Pope Francis Speaks to Japanese Students



"Dialogue is what brings peace," the pope told the group, which included Christians and Buddhists. "Peace is impossible without dialogue."

In this beautiful encounter with Japanese students, Pope Francis gives a universal message reminding us that dialogue is the most important step toward understanding. In light of current events in Syria and throughout the Middle East, a call to dialogue must be reinforced. Peace cannot be attained through force as some may continually believe in the perpetual cycle of military take over. True peace comes from discovering the humanity that dwells inside all of us. Once we decide to do that for ourselves and others, reconciliation can flow in to heal our broken hearts.
