Dear Young People, Do Not Give Up

Although It Is A Symbol Of Life, The Female Body Is Unfortunately Not Rarely Attacked And Disfigured, Even By Those Who Should Be Its Protector And Life Companion.

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.

An Authentic Faith Always Implies A Deep Desire To Change The World.

Today Is My Anniversary Of Ordination To The Priesthood. Please Pray For Me And All Priests.

Let Us Pray For Peace In Africa, Especially In The Central African Republic And In South Sudan.
