VIDEO MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS FOR THE INAUGURATION OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF THE SACRED HEART, IN MILAN, ON THE CENTENARY OF ITS FOUNDATION

[…] With this in mind, I promoted a Global Educational Compact, to raise
awareness of the great questions on the meaning of our time, starting from
those of the new generations faced with social injustices, the violations of rights,
and forced migrations. The university cannot remain deaf to these complaints. I
am pleased that you have accepted this invitation to a renewed season of
educational commitment. Your international cooperation projects, aimed at the
various peoples of the planet, the many financial aid grants you provide every
year to students in need, your attention to the least of the poor and to the sick,
are evidence of a concrete commitment. I encourage you to continue along this
path! […]
