Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Yesterday, Monsignor Jean Micha\u00ebl Durh\u00f4ne, 12th Bishop of Port-Louis presented his first Pastoral Letter focusing on youth, political and civic awareness, entitled: \u201cZenes Dibout pou to pei!\u201d.<\/p>\n

For his Pastoral Letter, Bishop Durh\u00f4ne reminds us that in the name of building Mauritian society, it is important to cultivate this awareness on an ongoing basis. \u201cDoes political and civic awareness only need to be cultivated at election time?\u201d says the new bishop of Port-Louis, introducing the document made public on Tuesday April 16 at the Port-Louis bishopric, before going on to say that \u201creflection on this question [\u2026] seems essential to continue building Mauritian society \u2018as one people, as one nation, in peace, justice and liberty’\u201d.<\/p>\n

Confidence and hope in youth
\nLike his predecessors, Mgr Durh\u00f4ne says he believes deeply in our country\u2019s youth. \u201cI believe [\u2026] that you, young people, have extraordinary potential that deserves to be developed. In addressing you, I express my deep conviction that you have much to give to our beloved Republic of Mauritius\u201d, he says in the introduction to the Pastoral Letter, illustrated in a modern way with colors and illustrations inspired by street art, some designs having been conceived with the help of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Pastoral Letter 2024<\/p>\n

Young people as stakeholders in the pursuit of the common good
\nTaking as his starting point the great texts and reference documents published by the Catholic Church, such as Vatican II, Mgr Durh\u00f4ne sets out the aim of politics in several areas: achieving living together, pursuing the common good, and controlling violence, among others. To achieve these goals, the Bishop of Port-Louis invites young people to get involved: \u201cIn solidarity with humankind, you cannot turn your back on the realities of this rapidly changing world. It is your duty as a citizen to get involved in building the future of Mauritian society. It\u2019s up to you to help restore politics to its rightful place. By reclaiming politics and citizenship, political commitment can become a path of hope\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the 3rd chapter, the Bishop of Port-Louis details, with illustrations, the various ways of awakening our young people to political and civic awareness:<\/p>\n

Learning about democracy ;
\nTraining young people in social and political leadership;
\nWorking together for the emergence of Mauritian citizenship.
\nListening to young people
\nFraternity, the fight against addictions, ecology, the healthy use of social networks\u2026 Bishop Durh\u00f4ne takes up topical themes and invites young people to reflect and formulate their project for society. The bishop is keen to hear their aspirations and has set up an e-mail address: diocesepl@gmail.com to gather proposals from Mauritian youth. This listening has already begun. Indeed, several young people from different backgrounds have contributed to the reflections undertaken by Mgr Durh\u00f4ne as part of the drafting of his Pastoral Letter.<\/p>\n
