On the occasion of the Jubilee of Communication, the Holy Father exhorts: «Tell stories of hope, stories that nurture life. May your storytelling also be hopetelling. When you report on evil, leave space for the possibility of mending what has been torn, for the dynamism of good that can repair what is broken. Ask questions. Telling of hope means seeing the crumbs of good hidden even in what appears to be lost; it means allowing hope against all hope.
It means being aware of the shoots that emerge when the earth is still covered with ashes. Recounting hope means having an outlook that transforms things, that makes them become what they could, what they should be. It means making things walk towards their destiny.
This is the power of stories. And this is what I encourage you to do: tell of hope, share it. This is, as Saint Paul would say, your “good fight”».
Let us also take up this invitation of the Holy Father to tell stories of our daily life, our small signs of hope along the mission roads that we travel every day in Cameroon, Guinea Bissau, Algeria, Tunisia, Chad, Brazil, India, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Italy, London.
