Pope Francis says “I need peace, you need peace, the world needs peace, breathing peace is healthy. We need tangible signs of peace. Christians must set the example.” to US Hispanic Congress
“Every war is born of injustice, every war, including those that at times we wage in our families and communities, which are fought in silence; they too are born of injustice.”
“You have chosen a good theme,” the Pope says, inviting participants to change their mindsets into “mindsets and plans of peace.”
“We all think with mindsets of war. It is existential Cainism. Brotherhood is for all, and it is made manifest in mindsets that change the life of families, communities, peoples, nations, and the world,” he says.
The Pope invited believers to reflect on the need to be “Christians who transform the structure and who can create bridges in all sectors of society, illuminating thought, so that it may lead to actions that can bring peace and unity at all levels, starting from our families and communities.”
“I need peace, you need peace, the world needs peace, breathing peace is healthy. We need tangible signs of peace. Christians must set the example.”
“I ask you to be bridges,” Pope Francis added before imparting his apostolic blessing, “to create bridges, to pray and work for peace, and not to forget to pray for me.”
