His Holiness Pope Francis was pleased to be informed of the
seventieth anniversary of the foundation of Pax Christi International, to be
observed during the Global Assembly in Bethlehem from 13 to 17 May 2015. He
sends cordial greetings to all those present for the celebration and he assures
them of his spiritual closeness. Recalling that “to the extent that [Christ]
reigns within us, the life of society will be a setting for universal
fraternity, justice, peace and dignity” (Evangelii Gaudium, 180), His Holiness
prays that the Assembly will be an occasion for all members of Pax Christi to
open anew their hearts to Christ and to see their union in him as their
greatest offering to the communities they serve. Commending all the Assembly
participants to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace, the Holy Father
willingly imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of peace and joy in Risen
Lord.
