We belong to one family
|
||

Differences in race, religion, economy, politics and culture must not cause hatred, hostility or conflict. Instead, these differences are opportunities for loving one another. This love calls us to make sacrifices and turn away from the greed for pleasures and selfishness, and to enter into the lives of migrants and refugees to get to know them, accept them and walk with them. |
