consequently, the defense of the environment and the fight against exclusion demand that we recognize a moral law written into human nature itself, one which includes the natural difference between man and woman, and absolute respect for life in all its stages and dimensions. [applause] without the recognition of certain incontestable natural ethical limits and without the immediate implementation of those pillars of integral human development, the ideal of saving succeeding generations from the scourge of war and of promoting

social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom risks becoming an unattainable illusion, or even worse, just idle chatter which serves as a cover for all kinds of abuse and corruption. or for carrying out an ideological colonization by the imposition of anomalous models and lifestyles which are alien to people's identity and in the end, are irresponsible. [applause]

war is the negation of all rights and it's a dramatic assault on the environment. if we want true integral human development for all, we must work tirelessly to avoid war between nations and between peoples. [applause] to this end, there is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to

negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the charter of the united nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm. the experience of these 70 years since the founding of the united nations in general, and in

particular the experience of these first 15 years of the third millennium, reveal both the effectiveness of the full application of international norms and the ineffectiveness of their lack of enforcement. when the charter of the united nations is respected and applied with transparency and sincerity, and without ulterior motives, as an obligatory reference point of justice and not as a means of masking spurious intentions, peaceful results will be obtained. [applause] when, on the other hand, the norm is considered simply as an instrument to be used whenever it proves favorable, and to be avoided when it is not, a true pandora's box is opened, releasing uncontrollable forces which gravely harm defenseless populations, the cultural milieu and even the biological environment.

the preamble and the first article of the charter of the united nations set forth the foundations of the international juridical framework -- peace, the pacific solution of disputes and the development of friendly relations between the nations. strongly opposed to such statements, and in practice denying them, is the constant tendency to the proliferation of arms, especially weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear weapons. this threat represents a problem

as those nations would be united by fear and trust -- not trust. [applause] there is urgent need to work for a world free of nuclear weapons in full cooperation of the non-alliteration treaty -- nonproliferation treaty. [applause] the recent agreement reached on the nuclear question in that sensitive region of asia and the middle east has proved the potential of political goodwill

and law exercised with all sincerity, patients, and sincerity. i hope that this will be lasting and efficacious and will bring about all parties involved. [applause] in this sense, hard evidence is of thenot lacking negative effect of the military intervention in the international community. whiler this reason regretting to have to do so i must renew my repeated appeals regarding the painful sitti

of the entire middle east, north africa, and other african christians,ere together with other cultural or ethnic groups and even members of the majority religion who have no desire to be caught up in hatred and folly, have been forced to witness the destruction of their places of worship, their cultural and religious heritage, their houses and property, and have faced the alternative either of fleeing or of paying for their adhesion to good and to peace by their own lives or by enslavement. [applause]

these realities should serve as a grave summons to an examination of conscience on the part of those charged with the conduct of international affairs. and not only in cases of religious or cultural persecution, but in every situation of conflict, as in ukraine, syria, iraq, libya, south sudan and the great lakes region, real human beings take precedence over partisan interests, however legitimate the latter may be. in wars and conflicts there are individual persons, our brothers and sisters, men and women, young and old, boys and girls who weep, suffer and die.

human beings who are easily discarded when our only response is to draw up lists of problems, strategies and disagreements. as i wrote in my letter to the secretary-general of the united nations on the 9th of august, 2014, the most basic understanding of human dignity compels the international community, particularly through the norms and mechanisms of international law, to do all that it can to stop and to prevent further systematic violence against ethnic and religious minorities, and to protect innocent peoples.

[applause] along the same lines i would mention another kind of conflict which is not always so open, yet is silently killing millions of people. another kind of war experienced by many of our societies as a result of the narcotics trade. a war which is taken for granted and poorly fought. drug trafficking is by its very nature accompanied by

trafficking in persons, money laundering, the arms trade, child exploitation and other forms of corruption. a corruption which has penetrated to different levels of social, political, military, artistic and religious life, and, in many cases, has given rise to a parallel structure which threatens the credibility of our institutions. [applause] i began this speech recalling the visits of my predecessors. and now i would hope that my

words would be taken above all as a continuation of the final words of the address of pope paul vi. spoken almost exactly 50 years ago, they remain ever timely. and i quote, "the hour has come when a pause, a moment of recollection, reflection, even of prayer, is absolutely needed so that we may think back over our common origin, our history, our common destiny. the appeal to the moral conscience of man has never been as necessary as it is today. for the danger comes neither from progress nor from science. if these are used well, they can

help to solve a great number of the serious problems besetting mankind. among other things, human genius, well applied, will surely help to meet the grave challenges of ecological deterioration and of exclusion. i continue in quoting pope paul vi, "the real danger comes from man, who has at his disposal ever more powerful instruments that are as well fitted to bring about ruin as they are to achieve lofty conquests." that is what pope paul vi said. the common home of all men must continue to rise on the foundations of a right understanding of universal

fraternity and respect for the sacredness of every human life, of every man and every woman, the poor, the elderly, children, the infirm, the unborn, the unemployed, the abandoned, and those considered disposable because they are only considered as part of one or other statistic. [applause] this common home of all men and women must also be built on the understanding of a certain sacredness of created nature. such understanding and respect call for a higher degree of

wisdom, one which accepts transcendence, and at the same time rejects the creation of an all-powerful elite, and recognizes that the full meaning of individual and collective life is found in the selfless service to others and in the sage and respectful use of creation for the common good. to repeat the words of pope paul vi, the edifice of modern civilization has to be built on spiritual principles, for they are the only ones capable not only of supporting it, but also of shedding light on it. el gaucho martin fierro, a classic of literature in my native land, says, "brothers

should stand by each other, because this is the first law. keep a true bond between you always, at every time -- because if you fight among yourselves, you'll be devoured by those outside." [applause] the contemporary world, so apparently connected, is experiencing a growing and steady social fragmentation, which places at risk the foundations of social life, and consequently leads to battles between ourselves to defend our conflicting interests. the present time invites us to

give priority to actions which generate new processes in society, so as to bear fruit in significant and positive historical events. we cannot permit ourselves to postpone certain agendas for the future. the future demands of us critical and global decisions in the face of world-wide conflicts which increase the number of the excluded and those in need. the praiseworthy international juridical framework of the united nations organization and of all its activities, like any other human endeavor, can be improved, yet it remains necessary. at the same time it can be the

pledge of a secure and happy future for future generations. and so it will, if the representatives of the states can set aside partisan and ideological interests, and sincerely strive to serve the common good. i pray to almighty god that this will be the case, and i assure you of my support and my prayers, and the support and prayers of all the faithful of the catholic church, that this institution, all its member states, and each of its officials, will always render an effective service to mankind, a service respectful of diversity and capable of bringing out, for sake of the common good, the best in each people and in every individual. upon all of you, may god bless you all. [applause]

>> on behalf of the general assembly, i wish to express, as already has been done, with the hands, our deep appreciation to his holiness, pope francis, for this very important statement, a statement for the reflection and inspiration for all of us. i request representatives to be kind enough to remain in their seats while we accompany his holiness out of the general assembly hall. the summit for the adoption of

[applause]

now, i can tell you, papa francesco, we in new york are sinners. we are sinners. we have many flaws. we make many mistakes. but one of the things we do very well is sincere and fruitful interreligious friendship. our ancestors came here for religious freedom and they found in new york city an atmosphere of respect and appreciation for religious diversity. about which you just spoke at the united nations. we, who have the honor of pastoring our people, we work together, we pray together, we

meet together, we talk to one another and we try to serve as one the city we are proud to call our earthly home while awaiting our true and eternal residence in heaven. so very often do we recall the face of god is in the midst of the city. and your prayer and your presence and your words this morning inspire us, so thank you for being here. [applause] >> you may be seated.

>> in this place, where horrendous violence was committed falsely in the name of god, we, representatives of the world religions, in this great city of new york, gather to offer words of comfort and prayer, with love and affection we recall the victims of the 9/11 attacks. we pray that their souls and the souls of all those first responders are forever remembered for eternal blessing. today and every day may we understand our shared mission to be, in the words of pope francis, a field hospital after battle. to heal the wounds and warm the hearts of a humanity in so

desperate need of comfort. >> intolerance and ignorance fueled those who attacked this place. the courage of today's gathering distinguishes us from the opponents of religious freedom as we stand together as brothers and sisters to condemn their horrific acts of violence and honor each life that was lost unconditionally. as we read in the koran that one life lost is like all man kind and one life saved is like all man kind. to god, all life is sacred and precious. where others fail, let us be the peaceful reminders of that notion to his creation. >> the book of psalms teaches us that we should love peace and we should pursue peace. let us honor those killed in this place by becoming, in the words of saint francis, instruments of peace. where there is hatred, let us so love. where there is injury, pardon.

where there is doubt, faith. where there is despair, hope. where there is darkness, light. and where there is sadness, joy. >> men and women from all walks of life ran to this place in hopes of saving lives. the sole intent of those first responders was the protection of others, regardless of the cost to them as individuals. as the worst of humanity sought to take life, they exemplified the best of humanity through their selflessness, willing to give their entire life in hopes of saving another, their story is one that each of us should carry forward with us both in thought and in action as we move forward from this place. the koran declares that allah is with those who are righteous and those who do good. let us embody their unconditional love, their

continued strength, their unwavering hope and their pursuit of good as we seek to build much-needed peace. >> so let us learn to share this big apple we all call home through friendship and dialogues, may the timber and tonality of each of our faith traditions be heard in this great symphony of our city and nation. on this, the historic anniversary of it, let us celebrate, affirm and build on our shared commitment to interreligious dialogue. in the words of pope francis, may we respect and love one another as brothers and sisters, may we learn to understand the sufferings of others, may we live to see the day as envisioned by the prophet, mica.

everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree and no one shall make them afraid for the lord almighty has spoken. >> the koran states, o mankind, we have created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes so that you might know one another. we have gathered here today as men and women who seek to meet ignorance with understanding. through our knowing of each other today, let us move beyond the mere toleration of our differences and work towards a much-needed celebration of them. let us be bold enough to build partnerships with new friends and allies and together be the reason that people have hope in this world. and not the reason that people dread it. >> please rise.

pope francis: lord of love, compassion and healing. look on us, people of different faith and religions, traditions. today in these hallowed grounds, the scene of unspeakable violence and pain. we ask you in your goodness to give eternal light and peace who all who died here.

our firefighters, our police officers, emergency service workers and security personnel, along with all the innocent men and women who were victims of this tragedy simply because they walk or service to them here on september 11. we ask you in your compassion to bring healing to those who, because of their presence here 14 years ago continue to suffer from injuries and illness.

pope francis: dear friends, excuse myself for not speaking english. i have many different feelings moved by being here at ground zero where thousands of lives were taken in a senseless act of violence and destruction. you can feel the pain here. it's palpable.

the water we see running toward the center reminds us of all this life who left under the power of those who believed that destruction is the only way to solve conflicts. that silent cry of those who suffered in their own illogical violence of hate and revenge. the lodge take could only cause pain and suffering, destruction and tears. water falling also symbolizes our tears.

tears shed for destruction of yesterday, who are joined by so much destruction today. this is a place where we cry, we cry the pain, being powerlessness that makes us feel when we see justice set aside, the inability to solve our differences. through dialogue. in this place we cry the unjust, death of the innocent because we were not able to find solutions for the common good.

it is water that reminded us yesterday's tears and today's tears. a few minutes ago amid some families of the first responders that fell, while performing their service, and in this meeting i was able to see how destruction is never impersonal, it's never abstract. it's not about things. above all destruction has faith and a history, it is specific, it has names. the family members show the face of pain, pain that leaves us

speechless but that screams to heaven. but at the same time they were able to show me the other face of this attack. the other side of their pain. the power of love and a remembrance. the memory that does not leave us empty, on behalf of so many lost ones, these names are written here in the faces of these towers, so we can see them and we can touch them. and we can never forget them. among this pain, we can also feel the capacity of heroic

goodness that the human being is also capable of, the hidden force that we must always appeal to. at times the greatest pain and suffering, you were witness to the greatest acts of giving of themselves, of yourselves, and held a stretched out hand, life even, that may seem impersonal, loneliness, people were able to show the powerful solidarity of mutual help, of love. and self-sacrifice. at that time, it was not about blood or origin or neighborhood

or religion or political views. it was a matter of solidarity, a merging of brotherhood, temperatures a matter of humanity. new york firemen and women came in to the towers that were crumbling without much thinking about their own lives. many fell in their duty and with their sacrifice they allowed for so many others to survive. this place of death also is a place for life, saved lives. a song that leads us to affirm

that life will always triumph over the prophets of destruction, over death, and good will always win over bad, reconciliation and unity will prevail over hate and division. in this place of pain and remembrance, i am full of hope. because of the opportunity of the leaders representing so many religious traditions amidst of life of this great city. i hope our presence here sends a

powerful sign over which to share and reaffirm the wish to be there, forces of reconciliation, forces of peace and justice in this community and throughout the whole world. differences and discrepancies, it is possible to live in a world of peace. in the face of any attempt to make us all similar, it is possible and it is necessary to meet together with our different tongues, different cultures, religions, embrace our belief against anyone who would like to prevent that, because together today we have been invited to

say no to any attempt to make us all the same and to say yes to our differences, accepting reconciliation. for this we need to throw away the feelings of hate and revenge and rancor. we know this is only possible through a gift of heaven here in this place of remembrance. each one of us in their way, but together. i propose a moment of silence and prayer. let us ask, let the lord be the gift of peace.

peace in our homes. in our families. in our schools. in our communities. peace in all the places in which war seems to be endless. peace in the faces of the people who have only seen pain. peace in this wide world that god has given us as our home, as a home for us all and for all. only peace. let us pray in silence.

in this way, the life of love will not be alive or forgotten, but it will be present each time we try to be the prophets of construction and reconciliation, the prophets of peace.
