Word of the Southeast Team of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas on the Pilgrimage for Peace
The Southeast Team of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de las Casas denounces the rising violence in their communities and “The lack of sincerity and honesty in recognizing, on the part of the government and authorities, the reality of violence and insecurity that we are experiencing, as if denying the problem were the best way to solve it.”
“We pray to the divine Spirit to convert hearts of stone into hearts of flesh, so that, among all of us, we may build a kingdom of peace, justice, love and fraternity.”
