00:06we go back once again to Peru life at this time the Pope is giving the speech
00:12we listen to statements for I can feel the embrace of your diverse community
00:22the richness of your traits and backgrounds makes this a cheerful
00:28gathering alive with vivid colors I also thank you for your words and songs and
00:36for sharing today the sorrows and hopes you carry in your hearts following in
00:45the footsteps of Pope Francis during his memorable visit to Puerto Madonado I come
00:53as a Shepherd to listen to your stories and to walk alongside you I wish to
01:00strengthen you in faith and hope supporting you in your search for the
01:05justice and peace this land so greatly needs the inequalities that wound humanity
01:15and disfigure creation have a serious impact on your communities the years I
01:24spent as a missionary and as a bishop in this beloved land of Peru taught me what
01:30it means for the church to walk alongside humanity in order to serve the Lord
01:42faithfully this is essential if we are to become like Jesus Christ and follow him
01:51here and now as we await his return as I look upon this beautiful gathering the
02:00words of the Apostolic Exhortation Querida Amazonia come to mind with renewed urgency I dream of an
02:11Amazon region that fights for the rights of the poor the original peoples and the
02:18least of our brothers and sisters where their voices can be heard and their
02:23dignity advanced sadly the voice that rises today from these places speaks to us of
02:33wounds that remain unhealed and have in some cases grown worse the cry of the
02:40earth and the cry of the poor are inseparable exposing patterns of exploitation
02:49and economic activity that threaten the balance of creation protecting the Amazon
02:59rainforest cannot be separated from concern for the people who live there indeed
03:06integral ecology social justice and the spiritual life go hand in hand the first
03:14testimony today reminds us that defending one's home can come at the cost of one's
03:22life in recent years many indigenous leaders have been murdered for defending
03:30their territories the blood of these brothers cries out to God and demands
03:41justice justice the second testimony highlighted another grave problem it is unacceptable that in many
03:53communities the right to health care and education is denied due to geographical isolation or
04:02institutional neglect we are deeply concerned for the
04:09vulnerability of so many women girls and adolescents and by the suffering of those
04:20who experience violence and sexual abuse such abuse such abuse leaves deep wounds
04:30often compounded by complicity and impunity corruption and arbitrary practices undermine the trust and the
04:44basic goodness of others in the situation the gospel calls us all the more urgently to personal and
04:53and communal conversion offering renewed hope for healing consolation and reparation
05:01dear friends
05:03dear friends
05:05Pucalpa is a young city full of energy and hope
05:11yet in urgent need of moral and educational renewal
05:15we must work tirelessly to ensure quality education that includes your languages and that values your ancestral
05:26knowledge while also preparing the younger generations to face the major challenges of our time faced with the
05:36the tendency to regard this vast region as a source of resources to be exploited
05:44we are called to develop a different model
05:50one inspired by Jesus Christ and his gospel
05:57Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato si
06:00we must be warned of the harmful consequences of the dominant technocratic paradigm
06:06which tends to exploit nature and cultures for the sake of immediate economic gain for the benefit of a few
06:18we must oppose this model with perseverance and broad vision
06:24looking instead to integral ecology as an expression of the civilization of love
06:31an alternative vision
06:33rooted in the gospel
06:35and respectful of the wisdom of peoples
06:38who recognize in different languages
06:42that everything in the world is deeply interconnected
06:48you know well the damage caused by indiscriminate
06:51the deforestation and the pollution of rivers and other waters through illegal mining and oil spills
07:01these are not isolated accidents
07:04but the consequences of the irresponsible exploitation of natural resources
07:12which undermines the very existence of communities
07:16and adding to this is the scourge of drug trafficking
07:20which preys on the poverty of young people
07:24luring them with false promises of profit
07:27and uprooting them from their own culture
07:31the social doctrine of the church
07:34is constantly developing
07:36and helps us read the signs of the times
07:40under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
07:42within it
07:44within it
07:45your ancestral knowledge can encounter
07:49the rich heritage of the church's wisdom
07:52in order to ensure that your rights
07:55acquired over generations
07:57may be protected
07:59the church
08:01admires the resilience and capacity
08:04for new beginnings of the Amazonian peoples
08:10you are witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ
08:13who rather than coming down from the cross
08:16gives his life for his people
08:19Christ never abandons us
08:21Christ is with you
08:24the church is with you
08:26and you are her members
08:29we are the body of Christ
08:31we are the body of Christ
08:37the efforts of the
08:41Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon
08:43and the Pan-Amazonian Ecclesial Network
08:47seek increasingly to shape a church with Amazonian traits
08:52it's true that the laborers seem few
08:56your vicariate
08:57as large as the entire countries
09:00as entire countries has only 25 priests
09:03I express my heartfelt gratitude
09:06to the men and women religious
09:09and the pastoral leaders
09:11of the communities
09:12men and women laity
09:14who with heroic fidelity
09:17safeguard the faith in the most remote places
09:20we must support
09:22and recognize their ministerial service
