Die Statue schuf seinerzeit der Schlitzer Bildhauer Ulrich Barnickel im Auftrag des Vereins. J\u00e4hrlich findet seitdem ein Dankgottesdienst in der Stadtpfarrkirche f\u00fcr den inzwischen heiliggesprochenen Papst statt, um an dessen Verdienste zur Wiedererlangung der Freiheit in der DDR und anderen Ostblock-L\u00e4ndern zu erin- nern. In diesem Jahr zelebrierten den Gottesdienst Stadtpfarrer Martin Lerg und Propst em. Heinz- Josef Durstewitz (Eisenach).<\/p>\n

Martin Lerg erinnerte sich an den Besuch des Papstes am 18. November 1980 in Fulda. Er selbst hatte das Ereignis als 17-J\u00e4hriger miterlebt. Neun Jahre nach seinem Besuch in der hessischen Domstadt habe Johannes Pauls Engagement f\u00fcr Frieden und Freiheit mit dazu beigetragen, dass es zur friedlichen Revolution in der DDR kam und die Grenze aufging. 2014 hatte die r\u00f6misch-katholische Kirche den 2005 verstorbenen Papst heiligge- sprochen. \u201cJede Zeit bekommt von Gott Heilige geschickt, die n\u00f6tig sind f\u00fcr sein Volk\u201d, sagte Pfarrer Lerg. Einer von ihnen sei \u201cJohannes Paul der Gro\u00dfe\u201d. Dass er ein Heiliger war, habe man an bestimmten Stellen schon zu dessen Lebzeiten gesp\u00fcrt\u201d, erkl\u00e4rte er.<\/p>\n

Die drei Jahrzehnte seit der Wiedervereinigung haben viele neue Entwicklungen gebracht, nicht nur positive. \u201cHeute w\u00fcrde Johannes Paul II. sagen: Passt auf, was hier vor sich geht, wenn Menschen nicht mehr als Ebenbild Gottes gesehen werden, sondern die Welt wie ein Konzern gelenkt wird. Passt auf, dass wir nicht vergessen, uns zu Gott zu bekennen\u201d, mahnte er. Nach dem Gottesdienst traf man sich zu einer Statio vor der Papst-Skulptur auf dem Schlossplatz. Pfarrer Lerg sprach ein Gebet. Raymond Walk, Vorstandsvorsitzender des F\u00f6rdervereins Point Alpha, berichtete von einem Besuch in Krakau, wo Johannes Paul II. vor seiner Wahl zum Papst als Kardinal gewirkt hatte. In der Stadt sp\u00fcre man, wie er auch heute noch verehrt werde. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Stefan Sachs<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”31378″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_caption=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
