Addressing the Convention's theme of “In The One, We Are One,” the Holy Father reflected on the importance of promoting the virtues of unity and charity, encouraging all Knights “to continue bearing witness to that concord which Jesus so ardently desires in your families, your parishes and in the wider communities where you live and serve.”
Noting that “works of charity...can often be a way to promote unity,” the Holy Father also expressed his “deep gratitude for your Order's continued generosity to the less fortunate” and his “trust that your endeavors will continue to bear fruit for many years to come.”
