17. Courtesy visit to the President of the Republic - in the
private office of the Presidential Palace in Baghdad

19. Meeting with Authorities,
Civil Society and the
Diplomatic Corps
in the hall of the
Presidential Palace
in Baghdad
May God grant that we journey
together as brothers and sisters
in “the firm conviction that
authentic teachings of religions
invite us to remain rooted in the
values of peace… mutual
understanding, human fraternity
and harmonious coexistence”

20. Iraq has suffered the
disastrous effects
of wars, the scourge
of terrorism and
sectarian conflicts
often grounded in
a fundamentalism
incapable of accepting
the peaceful
coexistence of different
ethnic and religious
groups, different
ideas and cultures.

21. Fraternal coexistence calls
for patient and honest
dialogue, protected by
justice and by respect for
law. This task is not easy; it
demands hard work and a
commitment on the part of
all to set aside rivalries
and contrapositions and
instead to speak with one
another from our deepest
identity as fellow children
of the one God and Creator

22. As governmental leaders and
diplomats, you are called to
foster this spirit of fraternal
solidarity. It is necessary,
but not sufficient, to combat
the scourge of corruption,
misuse of power and
disregard for law.
Also necessary is the
promotion of justice and
the fostering of honesty,
transparency and the
strengthening of the
institutions responsible
in this regard.

23. May the clash of
arms be silenced!
May their spread
be curbed, here
and everywhere!
May partisan
interests cease,
those outside
interests
uninterested in the
local population.

24. May the voice of
builders and
peacemakers find
a hearing!
The voice of the
humble, the poor,
the ordinary men
and women who
want to live,
work and pray in
peace.

25. May there be an
end to acts of
violence and
extremism, factions
and intolerance!
May room be made for
all those citizens who
seek to cooperate in
building up this country
through dialogue and
through frank, sincere
and constructive
discussion.

26. In Iraq too, the Catholic Church desires to
be a friend to all and, through interreligious
dialogue, to cooperate constructively with
other religions in serving the cause of peace.

28. Pope Francis greets a crowd of invalides who were waiting for him
outside Our Lady of Salvation Church, Baghdad

29. Meeting with Bishops, Priests, Religious, Consecrated Persons, Seminarians,
Catechists at the Syro-Catholic Cathedral of “Our Lady of Salvation” in Baghdad

30. I thank His Beatitude
Patriarch Ignace
Youssif Younan and His
Beatitude Cardinal
Louis Sako for their
words of welcome.
We are gathered in this
Cathedral of Our Lady of
Salvation, hallowed by the
blood of our brothers and
sisters who here paid the
ultimate price of their fidelity
to the Lord and his Church

31. May the memory of
their sacrifice inspire
us to renew our own
trust in the power
of the cross and its
saving message
of forgiveness,
reconciliation and
rebirth. For Christians
are called to bear
witness to the love
of Christ in every
time and place.

32. The example of the saints
shows us that Christian
discipleship is “not only
something right and true,
but also something beautiful,
capable of filling life with
new splendour and profound
joy, even in the midst
of great difficulties”
(Evangelii Gaudium, 167).
Let us never forget that Christ
is proclaimed above all by the
witness of lives transformed by
the joy of the Gospel. As we see
from the earliest history of the
Church in these lands, a living
faith in Jesus is “contagious”;
it can change the world.

33. misunderstandings can
arise and we can experience
certain tensions; these are
the knots that hinder the
weaving of fraternity.
They are knots we carry
within ourselves; after
all, we are all sinners.
Yet these knots can be untied
by grace, by a greater love;
they can be loosened by the
medicine of forgiveness and by
fraternal dialogue, by patiently
bearing one another’s burdens
(cf. Gal 6:2) and strengthening
each other in moments
of trial and difficulty.

34. take to heart the
admonition of Saint
Ignatius of Antioch:
“Let nothing exist
among you that
may divide you…
but let there be one
prayer, one mind,
one hope, in love
and in joy”
(Ad Magnesios, 6-7: PL 5, 667).

36. May your witness, matured through adversity and strengthened by the blood of
martyrs, be a shining light in Iraq and beyond in order to proclaim the greatness of
the Lord and to make the spirit of this people rejoice in God our Saviour (cf. Lk 1:46-47).

37. Be pastors,
servants of the
people, not civil
servants. Ever a
part of the people
of God, never
apart, as though
you were a
privileged class.

38. (Allah is Great)
