World Day of Migrants and Refugees: ‘Let us not cause Hope to Shipwreck ‘- Pope Francis in Marseilles
Pope Francis noted that Marseille is characterized by great religious and cultural pluralism, and in this sense, the city itself “stands at a crossroads: encounter or confrontation,” he said, and thanked all those who assist migrants and promote their development and integration.
As religious leaders, “We look to the pioneers and witnesses of dialogue,” he said, saying, “You are the Marseille of the future. Go forward without discouragement, so that this city may be for France, Europe and the world a mosaic of hope.”
