Let Us Never Lose Hope! God Loves

Oh Mary, Star Of The Sea, Once Again We Recourse To Thee, To Find Refuge And Sernity, To Implore Your Protection And Help. Mother Of God And Our Mother, Turn Your Sweet Gaze Towards Those Who Face The Dangers Of The Sea Everyday To Guarantee Their Families The Necessary Sustenance For Life, To Protect The Respect Of Creation, To Serve Peace Between Peoples.

To All Of You, I Repeat: Do Not Let Yourselves Be Robbed Of Hope! Do Not Let Yourselves Be Robbed Of Hope! And Not Only That, But I Say To Us All: Let Us Not Rob Others Of Hope, Let Us Become Bearers Of Hope!

I Think With Great Affection And Deep Gratitude Of My Venerable Predecessor, Benedict Xvi, Who During These Years Of His Pontificate Has Enriched And Strengthened The Church With His Teaching, His Goodness, His Guidance, His Faith, His Humility, And His Gentleness, Which Will Remain A Spiritual Heritage For All.

Before All Else, The Gospel Invites Us To Respond To The God Of Love Who Saves Us, To See God In Others And To Go Forth From Ourselves To Seek The Good Of Others.

Do Not Feel Discouraged By All The Challenges And Hardships You Might Face. I Ask You Not To Forget That, Like Those Who Came Here Before You, You Bring Many Gifts To This New Nation Of Yours.
