More than 100 children handed out white Ecuadorian roses to symbolize the purity and innocence of children, entrusted to the world of adults.Words of Cardinal Bertone were on the program:

“To whom will we entrust our future? What world does even just one child deserve? Something very profound is at stake, that is, how do we understand, in the final analysis, human beings: as an unlimited egoism or as a bestowed freedom that calls to a communion of love and the liberty of sharing.

“The Christian faith convinces us that our world has not been irretrievably won by a hostility toward life." And even though the “culture of egoism” advances, the cardinal wrote, “there exists also those who welcome children joyfully, blessing heaven and smiling at each gift of God. There are those who also open their heart and welcome children marked by pain and handicaps and become a family to them: These are the deeds of this time, they are the flowers of our age."
