PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE
MESSAGE ON THE OCCASION OF
THE FEAST OF DEEPAVALI

15. May this festival of lights illumine your hearts and homes and bring to your
families and communities joy and happiness, peace and prosperity

16. May it strengthen your spirit of fraternity with one another.

17. Efforts are being made towards interreligious and intercultural
dialogue, cooperation and fraternal solidarity.

18. Every individual, particularly Christians and Hindus, needs
to be a builder of fraternity and peaceful coexistence

19. Religion fundamentally inspires us “to see in the
other a brother or sister to be supported and loved”

20. Religion teaches us to respect the inviolable dignity
and the inalienable rights of others without any
unwarranted bias towards their creed or culture

21. Religions are to sustain the efforts their adherents make in leading an authentic life so as to “bring forth
the fruits of peace and brotherhood, for it is in the nature of religion to foster ... an increasingly fraternal
relationship among people” (Pope John Paul II, Message for the World Day of Peace, 1992).

22. living in a spirit of fraternity and fellowship through
constant dialogue should be a natural corollary
of being a religious person, Hindu or Christian.

23. There is a hidden sea of goodness that is growing and leads us to hope in
the possibility of building, together with the followers of other religions
and all men and women of good will, a world of solidarity and peace.

24. The conviction that building a world of fraternity is possible is reason enough
for us to engage all the more in efforts towards building the edifice of
fraternity and peaceful coexistence, keeping “the good of everyone at heart”

25. Mahatma Gandhi, “an outstanding and courageous witness to truth, love and nonviolence”
(Pope John Paul II, Prayer for Peace at the Conclusion of the Visit to Raj Ghat, Delhi, 1
February 1986) and a valiant protagonist of human fraternity and peaceful coexistence.
We would do well to draw inspiration from his example in living peaceful coexistence.

26. As believers grounded in our own religious convictions and with shared concern for
the welfare of the human family, may we join hands with those of different religious
traditions and all people of good will, and strive to do all we can — with a sense of
shared responsibility — to build a more fraternal and peaceful society!
