The path of adversity has taken us to learn that we are one human family, and that the greatest treasure of all is life itself. This trail leaves behind selfishness, politics and greed. Now we see that only together we can fight to save our fragile planet, the only source of life in the infinite universe. Together, we can pass the torch of life to new generations, so they too can marvel at the divine creation God has bestowed upon us. A world where the song of birds and forest flowers is home where all can live with dignity and peace.

Mankind is resilient and, when called upon, shows great ingenuity in rising above adversity. Let us work together as a world family, above politics and greed. Let us restore the world so that future generations can gaze at green pastures, clean rivers and crystalline lakes, where the singing of birds and the perfume of wild flowers bring joy to their hearts. Let us pass the mantle of life, so all can live with dignity and peace.
