with the hope that many deserts in the world can bloom like this.”
Pope Francis said, "I am thinking of you and your
commitment in these days, as you face fundamental issues including political
challenges, economic development, protection of the environment and the use of
technology".
The Holy Father emphasized that “we cannot really speak of
sustainable development without solidarity”. He concluded his message with by
thanking those taking part, and with the prayer that the Lord might bless their
commitment “for a more just and prosperous world for everyone".
