S veľkou láskou si spomíname na otca kardinála obzvlášť teraz, keď sme si v piatok 24. októbra pripomenuli 10. výročie jeho úmrtia.
Ján Chryzostom Korec (1924 – 2015) patril k najvýznamnejším osobnostiam slovenských cirkevných i spoločenských dejín 20. storočia. Ako tajne vysvätený jezuita a biskup počas komunistického režimu dlhé roky pôsobil v ilegalite, popri práci robotníka duchovne sprevádzal veriacich a formoval generáciu kresťanov verných Cirkvi. Po roku 1989 sa stal biskupom a neskôr kardinálom Nitrianskej diecézy, pričom zostal symbolom vernosti, odvahy a hlbokej viery.
Svojím príkladom i osobnou podporou významne ovplyvnil rozvoj laického apoštolátu na Slovensku. Povzbudzoval mladých ľudí, aby sa nebáli prevziať zodpovednosť za život Cirkvi a spoločnosti. Práve z tohto prostredia vyrástlo aj Hnutie kresťanských spoločenstiev detí – eRko. Kardinál Korec stál pri jeho začiatkoch a s otcovskou pozornosťou sprevádzal aj projekt Dobrá novina, v ktorom videl krásny prejav viery, solidarity a radosti z darovania.
Pred 31 rokmi sa eRko rozhodovalo, či začne kolednícku akciu a či v nej bude ďalej pokračovať aj po prvom ročníku na Vianoce 1995. Jedným z najdôležitejších hlasov, ktoré nám to pomohli rozlíšiť, boli hlasy biskupov, zvlášť otca kardinála Jána Chryzostoma Korca a vtedajšieho predsedu KBS Mons. Rudolfa Baláža.
Otec kardinál adresoval Dobrej novine pri 15. výročí toto posolstvo: „Dobrá novina je také podujatie, za ktoré neviem dosť ďakovať Pánu Bohu. Učíte deti obetavosti. Modlím sa, aby Pán Boh požehnával vašu prácu, aby požehnával vás, ktorí sa jej už roky venujete,..aby ste mali stále nové nápady, lebo takéto hnutie sa musí stále rozvíjať.”
Jeho slová a príklad zostávajú pre mnohých členov eRka a koledníkov Dobrej noviny inšpiráciou aj dnes – aby s radosťou a odvahou prinášali svetu dobrú novinu o láske, viere a nádeji.
