Pope highlights moral values
taught by the Gospel
Pope Francis on Saturday greeted representatives from
Trentino in Northern Italy who for twenty years have collaborated generously
with the Holy See, especially with the Governorate of Vatican City State, in
various activities and initiatives.
In his words to those gathered the Pope said that the
audience offered him the opportunity to express appreciation for their
commitment to concretely supporting various projects, aimed especially at
welcoming pilgrims and visitors here at the Vatican.
Traditional Values
With your contribution, he continued, “you express the
traditional values of faith, hard work and solidarity so rooted in your land.
There is a great need in our days for people who know how to make a courageous
testimony of the moral values taught by the Gospel.”
The Pontiff went on to encourage them “to continue in your
intention to spread a culture of acceptance and a be model of open and
fraternal life, in harmony with our dignity as children of God.”
Importance of family
May your families, Pope Francis stressed, “be true
"domestic churches" founded on the Word of Jesus , on love for the
Church and service to life.”
With this foundation, he concluded, “they will thus
constitute schools of human and Christian values for new generations.
Generously spread the gospel seed of charity in the places where Providence
calls you to work.”
