Pope Francis offered his welcome and expressed his profound gratitude to all those near and far participating in thetaking place in Saint Peter's Square Saturday afternoon on 10 June. The Pope's words came in a message read by Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica and Vicar General for Vatican City. Pope Francis is currently recovering from surgery in hospital and was unable to be present for the event as had originally been planned.
Participants shared their experiences and testimonies also live with link-ups to over eight countries around the world, including Italy , Congo , the Central African Republic , Ethiopia, Argentina , Israel , Japan , and Peru ., the Pope in his message says authentic fraternity calls us to see each other as a brother or a sister - not just a statistic, or a"other", but a human person who has dignity and merits respect.
Recalling that fraternity is also fragile as it is precious, the Pope said that"the feeling of fraternity uniting us is stronger than hatred and violence" and that in our common suffering the sense of “feeling together” can lead to a spark that can"rekindle the light that stops the night of conflicts."Believing that we are all brothers and sisters helps us look beyond our own ethnic and cultural roots to see our common human dignity that merits respect, he epxlained.
Every man is our brother, every woman is our sister, always. We want all to live together, as brothers and sisters in the Garden that is the Earth. The Garden of fraternity is the condition for all life. United with Pope Francis, we want to reaffirm that"authentic reconciliation does not flee from conflict, but is achieved in conflict, resolving it through dialogue and open, honest and patient negotiation." All this within the context of the human rights framework.
