To Venezuelans gripped by anxiety and fear after years of political violence, economic collapse, famine, and family separation, the newly-appointed bishop of Caracas said the hardships they have endured for too long can be faced with the certainty that the Lord has triumphed over sin and death.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Dionisio G\u00f3mez, who was recently appointed by Pope Leo XIV as auxiliary bishop of Caracas, reminded the Venezuelan people that Christ\u02bcs resurrection is \u201ca source of solace and strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Venezuela, we have the hope of rising again at every moment in the face of every suffering and obstacle that confronts us,\u201d G\u00f3mez said in an interview with ACI Prensa, the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo rise with Christ is to strive to be better people and better witnesses to his resurrection,\u201d G\u00f3mez said. \u201cThroughout history, it has been demonstrated that human beings possess the capacity through the grace of God and with the solidarity of their brothers and sisters to overcome situations of suffering caused by wars, pandemics, holocausts, abuses of power, and harassment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The capture of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife by the United States military in the early hours of Jan. 3 ushered in \u201ca new political era,” presenting a scenario that was previously unimaginable.<\/p>\n

The prelate cited the episcopate\u2019s latest pastoral exhortation, published in mid-February, in which the bishops stated that \u201cJesus Christ consoles us and encourages us to move forward with hope.\u201d <\/p>\n

G\u00f3mez noted that Venezuelans are not alone amid their daily lives: \u201cWe are all aware of [the need to] and are eager to move our country forward, a country we love so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

On March 18, G\u00f3mez and Jos\u00e9 Manuel Le\u00f3n were named the two new auxiliary bishops-elect of Caracas. They join Auxiliary Bishop Carlos M\u00e1rquez in assisting Archbishop Ra\u00fal Biord in the governance of the Church in the Venezuelan capital.<\/p>\n

Venezuelans \u2018bear signs of Christ\u2019s passion\u2019<\/h2>\n

Reflecting on Venezuela\u02bcs political situation, G\u00f3mez, who also serves as rector of St. Rose of Lima archdiocesan seminary in Caracas, said that, regrettably, \u201call Venezuelans bear signs of Christ\u2019s passion, whether through imprisonment, exile, or migration under duress; through acute poverty as wages aren\u2019t enough to have a decent life; or because we witness others suffering even more and we are powerless to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, Jesus came to have compassion on us. That is why he drew near to and remained alongside the abandoned and suffering members of society, inviting them to bear that suffering with love and patience,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

G\u00f3mez also referred to Pope Leo\u2019s Lenten message<\/a>, which echoed the words God addressed to Moses: \u201cI have seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cries of pain\u201d (Ex 3:7).<\/p>\n

Law on amnesty and national reconciliation<\/h2>\n

In mid-February, the National Assembly, which is controlled by the ruling socialist party, approved the Law on Amnesty and National Reconciliation, which led to the release of hundreds of political prisoners.<\/p>\n

However, various independent organizations have said the new law has not benefited all detainees and have charged that its application serves the interests of the regime. According to the Foro Penal<\/a>, 485 people remain unjustly detained in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is not the slightest doubt that we all wish to live in justice and truth. The amnesty law is also the law of God\u2019s mercy, who desires that all men be saved. For this reason, he offers his forgiveness to all,\u201d G\u00f3mez explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cA wounded country and a wounded human being are healed through forgiveness and reconciliation by setting aside interests of any kind and always seeking paths toward the common good and brotherhood, where we are all one despite our differing ways of thinking, accepting one another. Therefore, it is important to set aside what divides us and embrace what unites us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Let us make our lives a journey of peace and reconciliation\u2019<\/h2>\n

G\u00f3mez noted that \u201cthe new era\u201d for Venezuela coincides with the Franciscan Jubilee Year<\/a>, which serves as \u201ca good opportunity to embark on a path of education for peace, one that entails nonviolence and reconciliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about forgetting but rather about remembering, repairing the damage, and building bonds of fraternity. A society achieves reconciliation and rebuilds itself not with heroes but with free, responsible people capable of living together with dignity and building a future worthy of hope,\u201d the auxiliary bishop-elect emphasized.<\/p>\n

Finally, he prayed that Catholics might make their \u201cgreat contribution\u201d to Venezuela, following the example of St. Jos\u00e9 Gregorio Hern\u00e1ndez, who offered his life for the end of World War I.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us make our lives a journey of peace and reconciliation so that all Venezuelans may return to the source of our essence: a people of solidarity \u2014 friendly, humorous, and joyful \u2014 with a simple faith and fervent religious expressions, and ready to help anyone in need,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n
