Transcripts For CSPAN2 Pope 20240703

Collects all of this and i dont know if you can see them, but the pope is with us today. And looking in on us. There he is. We were so honored to have you join us this year. Youre speaking to a room full of people from all over the world. From all walks of life. Who each in their own way are trying to follow the admonition of isaiah. Who told us we had to be repairers of the breach. They know our world is broken in many ways but also full of many possibilities. They are trying to make the most of their ability to make a difference. I thought it would be interesting, given for me a wonderful meeting a few weeks ago if you could say what you believe about the obligations of ordinary people to make a difference. To deal with the big challenges that are so big no person no matter how wealthy or powerful no person can believe that he or she could do them alone. Ordinary people supposed to do with their days that will make our societies better . Or our problems a less severe . We cannot hear. [inaudible] [background noises] thank you, mr. President. Or invite me too your meeting. Thank you very much. It is important a culture of encounter from a culture of dialogue. A culture of listening and of understanding. It is necessary to share thoughts on how to contribute to the common good. And how it not to leave behind the most Vulnerable People such as children. The patrons are at the root of this meeting. We all know it we are living there changing as expert only together can we emerge from it better. Together. All eat together can we heal the world. Globalization of indifference. You, mr. President , helpless of the many challenges of our time. Humanitarian crises affecting migrants and refugees and childcare and many others. I would add to the wind of war that blows around the world you link with the spirit of war what i have repeatedly called the third world war. We are in need of a great and shared assumption of responsibility. No child is too great if we meet at starting with personal conversion the personal conversion of each of us. The personal contribution that each of us can make to solve it. Ed from an awareness of what it is that makes this part. No challenge can be overcome alone. Not alone, only together. The sisters and brothers, children of god. This is why i always encourage and i want to do so here as well for all women and men of goodwill not to give up in the face of difficult times. Difficulties are part of life. In the best way to deal with them is to always seek the common good, never alone. Always together. Difficulties can bring out the best or worst in us. There in lies our challenge. Fighting selflessness, narcissism, division, with generosity and humility. Better unity than conflicts. It is time to find the path of peace the change. It is time for weapons to cease and for us to return to dialogue. To diplomacy. But the designs of conquest and military aggression cease. That is why i repeat no to war. No to war. It is time to Work Together to stop the ecological catastrophe before it is too late. That is why ive chosen to write a new document 10 years after the publication. Let us stop while there is still time, please. Please let us stop while there is still time. It is time to face migration emergencies or a memory that we are not talking about numbers but about people. Men, women, and children. When we talk about migration lets think about the eyes of the children we have seen in refugee camps. It is time to think about the youngest, the children of their education and their care. As you know mr. President , this meeting of hours stems from a great project i care about very much. It is about children and their health. Very special hospital. The world known as the popes hospital but to me that is not why it is unique. It is evident are great little hospital cannot solve the problems of all of the children in the world. However, it seeks to be a sign a testimony that it is possible with the many struggles to bring together worth caring for children and the gratuitous welcoming of people in need. Rarely are these two things found together. At such a high level. The hospital welcomes children. Here in the vatican two or three times the helicopter has arrived with children who need urgent help from different parts of the world. In these terrible months marked by war as are treated more than 2000 small patients from ukraine and the healthcare sector today, more than ever, the first and most concrete form of charity is science the capacity to care. Which it must be accessible to all. The hospital is a concrete sign of charity and mercy. Of the church. There are illnesses that cannot be cured. But there are no children who cannot be cared for. Lets keep this in mind but thee are illnesses that cannot be cured but there are no children who cannot be cared for. This is the distinctive feature of the hospital. Thank you, mr. President. Thank you all. And i wish you all a nice day. [applause] thank you so much. It is wonderful to see you again. And thank you for saying something that i hope will mean something to every person. Because one of the things that we tried to do which is difficult and any life but especially public life is to convince every person that he or she has a role to play. Without regard to their age or their standing. You make us all feel empowered. And perhaps that is your greatest power that you make everybody. Even people who arent members of the Roman Catholic church feel they have power and therefore they have responsibility. It is an extraordinary gift and i thank you for that. And i know you have a busy day. I wonder if theres anything else you want to say. I thank you what you for what you said about the children and what you said about Climate Change. Do you have any other message for us before you go . Anything you want to make sure we take to heart . Children and Climate Change please. On Climate Change let us take action before it is too late.
