Isabella H. De Carvalho – the Vatican city

“I am very honored to receive Road to peace prizeAnd “I accept it in the name of the Holy See, and above all, in the name of the Foreign Minister, who works tirelessly for the sake of the Roman Pope to enhance peace and justice in our world. “
With these words, yesterday, May 19 in New York, the Cardinal and Foreign Minister Pieetro Parolin won the prize for the Foundation A road to peaceAnd then the bishops’ president, Renato Rafael Martino, was established when he was a permanent observer of the Apostolic Chair before the United Nations.

Paroline said: “The honor granted tonight goes beyond the personality and embodies the spirit of cooperation in the base of our holy mission in a world screaming from healing and reconciliation.” In this sense, he remembered that at the heart of the mission of the Holy See is the way that Pedro’s different successors drew in favor of a world without conflicts.
In 2025 this year, when the sixty of the visit of San Pablo VI to the United Nations, the thirtieth anniversary of the second visit of Juan Paul II, and the tenth anniversary of Pope Francis’s speech before the General Assembly, stressed everything.

Previous potato words

Cardinal raised the words of many of the Pope, starting with Pope Montini, who confirmed the “prophetic clarity” in 1965 that permanent peace should be “rooted in spiritual and moral renewal.” He said that these words “maintain their urgency today”, recalling that “technological progress without moral development leaves humanity dangerously,” Parolin said.

After that, he referred to the invitation of John Paul II in 1979, so that humanity faced his ability to perform an indescribable enormous cruelty, and highlights the essential and non -transparent dignity for everyone. John Paul II was based on his own experience in totalitarianism and war, as he told the Holocaust and the Second World War “not only as historical events, but as moral challenges still require our response.”

He also mentioned the words of Benedict XVI, who in 2008 emphasized “global and non -change facts” that human rights are based, and that protecting human dignity should be considered a “collective responsibility” of the entire international community. Likewise, Pope Bergolio’s insistence in 2015 recalled “the interconnection between environmental protection and social justice” and his overwhelming criticism of the “culture of disposal”.

He added, “This tradition,” continues “with Liu XIV, who appealed to his first words in the name of” Pope “,” peace of disarmament and his weapon as a “positive force” in a world “torn apart by conflicts and divisions.” Cardinal also emphasized the meaning of choosing the new Pope’s name, which wanted to highlight the importance of the social education of the church in the context of the current technological progress that affects human dignity and justice.

Cooperation between the Apostolic Chair and the United Nations

In this context, Cardinal repeated that the award was awarded to him “a recognition of a relationship of support – sometimes critical – for the Apostolic Chair with the United Nations, and also in honor of all people who help the Pope in his mission.”

He repeated that “the path to peace with patience and perseverance must travel with courage and creativity,” and that “potatoes showed us the way.” In addition, he added that the United Nations should continue “renewal, not only in an institutional aspect, but also moral and spiritual.”

The Foreign Minister concluded that the effect of this commitment will not be seen “in treaties or decisions”, but in “the transformation of the human heart towards more justice and mercy and respect for the dignity of every person.” Finally, the Foreign Minister thanked The Road to Peace Foundation To support the task of the permanent observer before the United Nations and the mission of peace from the Holy See.
