In the Catholic Church with Christians LGBT+ is passed from the "Via Crucis" to the "Via Lucis"
Testimony of Santo, a participant in thejubilee pilgrimage of "La Tenda di Gionata and the other associations"(5-6 September 2025)
I still have in my eyes that beam of light that, upon our arrival with the rainbow cross in church, penetrated and wrapped the chair of Peter in the Basilica. Randomness? I now call them "God incedence".
That light dissolved the latest shadows that obscured my face and my heart. It was like a caress that pierced the darkness, letting the spirit that make new things enter.
“The real light came into the world,
the one that illuminates every man. [...]
To those who welcomed him
gave the power to become figlang of God:
to those who believe in his name,
which, do not give blood
nor from a desire for meat
nor from human will,
but from God they were generated "(Jn 1)
Behind the time of the shadows, the time of fears, ambiguity, broken and hidden lives remains. it is no longer time of divisions, because what divides is diabolical (διάβολος -diábolos), nothing else.
Now it's time for unity, it's the time of the Spirit!
These days of the pilgrimage to the Holy Door of Christians LGBT+ and their family members have been a living testimony of unity, inclusion, welcome. There were days of light, passages of light: steps that transform the wounds into the sluts.
The scars are not denied, but become open doors, gaps through which the truth passes. The "True Light" leads us to the truth of us Stessə and for us Stessə. It is a truth that frees, and the freedom that is born makes us flourish, each in its own uniqueness.
From this shared truth, life sprouts. Living this jubilee pilgrimage with you I received confirmation of this path: they were passing through light, steps of truth, life.
Steps for all, including steps, together, inside our church. That From today a new way is open: from the "via Crucis", with Jesus and the Church, towards the "Via Lucis".
We will be able to shine with the beauty and creativity that lives there, to become a full life of full life: a life that already here and now smells of eternity.
