that dissolves them" he said.

2. we'll have your fear.

They shout about love
but when push comes to shove
they live for things they're afraid of.
And the knowledge that they fear
is a weapon to be held against them.
