La pace può mettere "radici profonde" solo se si combattono corruzione, tensioni etniche, indifferenza ed egoismo. Lo ha detto il Papa ai vescovi del Sudan, ricevuti in udienza nella mattina di sabato 13 marzo, in occasione della visita ad limina Apostolorum.

Your Eminence,
Dear Brother Bishops,
With great joy I welcome you, the Bishops of Sudan, on your quinquennial visit to the tombs of the Apostles Peter and Paul. I am grateful to Bishop Deng Majak for the kind words which he has addressed to me on your behalf. In the spirit of communion in the Lord which unites us as successors of the Apostles, I join you in giving thanks for the "higher gift" (cf. 1 Cor 12: 31) of Christian charity which is evident in your lives and in the generous service of the priests, men and women religious and the lay faithful of Sudan. Your fidelity to the Lord and the fruits of your labours amid difficulties and sufferings bear eloquent witness to the power of the Cross which shines through our human limitations and weakness (cf. 1 Cor 1: 23-24).
