MESSAGE OF Pope Francis

FOR THE 49th

WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY Communicating the Family:

A Privileged Place of Encounter with the Gift of Love

http://bit.ly/WCDMessage49

The media can help communication when they enable people to share their stories, to stay in contact with distant friends, to thank others or to seek their forgiveness, and to open the door to new encounters. By growing daily in our awareness of the vital importance of encountering others, these “new possibilities”, we will employ technology wisely, rather than letting ourselves be dominated by it.
