Vaticaanstad, 14 dec. 2025 \/ 05:25 uur (CNA).<\/p>\n

Paus Leo XIV leidde zondag de laatste grote viering van het Heilig Jaar en riep op tot een hernieuwde inzet voor rechtvaardigheid, rehabilitatie en hoop tijdens een Jubileummis voor gevangenen in de Sint-Pietersbasiliek.<\/p>\n

Ongeveer 6.000 pelgrims uit zo'n 90 landen namen deel aan het Jubileum van Gevangenen, waaronder gedetineerden en hun families, gevangenisaalmoezeniers, bewaarders, politie en gevangenisdirecteuren. De deelnemers kwamen uit heel Europa, Amerika, Afrika, Azi\u00eb en Oceani\u00eb, waaronder Itali\u00eb, Spanje, Portugal, het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Polen, Duitsland, Indonesi\u00eb, Mexico, Brazili\u00eb, Colombia, de Verenigde Staten, de Filipijnen, Taiwan en Australi\u00eb.<\/p>\n

In zijn homilie zei de paus dat nu het Jubileumjaar ten einde loopt, er wereldwijd nog steeds aanzienlijke uitdagingen binnen de gevangenissystemen bestaan.<\/p>\n

\u201cNu het einde van het Jubileumjaar nadert, moeten we erkennen dat er, ondanks de inspanningen van velen, ook in het penitentiaire systeem nog veel moet gebeuren,\u201d zei hij. Verwijzend naar de profeet Jesaja \u2014 \u201cde vrijgekochten van de Heer zullen terugkeren en met gejuich naar Sion komen\u201d \u2014 zei Leo dat dit tekstgedeelte eraan herinnert dat \u201chet God is die vrijkoopt, die verlost en bevrijdt.\u201d<\/p>\n

De paus erkende de harde realiteit van detentie en zei dat de gevangenis \u201ceen moeilijke plek is en dat zelfs de beste voorstellen op veel obstakels kunnen stuiten.\u201d Daarom, zei hij, moeten mensen niet \u201cmoe worden, ontmoedigd raken of opgeven,\u201d maar doorgaan \u201cmet vasthoudendheid, moed en een geest van samenwerking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leo benadrukte dat rechtvaardigheid niet gereduceerd mag worden tot enkel straf. \u201cEr zijn er velen die nog niet begrijpen dat men na elke val weer moet kunnen opstaan, dat geen enkel mens alleen door zijn of haar daden wordt gedefinieerd en dat rechtvaardigheid altijd een proces van herstel en verzoening is,\u201d zei hij.<\/p>\n

Reflecterend op de betekenis van het Jubileum zei de paus dat zelfs onder moeilijke omstandigheden het behoud van mededogen, respect en barmhartigheid onverwachte vruchten kan afwerpen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWanneer we, zelfs in moeilijke situaties, in staat zijn om de schoonheid van gevoelens, gevoeligheid, aandacht voor de behoeften van anderen, respect, het vermogen tot barmhartigheid en vergeving te behouden, bloeien er prachtige bloemen op uit de \u2018harde grond\u2019 van zonde en lijden,\u201d zei Leo, eraan toevoegend dat \u201cgebaren, projecten en ontmoetingen, uniek in hun menselijkheid, zelfs binnen gevangenismuren rijpen.\u201d<\/p>\n

De paus herinnerde ook aan de hoop die zijn voorganger, paus Franciscus, uitsprak voor het Heilig Jaar. Leo zei dat Franciscus wilde dat de Jubileumvieringen \u201cvormen van amnestie of gratie zouden bevatten die bedoeld zijn om individuen te helpen het vertrouwen in zichzelf en in de samenleving te herwinnen\u201d en om aan iedereen \u201cechte kansen op re-integratie\u201d te bieden.<\/p>\n

\u201cIk hoop dat veel landen zijn wens volgen,\u201d zei de paus, waarbij hij opmerkte dat het Jubileum in zijn bijbelse oorsprong \u201ceen jaar van genade was waarin iedereen de mogelijkheid kreeg om op vele verschillende manieren opnieuw te beginnen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zich richtend tot zowel gevangenen als degenen die in het strafsysteem werken, zei Leo dat de taak die aan hen is toevertrouwd veeleisend is. Hij wees op uitdagingen zoals overbevolking, onvoldoende educatieve en revalidatieprogramma's, en beperkte werkkansen, evenals persoonlijke lasten zoals wonden uit het verleden, teleurstelling en de moeilijkheid van vergeving.<\/p>\n

\u201cDe Heer blijft ons echter, voorbij dit alles, herhalen dat slechts \u00e9\u00e9n ding belangrijk is: dat niemand verloren gaat en dat allen gered worden,\u201d zei hij. \u201cLaat niemand verloren gaan! Laat allen gered worden! Dit is wat onze God wil, dit is zijn Koninkrijk, en dit is het doel van zijn handelen in de wereld.\u201d<\/p>\n

Volgens de organisatoren waren onder de delegaties die het Jubileum bijwoonden gedetineerden en personeel van verschillende Italiaanse gevangenissen, waaronder Rebibbia, Casal del Marmo, Brescia, Teramo, Pescara, Rieti, Varese en Forl\u00ec, evenals internationale groepen geco\u00f6rdineerd door gevangenisaalmoezeniers in Portugal, Spanje, Malta en Chili. Een groep van 500 pelgrims werd begeleid door de Algemene Inspectie van Aalmoezeniers van Italiaanse gevangenissen.<\/p>\n

De hosties voor de mis werden geproduceerd door gevangenen via het project \u201cSense of Bread\u201d (Zin van Brood), beheerd door de Fondazione Casa dello Spirito e delle Arti. Sinds 2016 betrekt het initiatief elk jaar meer dan 300 gedetineerden bij het maken van communiehosties voor meer dan 15.000 bisdommen, religieuze gemeenschappen en parochies in Itali\u00eb en daarbuiten.<\/p>\n
