Message for the Feast of Deepavali: Promoting harmony amidst diversity and despite differences

Christian News,World Christian News,Malaysia Church,Religion Christianity

The Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue sends you its most joyful and prayerful greetings as you celebrate Deepavali, the festival of lights, on October 31 this year. May God, the source of light, fill your minds and hearts with peace and joy, and your families and communities with grace and happiness!

Throughout history human beings have always experienced difficulties living in harmony. Indeed, this has been the case whenever there is diversity and differences among peoples, resulting sometimes in displays of both hostile and subtle resistance. Nevertheless, as Pope Francis said, “In the dynamics of history, and in the diversity of ethnic groups, societies and cultures, we see the seeds of a vocation to form a community composed of brothers and sisters who accept and care for one another” .

Unfortunately, the divine vision of fostering harmony through God’s own power, in and through diversity is supplanted by ideologies that favour exclusion, discrimination and conformity on both the individual and collective level.
