Pope Francis' visit to Thailand and Japan emphasized themes of tolerance, love, and community engagement, urging young people to embrace their dreams and fulfill their unique missions. He highlighted the importance of caring for the environment and addressing social disparities, calling for intergenerational solidarity and greater compassion in society. The visit included meetings with various leaders and communities, where the Pope reinforced the role of faith in fostering dialogue and understanding among different cultures and religions.

JAPAN

3. Private visit to Emperor Naruhito
at the Imperial Palace

5. Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako

6. Meeting with Young People
at the Cathedral of Holy Mary

7. The great religions, all the
religions that we practice,
teach tolerance, teach
harmony, teach mercy;
religions do not teach fear,
division and conflict. For
us Christians, we hear
Jesus constantly telling his
followers not to be afraid.
Why? Because if stand
with God and we love God
and our brothers and
sisters, this love casts out
fear (cf. 1Jn 4:18).

8. And if you find it hard to pray,
don’t give up. A wise spiritual
guide once said: prayer is
mostly just a matter of being
there. Be still; make space for
God to come in; let him look
at you and he will
fill you with his peace.
a community or even
a whole society can be highly
developed on the outside,
but have an interior life
that is impoverished and
underdeveloped, lacking
real life and vitality;

9. a young person who does not dream is a terrible thing, one who
does not make space for dreaming, for God to enter in, for dreams
to enter in so that the person can live a fruitful life.
There are men and women who have forgotten how to laugh,
who do not play, who have no sense of wonder or surprise.

10. “Loneliness and
the feeling of
being unloved
is the most terrible
form of poverty”.
“For whom do I live?
Certainly, for God. But he has
decided that you should also be
for others, and he has given
you many qualities,
inclinations, gifts and charisms
that are not for you, but to
share with those around you”
(Christus Vivit, 286),

11. we also need to learn how to breathe spiritually,
through prayer and meditation, in an inward movement
by which we can hear God speak to us in the depths of our heart.

12. Yet we also need an outward movement, by which we
reach out to others in acts of love and acts of service.

13. This double motion is what enables us to grow, and to discover not only that we are
loved by God, but that he has called each of us to a unique mission and vocation.
We will discover
this to the extent
that we give
ourselves to others,
to specific persons.

14. Because to be happy, we need to ask others to help us,
to have the photo taken by someone else. We need to go out of
ourselves towards others, especially those most in need
(cf. Christus Vivit, 171).

15. Do I have a restless heart that prompts me continually to ask myself about life,
about myself, about others, about God? With the right answers, you pass an exam,
but without the right questions you do not pass the exam of life!

16. Holy Mass in the Tokyo Dome

17. the mountain is
the place where God
reveals himself and makes
himself known.
“Come up to me”,
God says to Moses
(cf. Ex 24:1).
A mountain whose
summit is not reached by
willpower or social
climbing, but only by
attentive, patient and
sensitive listening to
the Master at every
crossroads of
life’s journey

18. In Jesus, we encounter
the summit of what it
means to be human;
he shows us the way
that leads to a
fulfillment exceeding
all our hopes and
expectations.
In him, we encounter
a new life, where we
come to know the
freedom of knowing
that we are God’s
beloved children.

19. the freedom of being God’s
children can be repressed
and weakened if we are
enclosed in a vicious circle
of anxiety and competition,
or if we focus all our
attention and energy on
the frenetic pursuit of
productivity and
consumerism as the sole
criterion for measuring
and validating our choices,
or defining who we are or
what we are worth.

20. the many people who
are socially isolated.
They remain on the
margins, unable to grasp
the meaning of life and
their own existence.
Increasingly, the home,
school and community,
which are meant to be
places where we support
and help one another,
are being eroded by
excessive competition
in the pursuit of
profit and efficiency

21. “Do not be anxious
about your life…
about tomorrow”
(cf. Mt 6:25.31.34).
This is not an encouragement
to ignore what happens
around us
or to be irresponsible
about our daily duties
and responsibilities. Instead,
it is an invitation to set our
priorities against a broader
horizon of meaning and thus
find the freedom to see things
his way: “Seek first the
kingdom of God and his
righteousness, and all these
things shall be yours as well”
(Mt 6:33).

22. the Bible tells us how our world,
teeming with life and beauty,
is above all a precious
gift of the Creator:
“God saw everything that
he had made, and indeed,
it was very good” (Gen 1:31).
God offers us this beauty and
goodness so that we can
share it and offer it to others,
not as masters or owners,
but as sharers in God’s same
creative dream.
“Genuine care for our own lives
and our relationships with nature
is inseparable from fraternity,
justice and
faithfulness to others”
(Laudato Si’, 70).

23. we are invited
as a Christian community
to protect all life
and testify with wisdom and courage
to a way of living marked by gratitude
and compassion, generosity
and simple listening.

24. The proclamation of the Gospel of Life
urgently requires that we as a community
become a field hospital, ready to heal wounds
and to offer always a path
of reconciliation and forgiveness.

25. For the Christian, the only possible measure
by which we can judge each person and situation
is that of the Father’s compassion for all his children.

26. United to the Lord, in constant cooperation
and dialogue with men and women of good will,
including those of other religious convictions,
we can become the prophetic leaven of a society
that increasingly protects and cares for all life.

29. Meeting with the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Kantei
I have come to confirm Japanese Catholics in their faith, their charitable outreach
to those in need and their service to the country of which they are proud citizens

30. A culture of encounter and dialogue, marked by wisdom, insight and breadth of vision,
is essential for building a more just and fraternal world

32. Meeting with Authorities and the Diplomatic Corps at Kantei

33. Good relations between the different
religions are not only essential for a
future of peace, but for training
present and future generations to
cherish the ethical principles that
serve as the foundation for a truly
just and humane society

35. In the words of the Document on Human Fraternity that I signed with
the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar last February, our shared concern for
the future of the human family impels us to the “adoption of a culture
of dialogue as the path; mutual cooperation as the code of conduct;
reciprocal understanding as the method and standard”.

37. No visitor to Japan can fail to be moved by the sheer natural beauty of this country,
long celebrated by its poets and artists, and symbolized above all by the image of the
cherry blossom. Yet the very delicacy of the cherry blossom reminds us of the fragility
of our common home, subjected not only to natural disasters but also to greed,
exploitation and devastation at the hands of human beings.

39. As the international community struggles to honor its commitments to protecting
creation, it is the young who are increasingly speaking up and demanding
courageous decisions. They challenge us to see that the world is not a possession
to be squandered, but a precious legacy to be handed down. For our part,
“we owe them real answers, not empty words; actions not illusions”
(Message for the 2019 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation).

40. an integral approach
to the protection of
our common home
must also consider
its human ecology.
A commitment to protection
means confronting the
growing gap between
rich and poor in
a global economic system
that enables a select few
to dwell in opulence while
the majority of the world’s
population lives in poverty

41. General Cultural Assocciation Miss International Tour

42. Human dignity needs to be
at the center of all social,
economic and political activity;
intergenerational solidarity must
be fostered, and at every level of
community life concern must be
shown for those who are
forgotten and excluded.

44. the civility of every
nation or people is
measured not by
its economic
strength, but by
the attention it
devotes to those
in need and its
capacity to be
fruitful and
promote life.

45. Visit to Sophia University

46. Mass with the Jesuit community at Sophia
University

49. Ashikaga school and city
Japan has been able to integrate
the thinking and the religions of
Asia as a whole, and to create a
culture with a well-defined
identity. The Ashikaga School,
which so impressed Saint Francis
Xavier, is an example of the
capacity of Japanese culture to
absorb and to pass on knowledge.

51. it is important that they preserve their
autonomy and freedom, for the sake of a
better future. Since universities continue
to be the primary place where future
leaders are trained, it is necessary that a
breadth of knowledge and culture inspire
every aspect of the life of educational
institutions, making them ever more
inclusive and capable of generating
opportunities and social advancement.

52. In order to manage our resources in constructive and efficient
ways, we have always been in need of true sophia, true
Wisdom. In a society as competitive and technologically
oriented as present-day Japan, this university should be a
center not only of intellectual formation, but also a place where
a better society and a more hope-filled future can take shape.

53. The Ignatian tradition, on which Sophia is based, ought to inspire professors and
students alike to create an atmosphere that fosters reflection and discernment

54. the accompaniment of young people is an important priority worldwide,
and that all Ignatian institutions must foster that accompaniment

55. Quality university education should not be the privilege of a few,
but constantly informed by the effort to serve justice and the common good.
A service to be carried out by each one in the sector
in which he or she is called to work.

56. The Lord and his Church are counting on you to share in the
mission of seeking, finding and spreading divine Wisdom, and
thus offering joy and hope to present-day society

57. Farewell Ceremony at Tokyo-Haneda Airport

59. Pope Francis bids farewell to Japan

60. Pope Francis, militant apostle of the Church
And untiring preacher of the gospel
says sayónara to the Japanes people,
a nation of fighters and workers.
May his visit renew the impulse of evangelisation
in this land rich in culture and tradition.
