Pope sends message to UNESCO 'Reinventing Peace' meeting

(Vatican Radio)  Pope Francis on Tuesday sent a message to the ‘Reinventing Peace’ meeting organized by UNESCO, the UN’s cultural heritage arm, and the Focolari Movement.

The meeting celebrates the 20th anniversary of Chiara Lubich being awarded the UNESCO Peace Education Prize.

The Holy Father encouraged the meeting’s participants to “research and develop effective ways to ‘reinvent’ a peace which is the fruit of integral development for all and of an effective awareness of the universal community founded upon respect, listening, attention to the needs of each person, justice, dialogue, and sharing”.
