The inter-religious Declaration of Lyons, signed by Jews, Muslims and Christians, the latter represented by delegates of multiple confessions, ends like this: "Our assertion of a God who surpasses us but wants the best for us and makes us particularly attentive to justice. Our faith, sometimes and despite everything, forces us to take position towards and against everything in favour of justice. Justice does not belong either to us or to anyone else, because it is given us through faith in a fair God. This faith can make us protest vigorously to legal or social developments that we think threaten justice or the holy character of the human being. But the very same need for justice also applies to us. Through our communities, we sometimes give a weakened or false image of God’s justice and mercy. We commit ourselves to work day after day to make ourselves more faithful to what God expects of us". The reading of the text, which was begun by card. Philippe Barbarin, archbishop of Lyons, was interspersed with music and ended with the song of the youth of the Movimento dei Focolari.
