Pope Francis Delivers Message at Symposium Marking 10th Anniversary of Evangelii Gaudium
Vatican City – Pope Francis delivered a powerful message at a symposium marking the 10th anniversary of the publication of the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium. The symposium, organized under the leadership of the Dicastery for Integral Human Development, saw the Pope praise zealous missionaries who continue to evangelize even in unfavorable circumstances.
The Pope emphasized that the Church is not getting tired of their persecutions but is providing a model of growth for all. He stressed that this model is particularly suitable for the proclamation of the Gospel in today’s world, which requires a counter-cultural prophetic resistance against a system that destroys human dignity.
Pope Francis highlighted the danger of political and ideological evangelization, instead emphasizing the importance of a pure and simple model of love in the mission of the Gospel. He underscored the necessity of including every poor person in the life of the church and prioritizing the value of every individual’s life.
Furthermore, the Pope called for the respect of freedom and culture within each nation, emphasizing that the planet is for all humanity and that where one is born does not justify the way some people live. He urged everyone to work towards sustainable development and peace in order to fulfill the evangelical mission and live the life that Jesus teaches.
The Pope’s message comes at a time of great global challenges, and his words serve as a reminder of the importance of love, inclusion, and respect in the mission to spread the Gospel. As the Church marks the 10th anniversary of Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis’s message provides a powerful call to action for all to live out the values of love, respect, and inclusion in their lives and in their communities.
