Vatican
City, 16 October 2013 (VIS) – In his greetings in several languages
at today's general audience, the Pope addressed, among others, the
German students of the Mulhausen Liebfrauenschule. “Learn from St.
Augustine who said, 'seek not to understand that you may believe, but
believe that you may understand'. May the Holy Spirit accompany you
in your endeavours”.
“Today
in Katowice”, he said to the Polish pilgrims, “an important
cultural and religious event is taking place: a holy representation
of the life and spirituality of St. Francis, with the participation
of hundreds of actors and thousands of spectators. I express my wish
to the organisers and participants that this artistic encounter with
the 'Poverello' of Assisi may arouse in the hearts of all those
present the love for God the Creator, respect for creation and true
charity for all those in need of spiritual and material assistance”.
“I
entrust all present, and your loved ones, to the heavenly
intercession of Blessed John Paul II, on the thirty-fifth anniversary
of his election to the Chair of St. Peter, and impart my heartfelt
blessing”.
In
Italian he warmly addressed the staff of the various embassies to the
the Holy See, whom he thanked for their valuable work, and the
delegates of the “Mouvement International Quart Monde”, “on the
eve of the World Day for the Refusal of Misery and on World Food Day,
convened by the United Nations”.
