Pope Francis Message for Christmas: The Pope encouraged operators and volunteers of the “Mensajeros de la Paz” group to “help resolve conflicts so that peace may follow” in a video message recorded this month during a meeting with Father Garcia Rodriguez, founder and President of the “Mensajeros de la Paz” association.

“To each and every one of you, brothers and sisters of the family of Mensajeros de la Paz, who carry a good message not only in words, but in everything you do, you create an atmosphere of love, you solve problems, and you know how to speak coherently with your works and with your heart, I say this: you know how to speak coherently with your works and with your heart. “I want to congratulate you, and I want you to keep going!” he said her.

The Pope extended his gratitude to the attendees for their role as peacemakers before explaining that peace is not a destination but rather a condition of being that can only be realised if violent conflict is resolved.

He expressed concern over the current state of international peace and made a plea for all involved in conflict to work toward peaceful resolutions.

Pope Francis message for Christmas encouraged the Messengers of Peace to “keep making a scene” because he believes that this is exactly what society requires at this time.
