Juan Pablo II: Bless the people of Trujillo and bring us peace ...!
"Peace requires four conditions
essential: love, freedom,
truth and justice ..."
(Juan Pablo II )
million parishioners of the Catholic Church celebrated the beatification of John Paul II, the Pilgrim Pope, Pope Amigo.
His successor Benedict XVI has just taken the first step toward the canonization of the most representative religious twentieth century.
John Paul II stood out as an example of life, humility, sacrifice, ability to forgive and love of neighbor.
However, we remember with exceptional believes it was the only pontiff who twice visited Peru. In 1985 and 1988.
Just at the first opportunity toured several cities in the country. Among others, was in Ayacucho during the tragic era of terrorism leaving this message:
- Do not be afraid. Do not let yourselves be discouraged by the pain that weighs upon your lives ...
And in Iquitos, where he coined the phrase "The Pope is charapa ..."
Trujillo also reached and shared with us. He was the February 4, 1985 when, in the morning, arrived at the airport before a fervent crowd Huanchaco.
excited population formed human cordons all the way to converge on the oval Papal to welcome and receive his blessing.
was here that the public excited, shedding tears when saying goodbye, he managed to urge unison: ... Let him stay! That is ...!
was the time when our city is distinguished by being one of the most peaceful of the country.
On the streets of downtown and the neighborhoods you could walk without any danger at any time of day and night.
No need to increase the number of police and prison experienced no problems of overcrowding.
Fatally, in just a quarter of a century much has changed, socio-economic development of the area the benignity of the laws and contributing factors, transformed the picture of calm and order that characterized us.
Now that John Paul II has beatified and is heading into its sanctification, the Trujillo we went to him and make a single appeal.
is a unanimous request comes from the depths of our heart: to end the signs of violence.
John Paul II. You that one day you landed on this blessed land of promise. You know us well. Now that accompany the Lord in his holy kingdom, we implore you:
Pour your blessings on his people and bring the desired peace Trujillo ...!
