My beloved brothers and sisters, Today, we gather in humility and love, united by the burning desire for peace in our world. As the wise words of our ancestors teach us, Peace is the way. What a profound truth lies in this simple statement! For it is on the journey to peace that we find true fulfillment as children of God. May we tread this path together, with open hearts and receptive minds, seeking to understand and embrace one another. For it is only through sincere dialogue and mutual respect that we can build bridges across the divisions that separate us. We must not fear the challenges we encounter along the way of peace. On the contrary, we must face them with courage and determination, remembering that each obstacle is an opportunity to grow in compassion and solidarity. May each of us become an instrument of peace in our world, radiating love and kindness wherever we go. For, as the psalmist reminds us, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. May the Holy Spirit, the source of all peace, guide our steps and strengthen us in our commitment to build a world where justice and reconciliation reign supreme. Peace be with you.
