FAUSTI - Jesus predicted the free hatred against the Just, Whom the disciples will see in a few hours on the cross. When they see Him crucified, they will defeat Him and desert Him. They will consider Him a failed one. It will be a moment of bewilderment that will return thanks to these words. If the disciples were definitively aligned with others in reading the Cross as failure, the new humanity. would not have been born.... The words of Jesus before leaving want us to overcome the scandal of the suffering of the Just. Worldly history, rewritten by the last winner, is always an apology for crime: it justifies the violent, which has managed to impose himself on others. God instead writes history, giving voice and reason to the victims of violence. History is not the triumph of evil, which gratuitously eliminates the just, but the victory of the just, who overcomes evil by loving gratuitously. "They will expel you from the synagogues" is the traumatic experience of the first disciples and of the Church of John, of Jewish origin. From here we can understand the controversy with those who consider themselves the exclusive "Jews" and expel them from their assembly. Sooner or later the disciple comes for an hour that associates him with the "hour" of his Master. Christ was killed in the name of God, as a blasphemer, and so Stephen. When all men understand that they cannot harm others in the name of God or reason, there will be a great novelty: each one will be ashamed of his own foolishness and will act according to wisdom. Not accepting to be children, loved by the Father in the Son, makes it impossible to live as brothers. Ignoring the common Father means not recognizing oneself as a son and the other as a brother. To reject the Father's Love is to reject the source of one's life.
