In a difficult social context, the bishops of Euskadi and Navarra offer an initiative to enhance hope and enhance coexistence. They encourage societies and leaders to leave behind tension and walk towards a real peace from the perspective of the Bible and the example of Pope Francis.

At a time when social reality requires acting, the bishops of these areas have made an invitation to confront reality with hope, using a new proposal: the “peace and hope groups”. The central idea is to provide a Christian response to current concerns, and to enhance concrete actions that enhance brotherhood and mutual trust.
This announcement was submitted by the diocese of San Sebastian, in a law issued at the Al -Abrish School, where the leaders of the four church in these lands joined their votes in a joint message entitled “Let’s promise” groups of peace and hope. “The Christian response to fear and division.” The entry of the document indicates Easter and Easter greeting to Christ: “Peace be upon you!”, Which hesitates at a time when peace appears to be increasingly dodging.
A message that focuses on active hope
The statement confirms that commitment to peace cannot be considered an option, but as a real Christian commitment in the company with the Bible. In a world, the culture of survival and lack of confidence appears to dominate, they suggest that this mentality be replaced by a full set of hope, which creates “groups” that help societies to develop serenity and unity in their homes, dioceses and groups.
During the press conference, the bishops highlighted some aspects such as the importance of political institutions for peace, and the need for the Church to remain a support space in building a more clear society. Bishop Prado said, “The war climate that breathes in Europe alerts us, but also calls us to be craftsmen of peace in daily life.”
For its part, Mons. Josiba Sigura emphasized that papal teaching on peace issues has a clear continuity, and that “the leadership of Pope Francis on the world stage is a respectable voice and a listener”, which is always invited to dialogue and search for solutions only in the most sensitive moments.

Other working lines
Bishops announced that in the coming months they will design pastoral resources, prayer meetings and solidarity gestures in different societies, in order to enhance this active hope. The intention is that societies are walking alongside this solidarity proposal, leaving the fear behind actions that have a real impact on social coexistence.
Bishop Brado closed, stressing that “this initiative is not just a statement, but a concrete challenge to live in hope and peace day after day, from the root of the Bible.” The Church in Euskadi and Navarra seeks to contribute to sand pills in a world claiming justice, dialogue and reconciliation.
