<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>This Sunday’s liturgy brings us a lesson on Forgiveness. An Old Testament wise man named Ben Sira states the need to forgive someone who acts wrongly against you. Because you too, when you pray, your sins will be forgiven by God. And if you are harboring malice against others, how can you hope to receive mercy from God? If you refuse to act with kindness for a similar one, can you expect to be forgiven for your own sins? Ben Sira gives three arguments: "Remember God's covenant with his people, and act kindly for those who do not understand." "Remember the commandments, and do not bear a grudge against your neighbor. » « Remember what awaits you at the end of life, remember death, and renounce all hatred and malice. »</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>In the Gospel, Jesus declares to his disciples their duty to forgive their brothers and sisters. Peter asks a question showing his willingness to go beyond what the Old Testament taught. He asked Jesus: "Lord, how many times must I forgive my neighbor when he wrongs me, up to seven times?" » For him, seven times is the greatest possible record.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>In response, Jesus told his disciples the parable of the man who refused to forgive. That man owed his master, the king of the country, a large sum of money that he could not obviously pay. They brought him to judgment and pronounced his condemnation to prison. He promised to pay the debt and begged for patience. The king had mercy, forgave him, canceled the whole debt, and let him go. We don't need to ask if he is happy.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>At this point, the story takes a twist. That same servant came to meet a co-worker who owed him a small sum. He laid hands on him and began to choke him. He said to him: "Pay me what you owe me." The colleague promised to pay, asked for patience, and begged him for mercy. But to no avail. Instead of acting with mercy, he drags him off to jail.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>When the king heard of what had happened, he called the harsh, hard-hearted, unforgiving servant. He blames him for his bad actions. He reproached him for not imitating his Master. He condemned the man and threw him into prison until he would pay the entire debt.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>The whole story teaches one lesson. If we receive forgiveness from the almighty God, for all our sins, we must also forgive a neighbor who acts wrongly against us.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>As humans, we tend to hold grudges against those who hurt us. Jesus clearly warns us with great force: "We must learn from God’s mercy." We must forgive our brothers and sisters. » Forgiveness is an absolute requirement of his Gospel. In God’s, there is no room for revenge, anger, and hatred, for those who refuse to forgive. When you are constantly seeking revenge, when your conscience sinks into hurting people, you are on the wrong path. "The Lord God is good and rich in compassion. » Jesus invites us to forgive God. Forgiveness has no limits.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>Le dimanche d'aujourd'hui nous apporte une leçon sur le pardon. Un sage de l’Ancien Testament nommé Ben Sira pose le problème. Il exprime la nécessité de pardonner à quelqu’un qui vous a fait du tort. Parce que vous aussi, lorsque vous priez, vos péchés seront pardonnés par Dieu. Et si vous nourrissez de la méchanceté envers les autres, comment pouvez-vous espérer recevoir la miséricorde de Dieu ? Si vous refusez d’agir avec bonté envers une autre personne, pouvez-vous espérer que vos propres péchés vous soient pardonnés ? Ben Sira donne trois arguments : « Souvenez-vous de l'alliance de Dieu avec son peuple et agissez avec bonté envers ceux qui ne comprennent pas. » « Souvenez-vous des commandements ; et ne gardez pas rancune contre le prochain. » « Souvenez-vous de ce qui vous attend à la fin de la vie, souvenez-vous de la mort ; et renoncez à toute haine et à toute méchanceté. »</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>Dans l’Évangile, Jésus déclare à ses disciples leur devoir de pardonner à leurs frères et sœurs. Pierre pose une question pour montrer qu'il veut aller au-delà de ce qu’exige l'Ancien Testament. Il demande à Jésus : « Seigneur, combien de fois dois-je pardonner à mon prochain lorsqu'il me fait du tort, jusqu'à sept fois ? » Pour lui, sept fois, c'est le plus beau record possible.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>En réponse, Jésus raconte à ses disciples la parabole de l'homme qui refusait de pardonner. Cet homme devait à son maitre, le roi du pays, une grosse somme d’argent qu’Il ne peut pas payer. Au tribunal, il est condamné à la prison. Il promet de payer la totalité de la dette et demande de la patience. Le roi a pitié, annule l’intégralité de la dette et le laisse partir. Nous n'avons pas besoin de lui demander s'il est heureux.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>Soudain, l’histoire prend un tournant qui va tout changer. Cet homme, à sa sortie du tribunal, rencontre un collègue qui lui devait une petite somme. Il l’empoigne et commence à l'étrangler. Il lui dit : « Paye-moi ce que tu me dois. » Le collègue le supplie. Il lui demande d'être patient avec lui et d'avoir pitié. Mais en vain. Au lieu de cela, il le jette en prison.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>Lorsque le roi apprit la nouvelle de ce qui s'était passé, il appela le serviteur au cœur dur et impitoyable. Il lui reproche ses mauvaises actions. Il lui reprocha de ne pas avoir agi comme le Maître l'avait fait pour lui. L’homme est jeté en prison et contraint de payer toute sa dette.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>Toute l’histoire enseigne une leçon. Si nous recevons le pardon du Dieu tout-puissant pour tous nos péchés, nous devons aussi pardonner à notre prochain qui nous a fait du tort.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-size: 19px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;'>En tant qu’humains, nous avons tendance à garder rancune envers ceux qui nous ont blessé. Jésus nous avertit clairement: « Nous devons faire comme Dieu. » Nous devons pardonner à nos frères et sœurs. » Le pardon est une exigence absolue de l’Évangile. Dans le royaume de Jésus, il n’y a pas de place pour la vengeance, la colère et la haine, pas de place pour ceux qui refusent de pardonner. Lorsque vous cherchez constamment à vous venger, lorsque votre conscience s’enfonce dans le mal pour accabler les autres, vous êtes sur la mauvaise voie. « Dieu est bon et riche en compassion. » Jésus nous invite à être comme Dieu. Pardonnez sans limites.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>Traditionnellement, la Croix-des-Bouquets a toujours eu une élite apolitique qui se soucie que de ses activités personnelles et de sa petite famille sans penser au bien commun ou comment elle peut aider la Croix-Des-Bouquets à s’engager dans  la voie du progrès . Ainsi, le destin de la Cité est presque toujours dans les mains de gens qui se soucient très peu de son progrès réel. Comme l’a écrit l’ingénieur-Politicien Français Raoul Dautry (16 septembre 1880 - 21 août 1951) : « Appartenir à l’élite, cela ne dépend pas de la fonction, mais du caractère et de la valeur spirituelle de l’homme ». Je continue à me poser cette question : « Est-ce que le fait d’avoir une bonne éducation ou plusieurs diplômes universitaires et de l’argent  vous autorise à faire partie de l’élite d’un pays et d’une ville ? ». Certes, aucun pays ne peut faire de progrès sans l’éducation. Mais, comment utilisez-vous votre éducation et votre argent  pour aider vos frères et sœurs, votre ville natale et votre pays ? Que comptez-vous laisser comme testament pour les gens de votre ville et de votre pays ?</span></p>

Plus de 100000 personnes vinrent s’établir à la Croix-des-Bouquets après le terrible séisme du 12 janvier 2010. Ce qui engendra beaucoup de problèmes de pauvreté, de promiscuité et même de bidonvilisation. Cet hôpital aurait dû ouvrir ses portes depuis l’année 2012 mais pour des divergences et d’ego entre certains de nos ‘‘leaders’’, la population a dû attendre 11 ans, soit le 2 octobre 2023, pour que l’hôpital puisse ouvrir ses portes. Cette structure a 62 chambres mais elle sera ouverte dans un premier temps avec des services très limité pour faute d’équipement. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>Traditionally, Croix-des-Bouquets has always had an apolitical elite who only care about their personal activities and their small family without thinking about the common good or how they can help Croix-Des-Bouquets to embark on the path progress . Thus, the destiny of the City is almost always in the hands of people who care very little about its real progress. As the French engineer-politician Raoul Dautry (September 16, 1880 – August 21, 1951) wrote: “Belonging to the elite does not depend on the function, but on the character and spiritual value of the man ". I keep asking myself this question: “Does having a good education or several university degrees and money allow you to be part of the elite of a country and a city? ". Certainly, no country can make progress without education. But, how do you use your education and your money to help your brothers and sisters, your hometown and your country? What do you plan to leave as a testament for the people of your city and your country?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>Furthermore, the opening of the Hospital Center in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets will be a great gift for the overpopulation of the  municipality of Croix-des-bouquets . More than 100,000 people came to settle in Croix-des-Bouquets after the terrible earthquake of January 12, 2010. This created many problems of poverty, promiscuity and even slums. This hospital should have opened its doors since 2012 but due to differences and egos between some of our ''leaders'', the population had to wait 11 years, i.e. October 2, 2023, for the hospital to be able to open its doors.

It is not an easy job to lead this parish, especially at a time when the commune has become a great desert with this climate of insecurity. The courageous Father Fitho Randel accompanies Father Gétho in this heavy task. The Crucian Catholic community is known for a very generous community towards their parish because the Our Lady Rosary  church is a great heritage for the Crucian community.</span></p>

The cry of our People, affected to the core, resonates in our ears and our hearts as pastors. These people only ask to live in dignity and peace. At the bottom of their distress, wanderings, and torments, they take up the cry of Christ on the cross: My God, My God, why have you abandoned me? The God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, our God, remains the faithful God who tells us again today: “I have witnessed the affliction of my people …. and have heard their cry against their taskmasters, so I know well what they are suffering... » Ex 3,7.</span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: rgb(32, 33, 36);'> </span></p>

The whole people, the whole country, are affected to the core. Truly “history is showing signs of decline</span><a href="#m_8880782313317068733_m_583649450811562" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[1]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>” in Haiti. The State has lost control of the national territory. Organized crime has spread to all our Provinces, all our dioceses, and almost all the major cities in the country. The metropolitan region of Port-au-Prince is almost entirely controlled by armed bandits, organized into gangs. In the Artibonite Province, strategic points are abandoned to their terrorist actions.</span></p>

A low-intensity war against the peaceful and unarmed population is raging here and there in the country. But “every war leaves the world worse than in the state in which it found it. War is always a failure of politics and humanity...</span><a href="#m_8880782313317068733_m_583649450811562" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[2]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>”.

The daily terrors in Carrefour-Feuilles, in Lilavois (to name just these places), and the massacre in the Canaan area, seem to confirm that gangs are given </span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;'>carte blanche</span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'> to act against the population. These sponsored crimes against a defenseless population are accompanied, among other things, by attacks against churches and places of worship of different religions, which can no longer function. “Every violence committed against a human being is a wound in the flesh of humanity; every violent death diminishes us as people. […] Violence begets violence, hate begets more hate, and death more death.” </span></p>

It seems that we have already exhausted all ordinary and normal ways. What must we do as Churches and people in dire straits to change the situation and prevent armed gangs from killing us, from massacring us all? For more than three years no cry, no moral force has been able to stop them. And yet we must break this chain and prevent “the people from being pushed even further into discouragement</span><a href="#m_8880782313317068733_m_583649450811562" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[4]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>”.

It is slow and arduous work that requires allowing oneself to be integrated and learning to do so to the point of developing a culture of encounter in multifaceted harmony</span><a href="#m_8880782313317068733_m_583649450811562" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[5]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>.” Faced with the barbarism taking hold in the country, the solution is not passivity. We believe that it is possible to transform these dehumanizing conflicts into “links of a new process</span><a href="#m_8880782313317068733_m_583649450811562" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[6]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>”.

In these dark hours of our history as a nation, we ask all the people of God who are in Haiti, all our baptized faithful in the country and elsewhere, and all our ecclesial institutions to remain actively alert. Let our witness be of "a Church which serves, which leaves its home, its temples, and its sacristies, to accompany life, to support hope, and to be a sign of unity […], to build bridges, tear down walls, and sow reconciliation</span><a href="#m_8880782313317068733_m_583649450811562" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[8]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>”. Wherever we are, even in the most remote corners, our solidarity and closeness, our prayer and exhortations as citizens and as a people can contribute to this goal. We invite the priests, the religious, and the lay faithful in every parish of the ten dioceses of the country to organize a real chain of prayers, for the deliverance, the liberation of our dear country and our beloved people from the influence and violence of the gangs. We recommend especially the novena of prayer for the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel.</span></p>

We encourage all initiatives taken to stop the flow of blood and to protect the vulnerable population, totally abandoned and left to its own fate.

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>1.     We, the Bishops of the Catholic Church in Haiti, resound “the cry of an entire people in the face of abandonment”, and live with bitterness and pain the suffering of our people caused by the blind violence of heavily armed bandits, the cynicism and indifference of political leaders, and the hesitations of the international community. The cry of our People, affected to the core, resonates in our ears and our hearts as pastors. These people only ask to live in dignity and peace. At the bottom of their distress, wanderings, and torments, they take up the cry of Christ on the cross: My God, My God, why have you abandoned me? The God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, our God, remains the faithful God who tells us again today: “I have witnessed the affliction of my people …. and have heard their cry against their taskmasters, so I know well what they are suffering... » Ex 3,7.</span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: rgb(32, 33, 36);'> </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>2.     Indeed, for around four years, our country has been experiencing one of the longest and deadliest socio-political and security crises in its entire history. The whole people, the whole country, are affected to the core. Truly “history is showing signs of decline</span><a href="#m_5836494508115620589__ftn1" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[1]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>” in Haiti. The State has lost control of the national territory. Organized crime has spread to all our Provinces, all our dioceses, and almost all the major cities in the country. The metropolitan region of Port-au-Prince is almost entirely controlled by armed bandits, organized into gangs. In the Artibonite Province, strategic points are abandoned to their terrorist actions.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>3.     The population is taken hostage by the merciless violence of gangs and their allies; it is screwed in the inaction and complicit silence of the government. A low-intensity war against the peaceful and unarmed population is raging here and there in the country. But “every war leaves the world worse than in the state in which it found it. War is always a failure of politics and humanity...</span><a href="#m_5836494508115620589__ftn2" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[2]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>”.

The daily terrors in Carrefour-Feuilles, in Lilavois (to name just these places), and the massacre in the Canaan area, seem to confirm that gangs are given </span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;'>carte blanche</span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'> to act against the population. These sponsored crimes against a defenseless population are accompanied, among other things, by attacks against churches and places of worship of different religions, which can no longer function. “Every violence committed against a human being is a wound in the flesh of humanity; every violent death diminishes us as people. […] Violence begets violence, hate begets more hate, and death more death.” </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>4.     What should we do? It seems that we have already exhausted all ordinary and normal ways. What must we do as Churches and people in such a crisis to change the situation and prevent armed gangs from killing us, from massacring us all? For more than three years no cry, no moral force has been able to stop them. And yet we must break this chain and prevent “the people from being pushed even further into discouragement</span><a href="#m_5836494508115620589__ftn4" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[4]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>”. What must we do so that our country regains peace and the people, serenity?</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>5.     As Pope Francis states, “Becoming a people requires a constant process in which each new generation finds itself engaged. It is slow and arduous work that requires allowing oneself to be integrated and learning to do so to the point of developing a culture of encounter in multifaceted harmony</span><a href="#m_5836494508115620589__ftn5" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[5]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>.” Faced with the barbarism taking hold in the country, the solution is not passivity.

In these dark hours of our history as a nation, we ask all the people of God who are in Haiti, all our baptized faithful in the country and elsewhere, and all our ecclesial institutions to remain actively alert. Let our witness be of "a Church which serves, which leaves its home, its temples and its sacristies, to accompany life, to support hope, and to be a sign of unity […], to build bridges, tear down walls, and sow reconciliation</span><a href="#m_5836494508115620589__ftn8" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[8]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>”. Wherever we are, even in the most remote corners, our solidarity and closeness, our prayer and exhortations as citizens and as a people can contribute to this goal. We invite the priests, the religious, and the lay faithful in every parish of the ten dioceses of the country to organize a real chain of prayers, for the deliverance, the liberation of our dear country and our beloved people from the influence and violence of the gangs. We recommend especially the novena of prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel.</span></p>

We encourage all initiatives taken to stop the flow of blood and to protect the vulnerable population, totally abandoned and left to its own fate.

We ask those currently in power to take concrete and strong actions for true historical reconciliation here and today in Haiti.</span></p>

May the solution formulas used for too long and which achieve nothing urgently give way to others to put an end to this inhumane situation which we are trying to survive and which brings shame to such a great nation.</span></p>

El grito de nuestro Pueblo, afectado hasta lo más profundo, resuena en nuestros oídos y en nuestro corazón de pastores. Estas personas sólo piden vivir en dignidad y paz. En el fondo de sus angustias, de sus extravíos y de sus tormentos, retoma el grito de Cristo en la cruz: Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado? El Dios de ayer, de hoy y de mañana, nuestro Dios, sigue siendo el Dios fiel que nos vuelve a decir hoy: “He visto la humillación de mi pueblo […], y he escuchado sus gritos cuando lo maltrataban sus mayordomos. Yo conozco sus sufrimientos... » Éx 3,7.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>2.     De hecho, desde hace unos cuatro años, nuestro país vive una de las crisis sociopolíticas y de seguridad más largas y mortíferas de toda su historia. Todo el pueblo, todo el país, está afectado hasta la médula. Realmente “la historia está mostrando signos de decadencia</span><a href="#_ftn9" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[9]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>” en Haití. El Estado ha perdido el control del territorio nacional. El crimen organizado se ha extendido a todos nuestros departamentos, a todas nuestras diócesis y a casi todas las ciudades importantes del país. La región metropolitana de Puerto Príncipe está controlada casi en su totalidad por bandidos armados, organizados en bandas. En el departamento de Artibonite, los puntos estratégicos están abandonados a sus acciones terroristas.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>3.     La población es rehén de la violencia despiadada de las pandillas y sus aliados; está jodido en la inacción y el silencio cómplice del gobierno. Aquí y allá en el país se libra una guerra de baja intensidad contra la población pacífica y desarmada. Pero “toda guerra deja al mundo peor que en el estado en que lo encontró. La guerra es siempre un fracaso de la política y de la humanidad...</span><a href="#_ftn10" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[10]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>”. Vemos las espesas sombras de “la violencia al servicio de pequeños intereses de poder, codicia y división</span><a href="#_ftn11" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[11]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>” avanzando en Haití. Los terrores cotidianos en Carrefour-Feuilles, en Lilavois (por citar sólo estos lugares), la matanza</span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: red;'> </span><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>en la zona de Canaan, parecen confirmar que las bandas tienen carta blanca para actuar contra la población. Estos crímenes patrocinados contra una población indefensa van acompañados, entre otras cosas, de ataques contra iglesias y lugares de culto de diferentes religiones que ya no pueden funcionar. “Toda violencia cometida contra un ser humano es una herida en la carne de la humanidad; cada muerte violenta nos disminuye como personas. […] La violencia engendra violencia, el odio engendra más odio y la muerte, más muerte”. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>4.     ¿Qué debemos hacer? Parece que ya hemos agotado todos los caminos ordinarios y normales. ¿Qué debemos hacer como Iglesias y personas en situación desesperada para cambiar la situación y evitar que las bandas armadas nos maten, nos masacren a todos? Desde hace más de tres años ningún grito, ninguna fuerza moral ha podido detenerlos. Y, sin embargo, debemos romper esta cadena y evitar que “el pueblo se sienta aún más desanimado</span><a href="#_ftn12" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[12]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>”. ¿Qué debemos hacer para que nuestro país recupere la paz y el pueblo, la serenidad?</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>5.     Como afirma el Papa Francisco, “convertirse en pueblo requiere un proceso constante en el que cada nueva generación se encuentra comprometida. Es un trabajo lento y arduo que requiere dejarse integrar y aprender a hacerlo hasta desarrollar una cultura del encuentro en armonía multifacética</span><a href="#_ftn13" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[13]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>”. Frente a la barbarie que se apodera del país, la solución no es la pasividad. Creemos que es posible transformar estos conflictos deshumanizantes en “eslabones de un nuevo proceso</span><a href="#_ftn14" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[14]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>”. Sin duda, esto requiere valentía de nuestra parte. Y ya lo hemos demostrado cuando era necesario alcanzar la independencia. ¡Bienaventurados los pacificadores! (Mt 5:9).</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>6.     Así, por enésima vez, nos proponemos avanzar juntos “hacia un orden social y político cuya alma será la caridad social”</span><a href="#_ftn15" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[15]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>. Pedimos a todo el pueblo de Dios que está en Haití, a todos los bautizados aquí y en otros lugares y a todas nuestras instituciones eclesiales que permanezcan activamente, en estas horas oscuras de nuestra historia como pueblo, "una Iglesia que sirve, que sale de su casa, que sale de sus templos, quien sale de sus sacristías, para acompañar la vida, sostener la esperanza, ser signo de unidad […] para tender puentes, derribar muros, sembrar reconciliación</span><a href="#_ftn16" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[16]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 19px;'>”. Dondequiera que estemos, incluso en los rincones más remotos, a ello pueden contribuir nuestra solidaridad, nuestra cercanía, nuestra oración, nuestras exhortaciones como ciudadanos y como pueblo. Invitamos a los sacerdotes de todas las parroquias de las diez diócesis del país, a los religiosos y a los fieles laicos a organizar una verdadera cadena de oraciones, en particular una novena de oración con motivo de la fiesta de San Miguel Arcángel, por la liberación. , la liberación de nuestro querido país de la influencia y violencia de las pandillas.</span></p>

Alentamos todas las iniciativas adoptadas para detener el flujo de sangre y proteger a la población vulnerable abandonada a su suerte. Reafirmamos alto y claro al mundo que hay que detener este genocidio. Pedimos a quienes actualmente están en el poder que tomen medidas concretas y enérgicas para una verdadera reconciliación histórica aquí y hoy en Haití.</span></p>

Que las fórmulas de solución utilizadas durante demasiado tiempo y que no consiguen nada den paso urgentemente a otras para poner fin a esta situación inhumana a la que intentamos sobrevivir y que avergüenza a una nación tan grande.</span></p>

Le cri de notre Peuple, affecté jusqu’aux entrailles, résonne à nos oreilles et nos cœurs de pasteurs. Ce peuple ne demande qu’à vivre dans la dignité et la paix. Au fond de sa détresse, ses errements et ses tourments, il reprend le cri du Christ en croix : Mon Dieu, Mon Dieu, pourquoi m’as-tu abandonné ? Le Dieu d’hier, d’aujourd’hui et de demain, notre Dieu, demeure le Dieu fidèle qui nous redit aujourd’hui : « J’ai vu la souffrance de mon peuple…, et j’ai entendu les cris que lui font pousser ses oppresseurs, je connais ses douleurs... » Ex 3,7. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>2.     En effet, depuis environ quatre ans, notre pays vit l’une des crises sociopolitiques et sécuritaires les plus longues et les plus meurtrières de toute son histoire. Tout le Peuple, tout le pays, est affecté jusqu’aux entrailles. Vraiment « l’histoire est en train de donner des signes de recul»</span><a href="#_ftn17" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[17]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'> en Haïti. L’État a perdu le contrôle du territoire national. Le crime organisé a gagné tous nos départements, tous nos diocèses et presque toutes les grandes villes du pays. La région métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince est presque entièrement contrôlée par des bandits armés, organisés en gangs. Dans le département de l’Artibonite, des points stratégiques sont abandonnés à leurs actions terroristes. </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0;" align="justify"><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>3.     La population est prise en otage par la violence impitoyable des gangs et leurs alliés ; elle est vissée dans l’inaction et le silence complice du gouvernement. Une guerre de basse intensité contre la population paisible et désarmée sévit çà et là dans le pays. Or « toute guerre laisse le monde pire que dans l’état où elle l’a trouvé. La guerre est toujours un échec de la politique et de l’humanité…»</span><a href="#_ftn18" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[18]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>.

Les terreurs quotidiennes à Carrefour-Feuilles, à Lilavois (pour ne citer que ces endroits), le massacre dans la zone de Canaan, semblent confirmer qu’est donnée carte blanche aux gangs pour agir contre la population. Ces crimes commandités contre une population sans défense s’accompagnent, entre autres, d’attaques contre les églises et les lieux de culte des différentes religions qui ne peuvent plus fonctionner. « Chaque violence commise contre un être humain est une blessure dans la chair de l’humanité ; chaque mort violente nous diminue en tant que personnes. […] La violence engendre la violence, la haine engendre plus de haine et la mort plus de mort ». </span></p>

Il semble que nous ayons déjà épuisé toutes les voies ordinaires et normales. Que devons-nous faire comme Églises et peuple aux abois pour changer les donnes et empêcher les gangs armés de nous tuer, de nous massacrer tous ? Depuis plus de trois ans aucun cri, aucune force morale n’a pu les arrêter. Et pourtant il nous faut briser cette chaîne et empêcher qu’on enfonce encore plus « le peuple dans le découragement»</span><a href="#_ftn20" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[20]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'>.

Nous demandons à tout le peuple de Dieu qui est en Haïti, à tous les baptisés d’ici et d’ailleurs et à toutes nos institutions ecclésiales de demeurer activement, en ces heures sombres de notre histoire de peuple, « une Église qui sert, qui sort de chez elle, qui sort de ses temples, qui sort de ses sacristies, pour accompagner la vie, soutenir l’espérance, être signe d’unité […] pour établir des ponts, abattre les murs, semer la réconciliation. »</span><a href="#_ftn24" target="_blank" style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;'><sup>[24]</sup></a><span style='font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px;'> Partout où nous sommes, même dans les coins les plus reculés, notre solidarité, notre proximité, notre prière, nos exhortations comme citoyens et comme peuple peuvent y contribuer.

Nous encourageons toutes initiatives prises pour arrêter les robinets de sang qui coulent à flot et pour protéger la population vulnérable livrée à elle-même.

Que les formules de solution trop longtemps utilisées et qui n’aboutissent à rien cèdent de manière urgente la place à d’autres pour mettre fin à cette situation inhumaine à laquelle nous essayons de survivre et qui fait la honte d’une si grande nation. </span></p>
