Pope Francis has repeatedly shown the world his desire to open doors to all of humanity, regardless an individual’s gender, social conditions, or faith tradition. His Holiness exemplifies “God is Love.” From this short video, it is clear that we all have a role to play in embracing peace and justice in a full and holistic way. “I believe in love” should be the unspoken mission statement of every faith tradition. His words here teach us that Francis not only believes in God, but in man and his capacity for love.
