Acta Ioannis Pauli Pp. II 703 I welcome the référence which you have made to recent events in Poland and your deep interest in the well-being of the Polish people. You also mention the vital need for an end to violence in Northern Ireland and the importance of safeguarding human rights in all the countries of the world. It is a sad fact of our time that basic personal rights are not every where respected and ensured. Social and cultural discrimination still exist in far too many forms, and many people lack true freedom of conscience and the right to practise their religion, even in their own homelands. We cannot remain silent in the face of such injustices. As long as basic human rights are denied in any land there can be no enduring international peace. For a fundamental human bond links the destiny of the peoples of every nation. Thus no country can fully en joy its own freedom, knowing that in other countries the dignity of the human person is being violated. I wish to assure you, Mr Ambassador, that you can count on the continued interest and assistance of the Holy See in the fulfilment of your mission, and I invoke God's blessings upon Her Majesty, her Government and all her people. IV Ad quosdam Galliae sacros praesules occasione oblata « ad Limina » visi­ tationis coram admissos.* Chers Frères dans Vépiscopat, 1. Après vous avoir écoutés l'un après l'autre dans un dialogue per­ sonnel, je suis heureux de vous accueillir ensemble, en pensant aux lourdes responsabilités pastorales que vous portez chacun dans votre diocèse, ou au niveau de la région, ou au niveau national, dans les commissions et comités, ou même, pour Monseigneur Jean Vilnet, à la Présidence de la Conférence episcopale. Sachant votre courage qui n'épargne aucun effort, je vous souhaite un ministère à la fois fécond et serein, grâce à l'espérance qui nous vient du mystère pascal. Je prie le Seigneur à toutes vos intentions, et à l'intention des prêtres, reli­ gieux et fidèles d'Alsace, de Lorraine et de Franche-Comté. Ce sont là des provinces françaises qui ont, de par leur histoire chargée de vicissitudes, une physionomie particulière, très attachante. * Die 1 m. Aprilis a. 1982.
