The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, praised this Thursday, during the presentation of the Puerta del Sol Nativity Scene, the “revolutionary” message of Jesus, claimed the “universal Catholic roots” and defended that “however more hate”, “more love” is necessary.
At the Real Casa de Correos, where the regional government’s activities for Christmas have also been presented, the Madrid leader has maintained that “Jesus brings a message of hope and trust, even in the midst of the most atrocious acts, his message was revolutionary, a before and after in the History of Humanity.”
“Our Catholic, universal roots remind us that men are born, above all, free. That is the key to Christian civilization: man is free even to say no to God, even to the most absolute evil that is terrorism.” “But there is also our hope. If we are free to do the worst, we are also free to do the best, to do good, and even be heroes,” remarked the head of the Madrid Executive.
For the president, “it is precisely in the most difficult moments” when society is put “to the test” and it is when we have to “be strong, look inside” and find “that feeling that cannot be explained in words but that moves the world”. “It is love and hope, which draw out the best in us to continue living with our best version. The more hate, the more love. The more anger, we respond with greatness,” she stated below.
Ayuso has focused on the fact that we are not in “easy times” because, although “they never were,” now life together “has become very complicated.” “And that is why I ask to be that best version of ourselves and never lose faith and hope in the miracle of life, which begins every morning. We must know that we are all unique and irreplaceable, that as difficulties come The joys come. And that in the end, everything will turn out well,” he noted.
At the same time, the president of the Community has defended that we are not alone because “Christian humanism”, which underpins “liberal democracy”, maintains that everyone is “responsible for each other” and that is why we must protect ourselves, take care of yourself and not “leave anyone behind.” She considers that “responsibility is freedom” and has maintained that “the Child God who is born in Bethlehem” made “the promise of freedom that Christian culture brings, the most profound in History.”
For this reason, he took the opportunity to thank those who “care” and “protect, patrolling the streets or on duty in hospitals, or the many mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers, caregivers, neighbors and friends.” Furthermore, she gave thanks for living “in a rule of law that is born from that way of seeing life, the daughter of Greece, Rome and Judeo-Christian culture.”
For the president, it is “a Christian perspective” that makes “one aware that nothing that happens to other men” is “alien” and leaves the “promise of the resurrection, that death is not the final”. “It doesn’t matter whether you have faith or not, because we have the freedom to believe what we want. It is enough to be heirs of this culture and know how to leave it as an inheritance to those who come later,” she said.
