Pilgrims of Hope: “God loves us, God loves you all, and evil will not prevail!
All of us are in God’s hands. So, let us move forward, without fear,
together, hand in hand with God and with one another other! We are
followers of Christ. Christ goes before us. The world needs his light.
Humanity needs him as the bridge that can lead us to God and his love.
Help us, one and all, to build bridges through dialogue and encounter,
joining together as one people, always at peace.” Pope Leo XIV – on the
evening of his election.
