EUROPE AND YOUTH: FR. ALIS (TAIZÉ), "BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN" ARE NEEDED (2)

” “In our countries – frère Alois reminded the young people who were gathered last night in the Cathedral of Brussels – there are many people who have no access to primary goods. It is urgent to overcome the walls of nationalism and religious extremism and offer friendliness. Let’s look for bonds and relations with the communities of other countries. We can give our contribution to the building of our Continent if we refuse to hand down the scourges and wounds of the past. Let’s hand down hope, let’s opt ffr solidarity". At the beginning of the vigil, the archbishop of Brussels, card. Godfried Danneels, gave his welcome address: "there will never be peace in the world if man does not make peace with God first. It takes humbleness, courage and trust". ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” “
