The theme of the 54th Social Communications Day has been chosen: memory and history

Vatican City (AsiaNews) - "Memory" as a "particularly valuable" heritage, but also as a "dynamic reality" that hands down "hopes, dreams and experiences from one generation to another".  Within this field, Pope Francis wanted the theme of the 54th World Communications Day, to be celebrated in 2020, to be "" Why you can tell and remember "(Ex 10,2).  Life becomes history ".

We read in the Press Statement  "Communications is, therefore, called to connect memory with life through stories. Jesus resorted to parables to communicate the vital power of the Kingdom of God, leaving his audience free to welcome these narratives and to apply them to themselves".

For this reason - the Pope's and the communiqué's suggestion - the story of the "lives of the saints" and "the great riches offered by the witness of the martyrs" are to be valued.

In any case, it is necessary "to make of communications an instrument with which to build bridges, to unite and to share the beauty of being brothers and sisters in a moment of history marked by discord and division.".
