This morning, the Vatican Press Centre published a Message which the Holy Father, Pope Francis has sent to those who are participating in The Meal of Encounter, organized by Caritas Rome, Caritas International and Caritas Italy, at the San Giovanni Paolo II canteen in Rome, as part of the Share the Journey campaign, during the World Week of Action (17-24 June), which includes moments of exchange on the theme f migration and action of various kinds.
Dear brothers and dear sisters,
With this message, I wish to encourage you to continue your journey with migrants and refugees and to share a meal with them, such as the one that has been organized here by Caritas.
Like Caritas, you have accepted the invitation to launch an initiative of sensitization on a world scale of support for migrants and refugees: this is the campaign known as Let's share the journey, which we began together on 27 September. Today, I wish to invite everyone - migrants, refugees, Caritas workers and institutions - to understand even better the features of this journey that have marked you the most: what hopes does this path point to? Try to share these thoughts and to celebrate everything that we have in common.
Finally, I want to encourage you who are part of Caritas, the community of the faithful and your pastors, and all people of good will to always create new spaces for sharing, for it is through our encounters that we can plant the seeds of renewed fraternity with migrants and refugees.
With all my heart, I bless your meal and I hope that you enjoy your lunch.
