The response is fraternity 12 March 2021
“The response to war is not another war; the response to weapons is not other weapons. the response is fraternity”, Pope Francis said at the General Audience on Wednesday morning, 10 March, as he recalled his recent Apostolic Journey to Iraq. Addressing the faithful from the private library of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace, he stressed that the people of Iraq have the right to live in peace. The following is a translation of the Holy Father’s catechesis, which he shared in Italian.
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
In the past few days, the Lord allowed me to visit Iraq, carrying out a project of Saint John Paul II. Never before has a Pope been in the land of Abraham. Providence willed that this should happen now, as a sign of hope, after years of war and terrorism, and during a severe pandemic.
After this Visit, my soul is filled with gratitude gratitude to God and to all those who made it possible: to the President of the Republic and the Government of Iraq; to the country’s Patriarchs and Bishops, together to all the ministers and members of the faithful of the respective Churches; to the religious Authorities, beginning with the Grand Ayatollah Al-Sistani, with whom I had an unforgettable meeting in his residence in Najaf.
