Cardinal Cerny, the Holy See’s Minister for Promoting Integral Human Development, recently participated in an economic conference for young scholars and entrepreneurs in Assisi, Italy. “The teachings of the Gospel must be lived in economic life in a concrete way and in a spirit of reform,” he said.
(Vatican News Network)The “Economy of Francis” conference in Assisi, Italy, and the meeting between Pope Francis and the young entrepreneurs have all been completed, but the “Economy of Francis” process has not finished and will continue. In a letter of May 2019 to young economists and entrepreneurs, the Pope called this process a sown seed, “it is necessary to study and practice alternative economies that bring life rather than death; inclusion rather than exclusion. Others; human rather than impersonal; caring for creation rather than ruining it. “
Cardinal Czerny, Minister of the Holy See for the Promotion of Integral Human Development, participated in the economic conference that has just ended. He said that this meeting is a stage, a journey that young people and the Pope would like to continue. “The outcome of the conference is interesting – said the cardinal -. Because it was not a lesson, a discussion or an assembly, but a moment of a journey of about three years, it gave a sense of depth and depth that he feels himself in ordinary conferences. Practical. In ordinary meetings, even if everyone is happy to be together, it starts with pure conversation. This is not the case with the Assisi meeting. He already has a whole process and feeling that needs to be further deepened and rooted … I think this is the yearning of young people and the message of the Pope ».
What we saw in the business meeting was an international friendly atmosphere of World Youth Day and youth gatherings. Card. Czerny said: “It is true, there is really joy here at WYD, but the focus is not only on the meeting of young people, but on the reality that young people represent. They come here with their plans, they all go on together, which is the difference. World Youth Day represents young people and how they will live in the future. This meeting in Assisi shows that young people have begun to move forward together.
As for moving forward, in the pact of young people, they are committed to living the economy in the spirit of the Gospel. “In fact, the question is to live the spirit of the Gospel in the economy. There is no economy of the Gospel, only one that lives and is reformed according to the teachings of the Gospel ”, said the Minister of Promotion of the Holy See for Integral Human Development.
