Cuvântul bun luminează comunicarea
A good word enlightens communication

Summary/Abstract: In the context of the pandemic, social networks proved to be a very useful missionary and pastoral means since, for a long time, the faithful could not physically participate in church services. Thus, the online streaming of services was a spiritual consolation, a source of peace and joy, especially since many people suffered from loneliness, anxiety, the uncertainty of tomorrow, fear of illness and death (…).Through the live-streaming church services, the period of solitude and uneasiness was transformed into one of hope and communion, the faithful waiting with great responsibility and trust in God for the moment of actual liturgical participation, which we enjoy today. The World Social Media Day, celebrated on June 30 every year, is an opportunity to congratulate all those who use social platforms to promote people’s good words and deeds, not to generate conflicting and offensive conversations. In this sense, the Saviour Jesus Christ exhorts us with these words: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5, 16).Therefore, let us use social networks with discernment and responsibility in the spirit of solidarity, respect and love of fellow human beings, according to the words of the Saint Apostle Paul: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your interests but each of you to the interests of the others” (Philippians 2, 3-4).
