J.M. Bergoglio, Speech During Meeting with Youth at the Sports Field of St. Thomas University in Manila, The Philippines, 18th January 2015
“The great question for everybody is: “Why do
children suffer?”. Why do children suffer? Only when
our hearts can ask this question and weep, can we
begin to understand. There is a worldly compassion
which is completely useless. You said something
about this. A compassion which, at most, makes us
reach into our pocket and take out a coin. If Christ
had that kind of compassion, he would have passed
by, cured three or four people, and then returned to
the Father. Only when Christ wept, and he was capable
of weeping, did he understand our troubles.
Dear young men and women, our world today needs
weeping. The marginalized weep, those who are neglected
weep, the scorned weep, but those of us who
have relatively comfortable life, we don’t know how
to weep. Certain realities of life are seen only with
eyes that are cleansed by tears. I ask each one of you
to ask: Can I weep? Can I weep when I see a child
who is hungry, on drugs and on the street, homeless,
abandoned, mistreated or exploited as a slave by
society? Or is my weeping the self-centred whining
of those who weep because they want to have something
else? This is the first thing I would like to say
to you. Let’s learn to weep, the way [Glyzelle] taught
us today. Let’s not forget this witness. She asked the
big question - why do children suffer? - by weeping;
and the big answer which we can give, all of us, is to
learn how to weep. “
