In his homily during Mass at Casa Santa Marta, the pope underlined the importance of tolerance between each other in order to establish a bond of peace. He said that we should open our hearts and be more tolerant with the things that bother us

POPE FRANCIS

'First: humility, second: gentleness through mutual support, and third: magnanimity: a big heart, a wide-open heart that can accommodate everybody and that does not condemn, that does not become smaller because of trifling things: â??who said that,â?? â??I heard that,â?? â??whoâ?¦â?? no, a large heart, there is room for everybody. And this creates the bond of peace; this is the worthy manner in which to behave to create the bond of peace which is the creator of unity. The Holy Spirit is the creator of unity but this encourages and prepares the creation of unity.â?

The pope also highlighted the importance of being humble, sweet, and magnanimous to achieve a bond of peace with ourselves and with other people. 

EXCERPTS FROM THE POPE'S HOMILY

(Source: Vatican Radio)

'The evil spirit always sows wars. Jealousy, envy, conflicts, gossipâ?¦ Those are things that destroy peace and therefore there cannot be unity. And how should a Christian behave to promote unity, to find this unity? Paul tells us clearly: â??live in a manner worthy, with all humility, gentleness and magnanimity.â??  These three attitudes: humility - we cannot sow peace without humility.  Where there is arrogance, there is always war and the desire to defeat the other and believing one is superior. Without humility there is no peace and without peace there is no unity.â?


'First: humility, second: gentleness through mutual support, and third: magnanimity: a big heart, a wide-open heart that can accommodate everybody and that does not condemn, that does not become smaller because of trifling things: â??who said that,â?? â??I heard that,â?? â??whoâ?¦â?? no, a large heart, there is room for everybody. And this creates the bond of peace; this is the worthy manner in which to behave to create the bond of peace which is the creator of unity. The Holy Spirit is the creator of unity but this encourages and prepares the creation of unity.â?


'The mystery of the Church is the mystery of the Body of Christ: â??one faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over allâ?? and who works â??through all and in all:â?? this is the unity that Jesus asked the Father to grant us and we must help create this unity with the bond of peace.  And the bond of peace grows with humility, with gentleness and mutual support and with magnanimity.â?
