A year has passed since the historical gesture of Pope Benedict XVI – done in all conscience, with courage and great humility. That gesture changed the face of the Church and we remember him with our hearts full of gratitude.
In his last Angelus, on February 24, 2013, we were touched by his words: «The Lord is calling me “to scale the mountain”, to devote myself even more to prayer and meditation.»
Thank you Pope Benedict for having been an instrument of the Holy Spirit!

Message by the President Margaret Karram
Brotherhood, being children of the same Father, can be the root of every kind of pacifism. In this excerpt from the “Catholic Revolt”, Igino Giordani wrote almost an invocation, a poetic appeal that compels us to look up and opens our eyes to who our brother is, that brother who may be labelled as an enemy, as a foreigner, as a migrant, but is always a brother. It is an appeal written back in 1925, that still touches our deepest chords and challenges us to be builders of peace.
