The world needs more than ever the powerful witness of men and women of all religions living together in unity, friendship and cooperation. In this true way, we can work jointly to achieve the peace, justice and reconciliation so desperately needed today. May we never lose hope that a new world without division is possible. #GeneralAudience
I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress, which does not take everyone into account.
The poorest are not only objects of our compassion, but teachers of the Gospel. It is not a question of โbringingโ God to them, but of encountering Him among them. Serving the poor is not a gesture to be made โfrom above,โ but an encounter between equals, where Christ is revealed and adored. #JubileeOfThePoor #DilexiTe
