Vatican City, 6 January 2014 (VIS) –
At 4 p.m. the Pope made a private visit to the Roman parish of St.
Alphonsus Maria Liguori to see the living nativity display organised
by the faithful of the parish, in which two hundred people
participated. The visit was in response to an invitation sent by the
parish.
Accompanied by more than three thousand
people, the Pope was received by Cardinal Agostino Vallini, vicar
general of His Holiness for the diocese of Rome, Bishop Guerino Di
Tora, and the parish priest Fr. Dario Pompeo Criscuoli.
The Holy Father greeted all those
present, demonstrating warmth and closeness to the people. He joked
with children, held one of the lambs from the Nativity display on his
shoulders, and tasted the ricotta cheese made by the parishioners.
