Toute vie sociale a ses règles, y compris au sein de la communauté chrétienne.
Le Seigneur nous propose aujourd’hui une démarche fort pertinente: la correction
fraternelle. Nous y découvrons que nous sommes responsables les uns des autres.
Exercée dans l’amour et le pardon, cette responsabilité est porteuse de vie.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's Address
at the City Hall Square - July 26, 2011 (after July 22nd attacks)
Dear all of you,
What a sight! I am standing face to face with the will of the people. You are the will of
the people. Thousands and thousands of Norwegians – in Oslo and all over the
country – are doing what you are doing this evening. Taking over the streets, the
squares, the public space, with the same defiant message: We are broken hearted,
but we are not broken. With torches and roses we are sending a message out to the
world: We will not allow fear to break us. And we will not allow the fear of fear to
silence us.
The sea of people I see in front of me today and the warmth I feel from people all over
the country convinces me that I am right. Norway will pass the test. Evil can kill
individuals, but it can never defeat a whole people.
This evening the Norwegian people are writing history. With the strongest weapons in
the world – freedom of speech and democracy – we are staking out the course for
Norway after 22 July 2011. There will be a Norway before and Norway after 22 July.
But it is we who will decide how that Norway will be. Norway will be recognizable.
Our response has grown in strength through the incomprehensible hours, days and
nights we have been through, and it is amplified powerfully this evening: More
openness, more democracy. Resolve and strength.
That is us. That is Norway. We will take back our security!
Since the attacks in Oslo and on Utøya, we have been united in shock, despair and
grief. And we will continue to be, but it will not only be like this. Slowly, the first of us
will begin to be able to face everyday life again. Others will need more time. It is
important that we respect these differences. All forms of grief are equally normal.
Still we must take care of one another. Show that we care. Talk to those who have
been hardest hit. Be fellow human beings.
We who are gathered here have a message to all of you who have lost one of your
loved ones: We are here for you.
We will also look towards Norway after 22 July 2011. We must be careful not to draw
too many or too definite conclusions while we are a nation in mourning, but there are
certain things we can promise one another this evening.
Firstly, Out of all this pain, we can glimpse something valuable that has taken root.
What we see this evening may be the largest and most important march that the
Norwegian people have taken part in since the Second World War. A march for
democracy, solidarity and tolerance. People all over the country are standing shoulder
to shoulder at this moment.
We can learn from this. Do more of this. Each and every one of us can make the fabric
of democracy as little stronger. This is what we are seeing here.
Secondly, I want to say this to all the young people here. The massacre on Utøya
was an attack against young people’s dream of being able to help to make the world a
better place. Your dreams have been brutally crushed. But your dreams can be
fulfilled. You can keep the spirit of this evening alive. You can make a difference. Do
that! I have a simple request to make of you. Get involved. Care. Join an
organisation. Take part in debates. Use your vote. Free elections are the jewel in the
crown of democracy. By taking part, you are saying a resounding yes to democracy.
Finally, I am infinitely grateful to be living in a country where, at a critical time, people
take to the streets with flowers and candles to protect democracy. To honour and
commemorate those we have lost. This shows that Nordahl Grieg was right: “We are
so few in this country; each of the fallen is a brother and friend.”
We will carry this with us as we start to shape Norway after 22 July 2011. Our fathers
and mothers promised us, “There will never be another 9 April.” We say, “There will
never be another 22 July.”
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's
speech at the national memorial ceremony for 22 July 2011
Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and gentlemen, Dear all of you,
Today we are stopping the clock to remember the dead.
We are doing so as one nation.
Together we lost what we could not, and should not, lose. 77 lives.
Together we defeated hatred.
Together we are embracing openness, tolerance and fellowship.
We have cried together with you who were forced to say a last goodbye at the
graveside.
We commiserate with those of you who cannot forget the images, the sounds and the
smells of that black Friday. We have thanked those of you who saved lives. Those of
you who have mitigated the pain. Every candle has warmed. Every thought has
comforted. Every rose has given hope. We are a small country. But a proud people.
Together we have many questions. Together we are looking for honest answers. Not
to blame other people than the perpetrator. But to know. To learn. To proceed.
In respect for those who were torn away we must look ahead. It also means parting.
In everyday life differences and disagreements await us. Variety and diversity. We
welcome that.
We must address three tasks in the spirit of solidarity we experienced in connection
with 22 July.
The first is that we must see those of you who have only just begun to walk the path of
grief. It is difficult for us to fully grasp the depth of the grief of losing a loved one in
such a way. The empty chair at Sunday dinner. The birthday without the birthday
child. The first Christmas.
You can help. Bake a cake, invite someone in for coffee. Go for a walk together.
Kindness is our greatest asset.
The second task is to be alert to any signs of extremism. We must learn from the
young. We must counter hatred with arguments. We must invite in those who have
gone astray. We must oppose those who want to use violence. We must meet them
with all the arms of democracy. We must meet them everywhere.
Our third task is to create safety and security. Good preparedness creates security.
Police in the streets creates security. Controls. Exercises. Equipment. We must do
all of this.
But we need something even more important. We need you. No matter where you
live. No matter what god you worship. Each and every one of us can take
responsibility. Each and every one of us can guard our freedom.
Together we make an unbreakable chain of solidarity, democracy, safety and security.
That is our protection against violence.
