Vatican
City, 27 November 2013 (VIS) – At the end of the catechesis at
today's general audience, the Holy Father greeted Ukrainian pilgrims,
Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk and the bishops and faithful of
the Greek-Catholic Church, in Rome to venerate the tombs of the
apostles Peter and Paul at the end of the Year of Faith, on the
occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the translation of the relics
of St. Josaphat to the Vatican Basilica. For this reason, the reading
preceding the catechesis was given in Ukrainian.
“The
example of St. Josaphat, who gave his life for the Lord Jesus and for
the unity of the Church, represents for all of us an invitation to
commit ourselves every day to communion with our brothers”, said
Pope Francis. “May the Lord bless you all, by the intercession of
the Virgin Mary and St. Josaphat”.
