Instructions
When Pope Leo XIV was elected in May 2025, he immediately called for the need to build bridges between people. Each of us has a role in spreading peace and love, beginning with small actions in our daily lives. Together, in our own ways, we can truly make a difference.
- Think of how the world would be a better place if we all understood, supported and accepted each other.
- Take a paper brick and write how you can help bring people closer.
- Place your brick on the display as a symbolic gesture of your commitment towards peace, and if you want, pray to God for peace.
Meta l-Papa Ljun XIV ġie elett f’ Mejju 2025, mill-ewwel sejjaħ għall-bżonn li jinbnew pontijiet bejn in-nies. Ilkoll għandna nieħdu sehem fit-tixrid tal-paċi, ibda minn azzjonijiet żgħar fil-ħajja tagħna ta’ kuljum. Flimkien, bil-modi uniċi tagħna stess, nistgħu verament nagħmlu differenza.
- Aħseb ftit kif id-dinja tkun post aħjar jekk ilkoll nifhmu, ngħinu u naċċettaw lil xulxin.
- Ħu kantun tal-karti u ikteb kif tista’ tgħin biex tqarreb lin-nies lejn xulxin.
- Qiegħed il-kantun tiegħek fuq il-wirja bħala ġest simboliku tal-impenn tiegħek lejn il-paċi u jekk trid, itlob lil Alla għall-paċi.
