The phenomenon of migration exists not only in the realm of speculation at the turn of the century or demagogy with a certain dose of decadency or pessimism but also it is grasped by the prophetic mission of the Church, which observes and analyses signs of our times simultaneously demanding the answers adequate to the human conditions and situations which constantly change. Diagnosing human mass movements, the roots and consequences of mobility of thousands of nomads, the defining of human journey to the oasis – the place of meeting, hospitality, opportunity for personality development with possibility of remaining different among numerous races, cultures and religions is a reason to make brave decisions. The contemporary exodus has reached catastrophic proportions and hence it has become a huge problem for those in power and the entire societies including the Church within the global dimension.John Paul’s thought immortalised in the papal documents, based on his own historical experience and careful analysis of the current affairs, is still an inspiration to many discussions that lead to concrete decisive steps toward defining social identity. A migrant’s problem will be solved, notes the Pope, when people become brothers and sisters, and when love will become the strength to change. For us, the contemporary “watchmen for daybreak”, creators of open societies based on solidarity achieving this goal is a duty.
