to the
Evan-
gelical
School
All of us are here in the service
of the risen Lord who assembles
us today; and, by virtue of the
common baptism we have
received, we are sent to
proclaim the joy of the Gospel

20. Opening the first
door of Mercy
for the Holy Year

21. The holy year of Divine Mercy jump started
a week ahead of the rest of the world, with the
opening of the Cathedral door in Bangui, C.A.R.

22. “Today Bangui becomes the spiritual capital of the world. The Holy Year of
Mercy starts early in this land of Africa. A land which has suffered for years from
war and hatred, lack of understanding, lack of peace; in this land of sufferings
there are many countries bearing the cross of war. Bangui now becomes the
spiritual capital of prayer for the Father’s mercy. Let us all implore peace, mercy,
reconciliation, forgiveness and love. For Bangui, for the entire Central African
Republic, for the whole world, for those countries experiencing war, let us ask for
peace! Now, all together, let us ask for love and peace. All together: Doyé Siriri!”

23. Vigil and confession outside the cathedral - But like the Apostles Peter
and John on their way to the Temple, who had neither gold nor silver to
give to the paralytic in need, I have come to offer God’s strength and
power; for these bring us healing, set us on our feet and enable us to
embark on a new life, to “go across to the other side” (cf. Lk 8:22).

24. Jesus does not make us cross to the other side alone; instead, he asks
us to make the crossing with him, as each of us responds to his or
her own specific vocation. We need to realize that making this crossing
can only be done with him, by freeing ourselves of divisive notions of
family and blood in order to build a Church which is God’s family,
open to everyone, concerned for those most in need.

25. It is amid unprecedented devastation that Jesus wishes to show his
great power, his incomparable glory (cf. Lk 21:27) and the power of
that love which stops at nothing, even before the falling of the heavens,
the conflagration of the world or the tumult of the seas.

26. God is stronger, more powerful, than all else. This
conviction gives to the believer serenity, courage and the
strength to persevere in good amid the greatest hardships.

27. I renew my closeness to all those among you who are have experienced
sorrow, separation and the wounds inflicted by hatred and war. In such
situations, forgiving those who have done us harm is, humanly speaking,
extremely difficult. But God offers us the strength and the courage to become
those artisans of reconciliation and peace which your country greatly needs.

28. Monday 30-11-2015 - Last day of the papal visit

29. A very important
meeting with the islamic
community and a
message of peace –
Central Mosque
of Koudoukou

30. “Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters.
We must therefore consider ourselves and conduct
ourselves as such….. Those who claim to believe in
God must also be men and women of peace”.

31. Together, we must say no to hatred, no to revenge
and no to violence, particularly that violence which
is perpetrated in the name of a religion or of God
himself. God is peace, God salam.

32. HOLY MASS - at Boganda Stadium. - Let us thank him for
the acts of solidarity and generosity which he inspires in us,
for the joy and love with which he fills our families and our
communities, despite the suffering and violence we some-
times experience, and our fears for the future

33. Let us thank him for his gift of courage, which inspires us to forge
bonds of friendship, to dialogue with those who are different than
ourselves, to forgive those who have wronged us, and to work to build
a more just and fraternal society in which no one is abandoned.

34. Christians of Central Africa,
each of you is called to be,
through perseverance in faith
and missionary commitment,
artisans of the human
and spiritual renewal
of your country.

35. Thank you
Pope Francis
for your
message of
love, peace,
and hope.

36. Love, peace and hope for Africa
and the whole world.

37. For me, a free press, whether independent or religious, provided it is professional –
because what is important is true professionalism, so that the news will not be
manipulated - because reporting injustice and corruption is something important
Press conference returning to Rome

38. ..in an indirect way we do get
involved in politics when we
preach values, true values, and
one of the greatest of those
values is fraternity,
among ourselves.
We are all children of God;
we all have the same Father.
In this sense, we must support a
politics of unity, reconciliation
and tolerance and also
coexistence, friendship!
Fundamentalism is a sickness
which exists in all religions.
We Catholics have some people–
who believe they possess absolute
truth and go around slandering
and defaming everyone else;
they do a lot of harm.
Religious fundamentalism
is not religious.
Why? Because God is missing.
It is idolatrous,
just as money is idolatrous.
Being political, in the sense of winning over people who
have this tendency… that is the “politics” in which we
religious leaders must engage. But fundamentalism,
which always ends up in tragedy or crime, is something
evil, but there is a bit of it in every religion.

39. It strikes me that the question is too narrow, even one-sided. Yes, this is one method.
The Church’s moral teaching is – I think – uncertain about whether it has to do with the
fifth or the sixth commandment: protect life or keep sexual relations open to life? But that
is not the problem. The problem is bigger than that. The question makes me think of what
they once asked Jesus: “Tell us, Master, is it permissible to heal on the Sabbath?” It is a
duty to heal! This question… is it permissible? But malnutrition, exploitation, slave
labour, the lack of drinking water: these are the problems. Let’s not worry about using
this or that bandage for a small wound. The big wound is social injustice, environmental
injustice, the injustice I mentioned with exploitation and malnutrition.

40. They have many values and those values are constructive. I also have the experience of being friends –
this is a strong word, “friends” – with a Muslim: he is a world leader. We can talk: he has his values, I
have mine. He prays, and I pray. Many values… For example, prayer, fasting, religious values but not
only. One can not write off a religion because there are some groups – or sometimes many groups – of
fundamentalists. It is a historical fact that there have always been wars of religion. And we too have to ask
forgiveness…..We too have to ask pardon for cases of fundamentalist extremism, for the wars of religion.
Anyway, [Muslims] have their values and we can dialogue with them. Today I was in the mosque and
I prayed; and the Imam wanted to come with me to circle the little stadium where many people
were not able to fit… And there, on the popemobile, were the Pope and the Imam
FUNDAMENTALISM

41. Africa is a victim. Africa has always been
exploited by other powers. From Africa people
came to America, sold as slaves. There are
powers who seek only to take the great wealth of
Africa, which is perhaps the richest continent…
But they don’t think about helping the country to
grow, about making sure that everyone has a
job… Exploitation. Africa is a martyr.
Historically, it has been a martyr to exploitation.
Perhaps people who associate Africa only with
disasters and wars don’t really understand the
harm done to humanity by some forms of
development. That is why I love Africa, because
Africa has been a victim of other powers.
