On the occasion of the Conferral of the Charlemagne Prize in Rome on 6th 2016, Pope Francis shared his dream for Europe<\/strong><\/h5>\n

(\u2026) \u00a0With mind and heart, with hope and without vain nostalgia, like a son who rediscovers in Mother Europe his roots of life and faith, I dream of a\u00a0new European humanism<\/em>, one that involves \u201ca constant work of humanization\u201d and calls for \u201cmemory, courage, [and] a sound and humane utopian vision\u201d.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> that is young, still capable of being a mother: a mother who has life because she respects life and offers hope for life.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> that cares for children, that offers fraternal help to the poor and those newcomers seeking acceptance because they have lost everything and need shelter.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> that is attentive to and concerned for the infirm and the elderly, lest they be simply set aside as useless.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> where being a migrant is not a crime but a summons to greater commitment on behalf of the dignity of every human being.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> where young people breathe the pure air of honesty, where they love the beauty of a culture and a simple life undefiled by the insatiable needs of consumerism, where getting married and having children is a responsibility and a great joy, not a problem due to the lack of stable employment.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> of families, with truly effective policies concentrated on faces rather than numbers, on birth rates more than rates of consumption.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> that promotes and protects the rights of everyone, without neglecting its duties towards all.<\/p>\n

I dream of a Europe<\/strong> of which it will not be said that its commitment to human rights was its last utopia. Thank you.<\/p>\n
