Day of Testimony

... we take the opportunity to send our warmest greetings to our very dear friends who, in different latitudes, in the halls in the parks of study and reflection, neighbourhood halls and meeting places are commemorating once again the anniversary of what took place on May 4th, 1969. From this magnificent place we should consecrate this movable day so that in the future it will be remembered as the “Day of Testimony” that gives priority to this human attitude and that justifies it in itself and places it above all ideologies, all theories and all practical calculations. This point of view, according to which what comes first is the expression of human life with its certainties, its doubts, its attempts, its rebellions, and which raises up those who have their feet on the earth and their head in the heavens.
