I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.

No one can remain insensitive to the inequalities that persist in the world ... the Brazilian people, particularly the humblest among you, can offer the world a valuable lesson in solidarity, a word that is too often forgotten or silenced because it is uncomfortable ... I would like to make an appeal to those in possession of greater resources, to public authorities and to all people of good will who are working for social justice: never tire of working for a more just world, marked by greater solidarity

You can't govern without loving the people and without humility!

It is by God’s mercy that we are saved. May we never tire of spreading this joyful message to the world.

You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.

Around us there is the presence of evil. The devil is at work. But in a loud voice I say: GOD IS STRONGER.

Let us pray for peace in Africa, especially in the Central African Republic and in South Sudan.
