Words to Proclaim: Meekness and Hope was the theme of the workshop organized by the Society of St. Paul on February 22, 2025, in Rome.
The event had a twofold purpose: first, to reflect on Pope Francis’ message for the 59th World Communications Day (to be celebrated on June 1), which centers on the theme “Share with meekness the hope that is in your hearts” (cf. 1 Peter 3:15-16); and second, to translate insights and inspirations from this message into digital formats and productions.
“We wanted to engage with the message and the day in a fresh and innovative way,” explained the workshop organizers, “by putting our Pauline charism into action—evangelizing and sharing the beauty and power of the Gospel through the ‘most rapid and effective means,’ as our Founder, Blessed Fr. James Alberione, encouraged us to do.”
They also noted that for the past 20 years, our Institutes have promoted Communication Week, a pastoral and cultural initiative aimed at raising public awareness of World Communications Day. “Our goal,” they added, “is to emphasize the growing impact of media on individual, family, and social life and to inspire a more conscious and responsible approach to communication.”
