Rome, 14 Sept. (LaPresse) – “Best wishes, Pope Leo! Today, on the occasion of your 71st birthday, I would like to recall the words you addressed this summer to the many young people gathered at the Rimini Meeting: ‘Let there not only be those who fan the flames of weariness and despair; let there also be those who rekindle dreams and visions’. A powerful spur for us all. Faced with the complexity of the challenges of our time, it is easy to succumb to weariness, resignation and the belief that the problems are too great to be solved. But giving up is the easy way out; it is not the path that bears fruit. Each of us is called, instead, to overcome resignation and to become a guardian and champion of an active hope, capable of rekindling dreams and translating visions into concrete actions.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote this on social media. “May his journey in the service of the Church, the people of God and all humanity continue for a long time to come. Thank you, Holy Father,” concluded the Prime Minister.
Pope, Meloni: “Best wishes to the Holy Father, a powerful inspiration to overcome resignation”
