00:04Good morning everyone.
00:07Hope you are all rested and ready for this next leg of our trip.
00:13Happy to greet you all this morning after what I personally consider
00:18a very blessed trip and visit to Algeria.
00:24And I want to begin by expressing a word of gratitude
00:27to all the authorities in Algeria who made this visit possible.
00:39So it was a special blessing for me personally to return once again
00:44to Annaba yesterday, but also to offer to the Church and the world
00:48a vision that St. Augustine offers us in terms of that search for God
00:53and the struggle to build community, to seek for unity among all peoples
00:59and respect for all peoples in spite of the differences.
01:02So in two days in Algeria, I think we've really had a wonderful opportunity
01:06to, if you will, continue to build bridges to promote dialogue.
01:11I think the visit to the mosque was significant to say that
01:17although we have different beliefs, we have different ways of worshiping,
01:21we have different ways of living, we can live together in peace.
01:25And so I think that to promote that kind of image
01:29is something which the world needs to hear today
01:32and that together we can continue to offer in our witness
01:37as we continue on this apostolic voyage.
01:39Have a wonderful trip.
01:41Good to see you all.
01:42Thank you for your service once again. Thank you.
