“His conversion,” he explained, “is born from an existential change, where primacy no longer belongs to his perfection in the face of the Law, but rather to docility toward God, in total openness to what He wants.”
For the Holy Father, “all efforts towards full unity are called to follow the same itinerary of Saint Paul, to put aside the centrality of our ideas to seek the voice of the Lord and leave initiative and space to Him.”
Along these lines, he urged us to recognize that “we need to convert, to let the Lord change our hearts. This is the way: walk together and serve together, putting prayer as a priority.”
He then thanked the presence of Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, Metropolitan Polycarp, representing the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and all the faithful present from different Christian communities.
