The one who hurts me is my brother and friend. He belongs to the one single human family.
“This conviction has to be strengthened” writes Pope Francis. Pope Francis states „It is never wrong
to do the right thing but doing nothing is the wrong thing‟. According to him families are the first
place where the value of love and fraternity, togetherness and sharing, concern and care for others are
lived out and handed on.

Respect for Human Dignity:
It is the indifference and heartless individualism, religious fanaticism coupled with the
frustrations of jobless youngsters which often cause troubles and results in the death of the millions of
innocent people. The higher value of peace that transcends our individual and immediate needs, are
wilfully forgotten.

No one is useless, no one is expendable.

Every act of cruelty is contrary to human dignity.

We are dependent on one another. We are connected; each of us must be cherished with love
and respect. This shall surely lead the entire humanity to peace and harmony.

Alas, will we be able to live in peace in this world which often forgets love and respect, giving
preference to dominance and the willingness to subjugate others!
