St. Bernard Church

We cannot grow accustomed to the bloodshed that has marked the #DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo for decades, causing millions of deaths. The current #peace processes, which I greatly encourage, need to be sustained by concrete deeds, and commitments should be maintained.

The #DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo and #Africa deserve to be respected and listened to. They deserve to find space and receive attention. Stop choking Africa: it is not a mine to be stripped or a terrain to be plundered. May Africa be the protagonist of its own destiny!

Let us #PrayTogether that parishes, placing communion – communion among individuals and ecclesial communion – at the center, might increasingly become communities of faith, of fraternity and of welcoming the most in need. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray
