Um Ento importante a purines Cubasto is Perfume We look at this Earth is thank you Foreign Thank you [Applause] thank you queen look at this area Phenomenal beautiful Investor phenomenon is Janitorium Thank you we look at this Earth is Thank you Thank you foreign [Applause] Thank you foreign Thank you Thank you particular challenge English we thank him for his willingness to share with us his Reflections on the title of this meeting the human existence is an inexhaustible friendship why did we choose this title each day we find an increase in solid existential Solitude of many young people
We see an increase in Conflict a fragmentation of Civil Society the war against Ukraine and in many other places in the world shows hate and violence that would be unheard of and so each of us even in his own life daily life comes every day across an urgency of
Relationships that are true longer lasting more able to face the problems of life and above all more attentive to the destiny of the other and one’s own destiny we want therefore to go to the roots of the relationship that’s most noble that of friendship where is it born from what can generate
It regenerate it what can make it strong a passionate open and why can we speak of a friendship that’s inexhaustible in a certain sense if we ReDiscover the existence the origin of the meeting which is renewed in every meeting we’ve decided together to deepen three aspects that are fundamental of this title
We’ll start with the first one which has to do with the center the verb to be existence to exist in all cultures we can find the desire for friendship even if it’s in forms or accents that are quite different especially in the two great cultures of antiquity that Greek one and the Roman
One they how high is the the esteem they give to Friendship we see in an affirmation from Aristotle nobody in fact he says would choose to live without friends even if he had all other Goods at the same time he says the desire for friendship is born quickly friendship no
So it’s a good that’s highly desirable but in no way immediate reason for which friendship is considered a virtue it is he says it’s perfect on the other hand it’s the Friendship of the good and those who are similar according to Virtue for these effects they equally
Desire Mutual good as a good and are good for themselves and Cicero who together with Aristotle made the most important Reflections on friendship to come from the ancient world we find very similar affirmations I realize this there can be no friendship if not between virtuous people
But the title of this meeting which is drawn from an intervention of Don Jose says something different friendship is not a relationship which is born above all firstly from our virtue that rooted in our capacity but it is offered to us like a datum of existence itself
As we how can we therefore say that our existence is a friendship so let’s start on my side by with my gratitude for being here for being invited to see so many people who are willing to listen to our dialogue so we’ve chosen the form of a dialogue
To bring ourselves closer to what should be the form through which we can comprehend a theme like this that of a comparison with everything and sharing of experiences simply and it says that friendship belongs to experience it’s not a concept to explore that’s simply with your resources and the
Evidences of reason but it’s formed on experience so much so that to discuss friendship without um reading in ourselves the dynamic that’s most profound of our experience because that’s where we we’re not because of a series of encounters for friendships I’ve encountered various friendly faces here coming here
And so this already frees us from moralism from the temptation to dictate forms and rules to the friendship to Beyond outside the experience that we have we need instead to have the humility to interrogate experience and know how to welcome it experience says to us that friendship is one of those
Experiences that touches the Deepest chords of our heart of our life which gives peace Joy but the disappointment in Friendship creates a big disturbance we can also say that it’s possible possible contradictions and even disappointment in friendships don’t put in doubt it’s ideal indeed on the other side we’ve might have
Accumulated various different disappointments and contrary things but that doesn’t take away the from the ideal of friendship that convinces us experiences that there are some relationships some people who come out into out of the Horizon of the people that we know all have all the people have tried to
Define can behind us and without distinguishing it from other forms of affection and love friendship is a form of love it’s maybe it’s interesting for us to pick out certain characteristics that are typical which led us to to say he’s a friend this one this or she is a friend he
This brings us out to us if it attracts us it it brings out joy and sweetness and peace it’s like going towards the friend leaving our own Solitude is already an experience of satisfaction Jesus calls us friends because he has shared with the apostles and therefore with us that which he
Hears from the father to a friend you can say secrets you can bring up relationships with confidence and so you can say speaking of yourself without shame answer the friend then with the friend we meet we mean a communion of intents of affection of wishing the same thing not Desiring
The opposite thing as said the Ancients but it’s a communion that respects the differenceness the alternative the other it doesn’t confound communion with uniformity it doesn’t want to reduce the other to my idea but it recognizes the otherness of it he’s not me he’s other than me has his
Own history his own thought we’re friends we tend towards communion but not to Unity that’s a uniform but the characteristic that’s most important to Friendship is that it’s a form of love of mutual benevolence said the ancients the correspondence the reciprocity in the friend love overcomes the search for your own interests
Instead the in the interests of the other in a correspondent way this is the great proposal of donjosan who says that the secret soul of each relationship is friendship won’t think Desiring the destiny of the other accepting that for the other you are my destiny so if the other recognizes that who acts
Does it for their own to his destiny that is friendship because friendship is a reciprocal going out towards a correspondence and this helps us understand why it’s inexhaustible where the content of love is then the aim of the it’s not limited it can’t be limited if the reason for which we love each
Other is limited it’s not friendship it’s an interest a gratification of of Correspondence perhaps he’s done it goes on to say that the word friendship is close to the world I adore you to the word I adore you because truly we adore the other we love them in God and so friendship
Is this completed idea of Correspondence of going outwards so I want to clarify some points before we go one with us with a citation from Pablo floresky who said that this reciprocity helps to open wide my affection towards everything to everyone what generates friendship Is Charity and charity makes it such that
Each person is my neighbor but not friend I I need I need to love my enemies Jesus has pardoned them those who killed him and floresky says to live among Brothers one must have a friend even if they’re far away in order to be able to treat everyone as
Themselves one must see and feel himself at least in one you need to that this last one could perceive the victory that’s already been attained even a bond above self-sufficiency and Solitude to love all I need to have a point in which this love has become correspondence
Can can feel myself loved that way to desire to love even the other person all of them everyone as my neighbor but there’s another aspect and that is that without this attention to everyone friendship tends to degenerate in a seeking for oneself in egoism selfishness and
Closedness to love all I need to see my true face in someone but if I don’t love all if I don’t tend to generate a reality that’s greater than the confines the the boundless confines of my relationship with one my relationship with one degenerates into selfishness egoism in in a narcissistic mirror
But what is is inexhaustible the Friendship that’s like this read like this by Don joshani because the fundament the foundation of friendship was it fundamental is life in as much as it’s given I want to read if God gives me life if the Creator gives me being
To accept this is the substantial form of friendship from which comes the capacity to establish all other bonds ties because from this point of view all the other links are true if they are in a friendship the most radical form of friendship is to accept each oneself
And and life as given by the mystery of God if I accept my life as given by God I can pardon myself forgive myself I can welcome myself I can decide to welcome everyone instead not welcoming yourself refusing to to recognize this that we come from the
Creative hand of God makes me rancorous a new violent at the end love with which one loves themselves so to understand is the form and root of friendship even Saint Thomas excuse me not just honey I said friendship for the others in the sense that we behave with
Them as we do with ourselves if we accept ourselves because given by God we know how to offer this friendship to all the possibility of Pardon of forgiveness of help possibility of supporting each other in which other people could benefit from the true root of friendship is to accept
Oneself as given by the mystery of God which is Mercy and why friendship because God calls us to be caused us to be recognized and recalled the first object of recognizing and welcoming as a sign of his love is my existence trishani says that as old people you learn that living is
Already a good that existence is the Supreme charity who doesn’t recognize himself as how can they not fail to be violent towards the others are full of rancor towards everything I’m struck by how in deep down violence this like this epidemics start poisoning in the points that are most origin of
Human existence where we learn to be human the family relationships between men and women relationships between mother and child between Father and Son a child that would is called to be the Cradle of friendship in which we learn to love each other it can become ever more places of violence because because it’s
Like there’s a difficulty to an accepting Life as a good that’s given by the Mist by the misery of God the first friend of first form of friendship when we’ve spoken of this title you use Sunderland much this problem with the young people who do ever less experience of this being of
That their life is given to them with all the consequences like that we see but we’re exposed to a Temptation here to think that the good of Life corresponds to the realization of a project that may or may not come in the future or by the consensus of the others
This is an extreme form of alienation not recognizing that life is a good because it’s given by a mystery at least by mystery and seeking the realization of oneself in the agreement of other people it’s like to twisty in a certain way like the realization or in the realization of One’s Own project
This is alienation because it’s like saying the good of life is not now it doesn’t correspond with my being my existence it’s yet to realize through forms through projects through interests that could even be utilizing others exploiting others and this is a problem it’s very grave but we don’t resolve it by discussing
You resolve it in the experience of an encounter in which like floresky said I can read myself as a good and if from this case this good gaze that helps me recognize my life as it is born a relationship of mutual benevolence a relationship that has its content the
Journey towards the good and the truth that’s friendship it helps me to discover the friendship that is the secret content of every report every relationship a second aspect that we’ve shared is the fact that this experience of friendship passes through and it and it’s it’s and is itself passed through the dramaticy
Dramatic things of life betrayals falling like the the evangelicals of gospels say that the two great betrayals those of Judas and then that of Saint Peter only that Saint Peter notwithstanding his betrayal or maybe because of his betrayal of this experience that was so brought him to such a humility that he
Became the custodian of the Friendship of all who follow Jesus it’s the the inexhaustibility shows itself in a way that’s almost incomprehensible Humanity speaking and so the Friendship has its moments of falling but it remains inexhaustible if it’s faithful to this origin the possible contradictions which we can
Face they can delusion us they can hurt us especially in the the most dedicated relationships we we you tend towards love we tend to to want to be together we think about the story of Genesis God was walking uh like a friend with Adam but when man rejects God
Violence is introduced even in the relationship between a man and woman lies then the the Troubles of violence the real point is to to be able to get back to the the fount of friendship to its source and of the the journey that the church makes us continuously take
Our friendship as a the the final source of the mystery of God in and of itself is a a love that runs both ways jusani said that the protagonist of creation is the is supreme friendship is the Trinity this mystery which is reflected in the dynamic of our
Life of our faith we can’t not love we can’t not search for love to try and be loved because that this is how we’re made we are in we are the reflection of God the image of God and God and this relationship between God the Father the
Son and the spirit the great fathers of the church who wrote A a book about love called about friendship this is obviously that human friendships are a reflection of the of the Supreme friendship that is God the inexhaustible friendship a friendship is inexhaustible because it’s its source is inexhaustible which is the
Mystery of being and mercy we would never have known this clearly speaking or with certainty if this mystery hadn’t become man if it hadn’t become our friend or brother if God hadn’t revealed his face in Jesus of Nazareth I’d like to read this homily of uh John Paul II
From a uh a Christmas a long time ago in 1971. God came among us to to be known and in order to be known he became our friend he became one of us he dressed as one of us he became a man he became to be our friend our our
Brother our colleague to make to give us confidence the this friendship makes it clear that we are loved loved beyond our sin beyond our betrayals certainly to to to fail in this final Horizon which is friendship the and God’s mysterious uh Mercy is capable not only to forgive each other’s
Each other but to forgive ourselves to reconcile ourselves with our own history with our own storage is always slightly different to how we’d want it to be so God in Christ talks to us as if we were friends he uh he allows us into communion with himself it’s inexhaustible because it’s it’s
God’s face it’s Christ’s face which in order specifically to forgive us he went up the cross and the story of Peter’s quite incredible because as Benedict XVI told us in an audience with him on the uh by the side of the lake twice Peter has asked do you love me
Using the the Greek verb agapao Jesus asks him if he’s ready to sacrifice and instead the first two times Peter replies with a with a different verb that simply means that yes I I I love you but it’s not as strong it it doesn’t correspond fully to the uh
The question Christ asks him surprisingly the third time Christ asks him it’s Jesus who changes the verb he says uh Peter do you like me and Peter applies yes and it’s like Pope Benedict replied it’s more that Jesus adapted himself to Peter and not the other way around but
This is the Incarnation it’s God who adapts himself to how to our own capacity to love him and takes all uh he can of us and uses us in our entirety and it’s this Divine adaption adjustment that gives hope to his disciple he who knew the suffering of uh of betrayal and
From here comes the truth the trust that makes him capable of following everything to the end to Death giving that confidence he’ll be able to give his own life and so the real problem is is that our fellow humans meet people who love like this who are treated like this that’s
That’s what’s a necessary that’s what people need to be embraced with the same Mercy that God gives that same Mercy as jusani says that until the last life and the last word until betrayal that no matter all uh the bad events that happen to us we are called to be an Embrace of
Mercy for all people [Applause] in this meeting we have the possibility to together remind ourselves of people who’ve lived this kind of inexhaustible friendship as you’ve described it for example Dorothy Day blessed Hernandez from Venezuela to cash in a guy from Japan father Polizzi and father Milani Don Jose himself
These are people who have become to the through the Friendship we’ve kind of loved that we’ve lived a new source of friendship we have many uh interviews or Witnesses of people who these very days in the in the moment live these uh live these experiences like the nuns of uh the nuns
And monks of azer who are here with us who have an amazing an amazing project on display here and of of what they’ve lived in Syria no despite all the destruction and how their presence is a source of Hope for many people so this friendship that extends itself
That becomes involves ever more people around itself What’s the horizon of this uh inexhaustible friendship the pope speaks of social friendship a surprising expression which was already used by John Paul II social friendship as an attempt to brings different social groups together to create Unity that and common good
That’s capable of including even the most poor those who are the most needy that it’s created by a logic of integration of hospitality and not of exclusivity and exclusion such social friendship tends not only to recognize the um the Divinity of the other as a someone that can be spoken to
Someone that as a and more than as just a social construct our starting point that as uh floresky said that man doesn’t stand in front of society as an atom as a as an individual foreski said that the final uh the smallest part of of society isn’t an atom it’s a community
Molecule and the man finds himself within this and he’s Bound by ties of of love his family his mother his father ultimately you know even myself I am the I have a mother and a father I have brothers I have a family ties and then there’s my friends and so on
Society already welcomes us and binds us into these ties of friendship the problem is developing this friendship as a productive Force the and its capacity to to generate and to create a people and this is the real Challenge and it’s a truly amazing challenge the pope said that
We need the desire to be a people the desire to the gratuitous desire to be a people the simple desire to be one people well what does a people do what does that mean what constitutes a people uh people is made of a group of people of individuals
With a certain culture with a certain identity and that’s what we often Define as a people so during the months of lockdown it happened to me to uh I I ran into a certain phrase of Saint Augustine which says that what makes a group of people a group individuals a people
Isn’t a a set of laws nor the converging of interests which could also be lacking the the merging of of interests but rather it’s the experience of an association in in communion of all things and of the things that they love that’s what makes a people
The an agreement of a certain set of things that they all love so much so that he says that the quality of that tie that binds people together depends on the quality of what they love in common so how is it possible for people to love life
They take care of each other they help the poor why do they do this if this not for a kind of desire to spread the friendship that ties them together that ties together family members members of a society friends those who feel themselves identifies members of the Church of our Parish or
Avaya structure of service to others Don justani said friendship is always able to generate and to create a people because through love something human or always is always born and that is an objective good for Humanity and this can help create a people so I think that the the real Topic at hand
Is this of having to renew our identity rebuild the identity of our people it that’s not really possible without a a reviewing of the of all the things that we love together and which ultimately allows us to to call each other call ourselves men brothers especially those who are most the most needy
For us Christians uh those baptized people even if they come from another side of the world from the or from the other side of the ocean they are our friends all men and this is what the pope is talking about social reality expresses the the soul of a people that’s able to love
Is as much as if it was a real true friendship so that’s to say our friendships have a responsibility to generate a people to to look after everyone to take care of each other as I saw in Syria I was visiting a Christian Community there not long ago
And The Works done by AVC or the franciscans helps this ties of friendship that then become a home for for everyone who needs it especially for the most marginalized and the poor as a a sense of a logic of creation it builds a people a community and that generates a good for everyone
Politically this also means that we need to make every effort for the Italian people for it to be born in a set of experiences and to learn to live a set of friendships parishes associations friendships groups of people who set up schools for eternities who who help
Run soup kitchens or help the sick and the poor John Paul II spoke about a kind of creative subjectivity of the citizen social friendship can also mean the prioritizing the creative aspect of society and of friendships that tie people to each other and that allows them to take up a responsibility
To create good to create some spaces of welcoming to think and to create a society in which people are loved and respected in their and held as people worthy of their own dignity and this to me sounds like a good a good idea that the pope is inviting to us on [Applause]
There’s also an aspect of provocation of the other because if I I’m in a relationship with others then I’ll get to know myself more myself it may be in ways that I didn’t expect like I in a relationship with others I discover in them some Goods some good things some
Talents which they may not even have been aware of and so this this Rapport is when this relationship is one that can bring us both to our own truth to the truth of our life the content the true is inexhaustible because there’s a search of truth and truth will never be will
Never finish to grasp it or always on the threshold of this and for this we’re always Beggars it’s a friendship it doesn’t live from possession the possession of the other or the possession of an image of the reality of of reality reduced to one’s image but continuously in the seeking of truth and
The will that the other the desire that the other the loved one could Journey towards his own destiny even at the cost of some sacrifice for me that could even be asked of us to to my interests and once again it’s inexhaustible because it can’t be bounded without this
Perspective of Destiny at the end each one of us was not it doesn’t have a friendship it’s connivance it’s seeking a correspondence like a like Greece like we take one look in the mirror after being after we put on our makeup if you like we it becomes reflected an image
That’s already altered in some way yeah and the friend is a different thing to that this is a beautiful Adventure but I repeat we don’t need to dictate to Friendship a bunch of rules we need to have the Simplicity to listen to our experience and take seriously our need and this can happen
Truly with for everybody every person we’re speaking of these spiritual testimony for the Christian of the trappists one of the trappists of tiberine who was killed with his brethren in 96 after the first warning that the that he wrote down his testimony already thinking of death he says if God
Wills I my gaze could emerge into that of the father to contemplate his sons in Islam the way he looks at them see friendship is this attempt to look at the others with from that other point of view all illuminated by the glory of Christ the fruit of his passion invested
By the gift of the Holy Spirit through which the secret Joy will always be to set up communion playing on the differences playing the differences this for this life that’s lost oh I give Grace to give thanks to God that seems everything for this joy and this grace
In which all is said already of my life I include certain you my friends of yesterday and you friends who there with my my father my mother and my sisters and my brothers and then in these hundred-fold two in the hundred fold has been given as
Promised and you to the friend of the last minute who had never known what what I did I also for you I want this Grace this to God this goodbye this contemplation that’s it’s been given to find ourselves if it’s if you have the chance to find ourselves in
Paradise you’ve got our father please uh if it pleases him of the father of all and so it’s this is comprehensive and if one can say this Grace the grace the thanks of one who recognizes the love that’s greater which welcomes him who welcomes all everyone and that I can
Welcome in myself without this gratitude you can’t be we can’t have gratuitousness and therefore we they can’t be friendship this testamentally certainly is one of the witnesses that’s most most beautiful of friendships dramatic and beautiful of the friendship that which we were speaking of which is also a friendship
That gives this life for others yep I want to go back to one aspect that emerged in a different moments in this encounter which is the family in what sense can you say that the family is even a place of friendship in the sense we were speaking of
In the stricter sense of the term Saint Thomas distinguishes three or four possibilities of friendship and based on what is shared between them because friendship is sharing and enumerates even a political friendship in the way in which the cones sort those those in the same society
That can share in the building of the common good but the first is that form is that of the family and not by chance between men and women it’s full of gratitude gratuitousness of Correspondence and Saint Thomas calls this conjugal friendship this respect for the other becomes care becomes
Desire to to uh to care for to take on the the burden of the destiny of the other and that this French conjugal friendship is the true womb in which uh born they thought children so much so that the same time Saint Thomas spoke of the relationship
Between husband and wife as a kind of spiritual uterus in which the children can grow up so all this that we can say finds there a fundamental Paradigm but also the conjugal friendship must be saved from the perception of this by this perception of this mystery which that the mystery of God the
Mystery of the Trinity that we recognize in the face of Christ and the political friendship political friendship is that which links the deceivers the citizens the neighbors not necessarily those who are identical to me but others and it lives from the sharing of the destiny of the city sharing that Destiny
And so the political friendship is that which links those who have the same preoccupation for the destiny of our society the meeting was born for the friendship between peoples and in in all its 44 years they’ve been many encounters between peoples and cultures that are different from each other but this
Diversity often comes seat lived as a contradiction to the truth that has been met like an obstacle to live that which is closest to my heart how can it we overcome this limit of thinking that the truth Separates Me from the other and it makes me makes it difficult for
Me to encounter them because I’m already in a certain way sorted out so this is violence in which the I and that you are opposed a great Saint John chrysothemum said that these cold Lords me and you that introduce infinite Wars into the world this difference between me and you and
War is born when there’s an opposition is made between what’s mine and what’s yours my interests and yours through which I I don’t recognize dignity to who uh who benefits my interests or my own vision of my interests friendship is something completely different it’s a desire for for truth
And to help for the for the good of the other in front of you and it’s a bit like a test so you have to make sure that this this is uh infinite I’ll never stop reaping the rewards or the the Splendor of this friendship and on the other hand
You have to be able to to Value every small fragment of good that you find in others and so it’s always a question of proximity of friendship because the truth and the what I truly desire is a truth of of a you with a kind of capital T that looks about
Refers to both myself and to another which shines in me and in a in a certain way shines through someone else as well and that’s why I think that the meeting has a great future because in a situation of War like the one that we find ourselves in
We have the possibility to find a place in which we can experiment and find a friendship which doesn’t alter which it Embraces all our diversity in a as a common practice of peace and we really do the world and both we and the world really need this the
Ability to create peace and the final Paradigm the final example is on the cross Christ is our peace because the love that burns in his body he breaks down the walls of enmity let’s not forget that Christ in his body he tore down the wall of separation the wall of enmity
And that’s why friendship is the gift of inexhaustible love that I owe to my fellow humans and so the the encounters the dialogue even with very different cultures isn’t something that can be added with the difficulty to the Christian experience rather it’s integral to it so what I look for it goes
Above and beyond what I already know and what I’ve I think I’ve understood French’s is always only possible when you when when you’re like a beggar in front of the mystery what’s more important what’s most dear to us is greatest it’s always greater and it’s always something we can
Discover and I need the help of everyone’s eyes of everyone’s perspective of everyone’s help I need everybody’s uh testimony on this to try and dig deeper into what’s in my heart and everyone become important in this each one Accord each one you know not everyone is in equal measure and with different means
But if it’s not like this if this doesn’t happen then there’s something that that’s gone wrong it’s like eliminating the mystery of out of existence and out of life so All That Remains is the play is contradictions is opposition always used to say that war is born from idolatry
Because idolatry renders absolute one small part of our experience and to poses and opposes itself to the absoluteness of another experience rather what saves us from this kind of idolatry that generates War which is the idolatry of race of your own interests or of your own your own desire for power
The only thing that stops this is the religious sense as a search for a common good and the Pope in Abu Dhabi wrote a beautiful Manifesto on the human fraternity on human Brotherhood along with the the Imam he wrote and together they wrote this that the important thing for peace is to feed
The religious sense among young people because only the religious sense that is the begging for for Truth for mystery to a God who is all and who has such Embraces everyone this is the the true antidote against uh extremism violence against Power these are all forms of idolatry
And they will never truly uh become the they’ll never truly dominate us for as long as this is true it’s hard to understand how friendship which exists in French in society and which we experience is an absence or that expresses a desire to find it to live it
And we need to let it it’s often rejected it’s not allowed to enter people’s lives how is it possible that something as attractive as friendship as Beauty can be rejected or manipulated so I’d say two things first of all because we need to be able to find a friend first of all
Who fascinates us to attracts us and whose Fascination defeats our own limits because a discussion on friendship doesn’t do it doesn’t help me but having a friend with me someone like Jesus Who Weeps over the uh over the the the the Fallen child over his dead friend Lazarus
A man like this a man whose love is able to penetrate my solitude and open myself to others because this is the this is the true problem the true difficulty rejecting friendship binds me within my own Solitude and makes me Remain the center of attention I put you put yourself first
However a friendship makes you open yourself leave this space leave your bubble we need to live for this kind of beauty I don’t need to ask to live and to be able to offer this friendship this beauty to our brothers and to our fellow humans
And so it’s a kind of Attraction of the relationships we have in the Simplicity of living together and the Simplicity of a Brotherhood which brings together all that is life work study the issues at home or worries about your children does despite this encounter through which Beauty
Induces me to open myself it forces me to open myself and to become a more available and make me act in a way that it’s not let’s say natural but not but not spontaneous we need to let ourselves be loved we have a a great difficulty in letting
Ourselves be loved and then letting ourselves be forgiven why is that because um I swear that only the first three questions were agreed between us the difficulty of Peter who doesn’t want to let him let him let Christ wash his feet by that Master who instead he
Followed but who now is bending himself down over him and over his need the difficulty is that the Temptation the ultimate Temptation was the ultimate sin which is self-sufficiency is the eliminating the other and thinking to being able to save oneself by yourself the mysteries in the mystery of the
Freedom of man who even in front of God can say no but we don’t say no or rarely we say it because very few have had Apparition Supernatural apparitions I think so we say to it to those who love us instead those who truly love us who want to wash our feet who
For an openness a confidence a trust that often is negated is denied for fear of losing ourselves because in Friendship you need to lose yourself a little bit to Define yourself and so to accept to let yourself be loved once one time I met a girl who said that she she had
Difficulty to choose she couldn’t mind could never manage to choose because she was afraid to get it wrong why are you afraid to make mistakes I said because I don’t want to be forgiven she said because letting yourself be forgiven means accepting to depend on another instead it’s a good dependency and it
Makes your life more sweet and so that’s really the truth of life is to accept to accept to be loved I think that in this last observation it’s something’s really emerged in profundity that many things that we’ve said in this encounter and so I’ll leave this image there
And which he’ll give to all of us which he gave to all of us that of living friendship as begging that seems to me also a suggestion to really take to our hearts thank you very much your Excellency [Applause] I think his Excellency I think all those
Of you I think that his words and even his testimony can be a great chance to live this meeting great enrichment in all of the richness that you see which is born by many friendships because the meeting is always brought from many friendships thank you all and good meeting [Applause] Thank you [Applause] Senses Thank you Sincerely JoJo All experience phenomenal beautiful Foreign Foreign Foreign Thank you [Applause] simply Thank you
