"... you are to consider the problem of
peace, because the world today is facing
a great dilemma: the catastrophical
weapons which are the result of human
ingenuity, menace the world to the point
of annihilation, and the human race is
more than ever in need of the prayers
and support of The Church.

In this fact we have another ground for co-operation with all the
Churches of the world. As the followers of Christ let us not
forget how often our cause has suffered through disunity.
We would like to refer in conclusion to the question of social
welfare in the modern world. For a country can achieve much
more in this field if supported by the church. The will of God
will be realized and humanity can achieve progress in both the
spiritual and material fields in a healthy society.
We consider it a great blessing to Us and to Our people that
Your Holinesses have come to bless our land with your sacred
presence. Our people and Our Church rejoice to welcome Your
Holinesses in our midst.
Holy Fathers, as the spiritual descendants of the Apostles of
Christ you have an eminent responsibility, which responsibility
would include the improvement of the relations of laity with
clergy and of church with society.
We hope and trust that God will guide the discussions here
according to His will and that His power will assist Your
Holinesses in finding common solutions to common problems in
the spirit of amity and concord. May God who helped the 318
Fathers of the council of Nicea enlighten and help us all.
