On 8th October, in the Paul VI Hall, our brother Fernando Cordero sscc - who is currently serving as a member of the communications team of the General Secretariat of the Synod - recorded a short message of Pope Francis. Fernando had informed the Pope that he manages a programme on YouTube inspired by the Pope’s Magisterium on the peripheries and the figure of Saint Damien of Molokai.
The Pope said the following in the video message:
"To the followers of the Cruzando Fronteras programme I extend my greetings. I invite you to take courage to cross borders like Father Damien, who gave his life crossing borders. The life of a Christian is always about crossing frontiers (internal, external), whatever the Lord asks of you. Pray for me. I pray for you. And don't lose your sense of humour.”
He then gave his blessing.
