"God's charity, which makes us brothers and sisters, is at the heart of the Gospel, and with Leo XIII, we can ask ourselves today: if this criterion ‘were to prevail in the world, would not all strife cease and peace return?’ (Encyclical Letter Rerum novarum, 21). With the light and strength of the Holy Spirit, let us build a Church founded on God's love and a sign of unity, a missionary Church that opens its arms to the world, proclaims the Word, allows itself to be unsettled by history, and becomes a leaven of harmony for humanity. Together, as one people, as Fratelli tutti [brothers and sisters], let us walk towards God and love one another."
