LETTER TO THE POPE

BENEDETTO XVI

TEXT OF POPE´S LETTER TO BRITISH PRIME MINISTER
François Xavier Nguyen van Thuân

"Non di rado,
nel mondo moderno,
ci sentiamo perdenti.
Ma l’avventura della speranza ci porta oltre.

Un giorno ho trovato scritto su un calendario queste parole:

«Il mondo è di chi lo ama e sa meglio dargliene la prova».

Quanto sono vere queste parole!

Nel cuore di ogni persona c’è un’infinita sete d’amore e noi, con quell’amore che Dio ha effuso nei nostri cuori, possiamo saziarla"
