Europe Day 2020 and Pope Francis\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We have been journeying together for the last six weeks. During this shared prayerful journey we allowed the Word of God and our reflection regarding Europe (2016) to inspire us, and we included all European Countries in our prayers. Our main objective was to strengthen our yearning to be all one and to mould Europe with the power of prayer.<\/p>\n

May 9, Europe Day<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our journey will take us toward May 9, 2020, Europe Day. This Day ought to be a day of encounters between Communities, Movements and Countries.<\/strong> This year, however, due to Covid-19, we cannot gather physically in churches and squares, or hold social events, conferences and prayers.<\/p>\n

This does not mean that the Day\u2019s activities have been cancelled;\u00a0on the contrary: a lot of creativity is being expressed in digital conferences and prayers, discussion groups and on-line dialogue between Communities, Movements and politicians<\/strong> that will be start, for example, from Utrecht, Graz, Rome, Lyon and Esslingen. Here all linguistic and National barriers will be overcome<\/strong> and thus we can reflect together about Europe and to keep the Continent in our prayers.<\/p>\n

Letter from Pope Francis<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All our events linked to May 9 have a papal blessing. Indeed, Pope Francis, on 22 April, sent a letter to the Secretariat of Together for Europe <\/em>in Rome<\/strong> in which, after thanking us for our letter of April 12, he encouraged in the service to the common good, inspired by values of solidarity, peace and justice. He pray for us and he warmly sents his apostolic blessing to all of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n
