(Vatican News Network)The Congregation for the Laity, Family and Life has produced a series of videos #TheChurchIsOurHome (#TheChurchIsOurHome) on the theme of the participation of people with disabilities in the life of the Church. The first video, entitled “Shared responsibility”, was published on December 6 on the social channels of the Congregation for the Laity, Family and Life, the Secretariat of the Synod and Vatican News.
The five protagonists of the video start from the experience of some disabled people, the themes they mention include the impossibility of receiving the sacraments, what happened during the new corona epidemic, etc. establish friendlier groups.
What needs to be done is not only to provide accessible places and facilities for lay people with disabilities, but also to allow for their full participation and promote their co-responsibility. In his message for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Pope Francis wrote: “The Synod invites us in a particular way to walk together and to listen to one another. This helps us to understand that in the Church, even with regard to disability, there is no difference between us and them. “There is no difference, but there is only one of us, centered on Jesus Christ, each with their own graces and limitations.”
