Cardinal Chomali: 21st-Century Christian ‘Will Either Be A Martyr Or Will Not Be A Christian’...

ULTIMATE VICTORY
"I bless you, My child, and your good relations. I bless all of the workers who have joined My Mother in these days of trial. You will understand the ultimate victory will be with the Eternal Father in Heaven. All who pass through this and accept the cross will be given a crown. Many martyrs shall come out of the tribulation, but, My child, is not that an easy way to enter Heaven?" - Jesus, September 7, 1977

MANY
"Many shall be martyred in the days ahead. Heaven can be gained through martyrdom." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 24, 1979

IMMEDIATE ENTRANCE
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?" - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1978

“The Christian of the 21st century will either be a martyr or will not be a Christian,” the archbishop of Santiago and primate of Chile, Cardinal Fernando Chomali, said during a seminar about the role of faith in public life. 

The cardinal made the remark during his presentation at the seminar “And in Everything Charity,” which took place on the occasion of the centenary of Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas.

The seminar’s title was inspired by a quote from St. Augustine. Organizations including the Catholic University of Chile’s law department, Community and Justice, and the ConBoca Foundation collaborated to host an event highlighting charity as the central pillar uniting social, cultural, and political efforts.

Chomali opened his presentation with a statement about the current reality: “We are glutted with everything: with words, with discourse, with so-called freedoms. But at the same time, we are full of nothing.”

Referring to the role of faith in today’s society and the need for a solid spirituality, the cardinal noted that “today we need witnesses. More than teachers, people who know Jesus, who love him, who follow him. Not with ideas, but with their lives.”

He also warned about two common temptations surrounding faith: spiritualizing everything and retreating into small circles. “The Church cannot be closed off. It’s not about doing missions from time to time but about living with a missionary attitude. What attracts people are not speeches but actions,” he observed.

Chomali affirmed that “the Christian of the 21st century will either be a martyr or will not be a Christian,” clarifying that “it’s not about seeking persecution but about living radically; obeying God before men.”

‘Evangelizing is by nature a political act’

The archbishop of Santiago elaborated on the importance of faith in social transformation, affirming that “every human project without grace ends in frustration.”

He warned that charity cannot be reduced to cordiality or philanthropy but rather “must be the soul of Christian politics” and that this requires “formation, prayer, and consistency.”

Making a distinction between politics and ideology, the cardinal asserted that “evangelizing is by nature a political act, because it seeks the common good.”

The best thing we can offer society, he maintained, is to proclaim Christ, because “from him we understand human dignity. And only from him can we live with hope.”

"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell." - St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
