A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

God never tires of forgiving us.

Our life is not given to us like an opera libretto, in which all is written down; but it means going, walking, doing, searching, seeing.... We must enter into the adventure of the quest for meeting God; we must let God search and encounter us.

May the power of Christ, which brings freedom and service, be felt in so many hearts afflicted by war, persecution and slavery.

We ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace. Yes, Christ is our peace, and through him to implore peace for all the world.

Today too, as at her origins, the Church... cries out:“Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love!” Amen.

Dear young people, always be missionaries of the Gospel, every day and in every place.
