Santa Cruz (Fides Service) - Bolivia celebrated 186 years of national independence and on this occasion, Cardinal Julio Terrazas, Archbishop of Santa Cruz, celebrated the Te Deum. The Cardinal invited the community to live forgiveness and to build social peace.
"We must seek peace without mean interests, a peace without conditions, but as a guarantee of respect for the dignity of the person", said the Cardinal, according to a report in a note sent to Fides by the Archdiocese of Santa Cruz. The religious ceremony was attended by the governor of Santa Cruz and the mayor of the city.
"The simplicity of the message of God is the wisdom that should be sown in our hearts, so it can be shared with the family and society. This wisdom comes from God and is expressed in the goodness and reconciliation among brothers, " concluded the Cardinal.
