Vatican
City, 29 September 2013 (VIS) – Following the celebration of Holy
Mass for the Day of Catechists on the occasion of the Year of Faith
on the solemnity of the archangels St. Michael, St. Raphael and St.
Gabriel, Pope Francis prayed the Angelus with the faithful and
pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square. Before the Marian prayer,
the Pope greeted His Beatitude Archbishop Youhanna X, Greek Orthodox
patriarch of Antioch and all the East. “Your presence”, he said,
“invites us once again to pray for peace in Syria and in the Middle
East”. Francis greeted the pilgrims from Assisi who had come to
Rome on horseback, and mentioned that in Croatia on Saturday 28
September, the diocesan priest Miroslav Bulesic, martyred in 1947,
was beatified.
