In a video message to the first Filipino conference on the New Evangelisation, Francis says, "Do not get tired of bringing the mercy of the Father to the poor, the sick, the abandoned, the young people and families".

Vatican City (AsiaNews) - "Let Jesus be known in the world of politics, business, arts, science, technology and social media [. . .] in the great continent of Asia," which "is close to my heart," Pope Francis said in a video message he sent today to the participants in the first Conference on New Evangelisation in the Philippines, which came to a close today at the University of Santo Tomas, in Manila, attended by delegates from different parts of Asia.

In his video message, the pope expressed his appreciation for the initiative taken during this Year of Faith, saying, "The Holy Spirit is actively at work in you. The Church of Christ is alive!"

"Through this conference," the message went on to say, "I hope you would experience again the loving presence of Jesus in your lives, that you would love the Church more and that you would share the Gospel to all people with humility and joy. Do not get tired of bringing the mercy of the Father to the poor, the sick, the abandoned, the young people and families. Let Jesus be known in the world of politics, business, arts, science, technology and social media. Let the Holy Spirit renew creation and bring forth justice and peace in the Philippines and in the great continent of Asia that is close to my heart.
