we ask more questions because our answers are never final. There is always so much more to know. Please join me now in directing your attention to the screens. Although my father cannot be with us today, he wanted to contribute to this celebration in order to honor

00:01:59.430 - 00:02:18.210

within each of us is intrinsically tied to a limitless humanity between all peoples. Father Desmond calls upon all of us to recognize that each and every human being is unique in all of history. And in doing so, embrace our own vast potential to be agents for

00:02:18.220 - 00:03:16.979

spiritual progress and positive change. Not only does Father Desmond teach this idea he lives it and has provided to all of us the foundation for living his message of love and forgiveness. Yes, this comes from the Prime Minister's office on 10 Downing Street. The award
