Pope Francis sent greetings to the participants of the Global
Christian Forum meeting in Colombia. Fr Juan Usma-Gomez, attending the
meeting on behalf of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian
Unity read the Pope’s message yesterday. The gathering was in its 3rd
of a 5 day meeting with the theme “Let mutual love continue” (Hebrews 13:1).
The Pope said that he was uniting himself with the
participants. He recognizes the event as a graced opportunity giving the
representatives of various Christian communities the possibility of joining
together as brothers and sisters to fulfill Jesus’ prayer of unity. Pope
Francis said he was praying that the meeting might provide time for the
“sharing of experiences and faith,” both personal and ecclesial in an “open and
respectful” space. “Humanity greatly needs this solidarity,” he said, “which
encourages respect, esteem, mutual pardon, and the real defense of human
dignity in every situation.”
