MESSAGE OF Pope Francis
FOR THE 49th
WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY
Communicating the Family:
A Privileged Place of Encounter with the Gift of Love
http://bit.ly/WCDMessage49
The media can help communication when they enable people to share
their stories, to stay in contact with distant friends, to thank others or
to seek their forgiveness, and to open the door to new encounters. By
growing daily in our awareness of the vital importance of encountering
others, these “new possibilities”, we will employ technology wisely,
rather than letting ourselves be dominated by it.
