Respect others
“I am not a politician; I speak of the Gospel (…) and to the leaders of the world I say: no more wars.” Pope Leo XIV began his journey to Africa with these words, answering journalists aboard the plane en route to his first stop, Algeria. It is a tireless and courageous commitment to peace, one that the Focolare Movement wholeheartedly supports. Peace and interreligious dialogue were recurring themes in many of the testimonies presented to the Pope, including that of the Focolare community.
The war in Lebanon has caused more than a million people to be displaced, turning the emergency into a widespread and prolonged condition. The testimonies we share, speak of material losses, traumas and a hope that is steadily diminishing. However, a spontaneous network of solidarity is growing, planting ever more genuine seeds of humanity.
A renewed and comprehensive university course (three-year Bachelor’s and Master’s) aimed at the professions of the future with a double degree (ecclesiastical and civil) based in the new teaching campus in the city of Florence (Italy).
