Generous Hospitality

Light of Truth

“The generous hospitality shown more than two thousand years ago remains in the collective memory of humanity and is a source of abundant blessings that continue to expand. As a result, Egypt is a land that in some sense we all feel to be our own! As you say, “Misrum al-dunya” – “Egypt is the mother of the world.” Today too, this land welcomes millions of refugees from different countries, including Sudan, Eritrea, Syria and Iraq, refugees whom you make praiseworthy efforts to integrate into Egyptian society.”

Text of Pope Francis address to Government Authorities and the Diplomatic Corps. Heliopolis, Egypt, 28 April 2017
