A great climate of peace and inner joy reigned throughout our deepest meeting.

Monsignor Barbarin, special speaker, in his lecture in the morning we said the word "Mercy" from the Greek and Hebrew translations, the word "Mercy" which is common to Christians, Jews and Muslims.

Using concrete examples, experiences, he showed us how Mercy could be a source of dialogue and meetings with Jews and Muslims.
