In his message for the 57th world day of social communications titled, ‘Speaking with the heart: The truth in love’ (Eph. 4:15), Pope Francis has reminded people everywhere to build a civilisation of love amid dissensions, wars, and polarisation of truth. This year, World Communications Sunday fell on 21 May. The Pope’s message was given in Rome, St John Lateran, on 24 January 2023, the Memorial of St Francis de Sales. It underscored the need for ‘speaking with the heart’, noting: ‘It is the heart that spurred us to go, to see and to listen, and it is the heart that moves us towards an open and welcoming way of communicating.’
