Pope Francis began his first full day in Papua New Guinea by meeting with the nation’s authorities, representatives of civil society, and the diplomatic corps. On the morning of Saturday, 7 September, they welcomed the Pope at the APEC House in the capital Port Moresby.
He paid tribute to the nation’s people, inhabiting an archipelago with hundreds of islands and where more than eight hundred languages are spoken, each representing unique ethnic groups, calling it “an extraordinary cultural richness.”The Pope remarked that the country is also rich in natural resources, which are “goods are destined by God for the entire community,” even if outside help is needed in harnessing them.
He appealed for everyone to “resolutely embark on the path that leads to fruitful cooperation for the benefit of all the people of the country.” Dialogue can help find the way forward so that health, education and opportunities for dignified work can all be improved, he added.
Faith, he said, “can become a lived culture, inspiring minds and actions and becoming a beacon of light that illuminates the path forward.”
