Meeting with some Buddhists and Catholics

At 9:00am today (Rome time), the Holy Father, Pope Francis received in audience, in the annex of the Paul VI Hall, a group of persons participating in a dialogue between Buddhists and Catholics from the United States of America.  This meeting was organized by the Focolare Movement and by the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue.


Greetings of the Holy Father, Pope Francis
for the meeting with Buddhists and Catholics

Your Eminence,
Brothers and sisters, good morning.

I thank you for this visit which I hold so close to my heart, a fraternal visit made up of dialogue and friendship.  This is good, this is healthy.  At this moment in history, when so many are wounded by war and hatred, these small gestures are seeds of peace and fraternity.  Thank you very much.

May the Lord bless you.
