in the "Inner Ivory Room" of the Government House

27. Meeting with Authorities, Civil Society and the Diplomatic Corps
in the "Inner Santi Maitri" Hall of the Government House

28. DISCOURSE TO THE AUTHORITIES
I would like personally to assure you of the full
commitment of Thailand’s small but vibrant
Catholic community to maintain and promote
the distinctive characteristics of the Thai
people, as evoked in your national anthem:
peaceful and loving, but not cowardly. They are
likewise firmly resolved to confront all that
would lead us to be insensitive to the cry of our
many brothers and sisters who yearn to be freed
from the yoke of poverty, violence and injustice.
This land bears the name “freedom”.
We know that freedom is possible only if we are
capable of feeling co-responsible for one
another and of eliminating every form of
inequality. Hence the need to ensure that
individuals and communities can have access to
education, dignified labour and health care,
and in this way attain the indispensable minimal
levels of sustainability that can enable an
integral human development.

29. The global crisis of migration cannot be
ignored. Thailand itself, known for the
welcome it has given to migrants and
refugees, has experienced this crisis as a
result of the tragic flight of refugees from
nearby countries. Once more, I express my
hope that the international community will
act with responsibility and foresight, will
work to resolve the issues that have led to
this tragic exodus, and will promote
safe, orderly and regulated migration.
May every nation devise effective means
for protecting the dignity and rights of
migrants and refugees, who face dangers,
uncertainty and exploitation in their quest
for freedom and a decent life for their
families. It is not just about migrants;
it is also about the face we want
to give to our societies.

30. Here I think, too, of all those women and
children of our time, especially those who
are wounded, violated and exposed to every
form of exploitation, enslavement, violence
and abuse. I express my appreciation for the
Thai government’s efforts to extirpate this
scourge, and for all those private
individuals and organizations working to
uproot this evil and to provide ways to
restore their dignity. In this year that marks
the thirtieth anniversary of the Convention
on the Rights of the Child and Adolescent,
we are all invited to reflect on the need to
protect the welfare of our children, their
social and intellectual development, their
access to schooling, and their physical,
psychological and spiritual growth
(cf. Address to the Diplomatic Corps, 7
January 2019). The future of our peoples is
linked in large measure to the way we will
ensure a dignified future to our children.

31. Visit to the Supreme Buddhist Patriarch
at Wat Ratchabophit Sathit Maha Simaram Temple

33. Pope Francis is received by the supreme Budhist Patriarch,
Somdej Phra Maha Muneewong

34. Our meeting takes place as part of the journey of esteem
and mutual recognition initiated by our predecessors

35. Meeting with the medical staff of St. Louis Hospital

40. Private visit to sick and disabled people
at St. Louis Hospital

43. Lunch at the Apostolic Nunciature

46. Private visit to His Majesty the King Maha Vajiralongkorn "Rama X"
at Amphorn Royal Palace

48. Exchanging gifts with the King Maha and Queen Suthida of Thailand

49. Holy Mass in the National Stadium

53. “Whoever does
the will of my Father
in heaven is
my brother, sister,
and mother”
Christianity would have lacked
your face. It would have lacked
the songs and dances
that portray the Thai smile,
so typical in your lands.
The missionaries came to
understand more fully the
Father’s loving plan, which is
not limited to a select few or a
specific culture, but is greater
than all our human
calculations and predictions.

66. Meeting with Priests, Religious, Seminarians and Catechists
in St Peter’s Parish

69. I believe that the history of each of our vocations
is marked by those people who helped us discover
and discern the fire of the Spirit

70. The Lord did not call us and send us forth into the world to impose obligations on people,
or to lay heavier burdens than those they already have, which are many,
but rather to share joy, a beautiful, new, surprising horizon.

71. We need to seek new ways of transmitting the word, ways that are capable of
mobilizing and awakening a desire to know the Lord. Who is that man?
Who are these people who follow a man who was crucified?

72. Meeting with the Bishops of Thailand and FABC
at the Blessed Nicholas Bunkerd Kitbamrung Shrine

73. Blessed Nicholas
Bunkerd Kitbamrung,
devoted his life to
evangelization and
catechesis, forming
disciples of the Lord,
primarily in Thailand
but also in part of
Vietnam and along
the border with Laos,
and crowned
his witness to Christ
with martyrdom.

74. The Holy Spirit is the first to invite the Church to
go forth to all those places where new narratives
and paradigms are being formed,
bringing the word of Jesus to the inmost soul
of our cities and cultures

75. the Gospel is a gift to be shared with and for everyone:
shared among all people, the doctors of the law, sinners,
tax collectors, prostitutes. With and for all sinners, then as now.

76. “The Church is an evangelizer, but she begins by being evangelized herself. She is the
community of believers, the community of hope lived and communicated, the community
of brotherly love, and she needs to listen unceasingly to what she must believe, to her reasons
for hoping, to the new commandment of love” (Evangelii Nuntiandi, 15).

77. Purified by the Lord, she becomes a witness by vocation.
A Church that goes forth, unafraid to take to the streets
and come face to face with the lives of the people entrusted to her care,
is a Church able to be open in humility to the Lord

78. The Holy Spirit is the true protagonist who propels us,
as sinners who have been forgiven;
he constantly sends us forth to share this treasure in earthen vessels (cf. 2 Cor 4:7).
We have been transformed by the Spirit in order to transform wherever we are placed.

79. Private meeting with the Members of the Society of Jesus
in a hall close to the Shrine

80. Meeting with the Leaders of the Christian denominations
and Other Religions at Chulalongkorn University

81. The times in which we live
summon us to build solid
foundations, anchored on respect
for, and recognition of, the dignity
of persons, the promotion of an
integral humanism alert to and
concerned for the protection of
our common home, and a
responsible stewardship that
preserves the beauty and richness
of nature as a right fundamental
for existence.
The great religious traditions of
our world bear witness to a
transcendent and widely shared
spiritual patrimony that can make
a solid contribution in this area, if
only we are able to encounter one
another without fear.

85. Holy Mass with Young People
in the Cathedral of the Assumption

87. Rooted in Christ,
view all things with
the joy and confidence
born of knowing that
the Lord has sought us
out, found us and loved
us infinitely.
Friendship cultivated
with Jesus is the oil
needed to light up your
path in life and the path
of all those around you.

88. Farewell Ceremony
at Military Air Terminal 2 of Bangkok
