Dear Brothers and Sisters,

After having reflected in past years on the verbs “to go and see” and “to listen” as conditions for good communication, with this Message for the LVII World Day of Social Communications, I would like to focus on “speaking with the heart”. It is the heart that spurred us to go, to see, and to listen, and it is the heart that moves us towards an open and welcoming way of communicating. ( Message of the Holy Father on this 57th WORLD DAY OF COMMUNICATIONS).

May the Lord Jesus,

the pure Word poured out from the heart of the Father,

help us to make our communication clear, open, and heartfelt.

May the Lord Jesus,

the Word made flesh, help us listen to the beating of hearts,

to rediscover ourselves as brothers and sisters,

and to disarm the hostility that divides.

May the Lord Jesus,

the Word of Truth and love,

help us speak the truth in charity,

so that we may feel like protectors of one another.
