“It is from the humanity of women and men that energies can be drawn to reject conformity, passivity, hatred, aversion to the different, to the foreigner, to educate for peace,” Mattarella added, wishing “to the Meeting, to all those who will participate in the days in Rimini, to continue to generously build horizons of humanity.”

“The concluding verse of Dante’s Comedy – ‘The love that moves the sun and the other stars’ – does not only express a feeling of individual experience. The love that opens to others, beyond ourselves and our present, is an inner force that takes on a relational and, therefore, social, precious dimension. Binding the I to the you, to the we, breaks solitudes and gives direction to human paths,” Mattarella continues.
The Pope’s encyclical quote
“It is the opposite of false realism that leads to inertia, distrust, resignation, when instead the destiny of communities is to become protagonists of their own future. This was recalled by Pope Leo XIV in his ‘Magnifica humanitas.’ A humanity not closed within illusory walls and condemned to selfishness, but open and sensitive to injustices and the dramas of those who suffer, ready to build new bridges,” adds the President of the Republic quoting the Pope’s encyclical.
