Vatican City, 2 February 2014 (VIS) –
Following the Angelus prayer, the Pope greeted, amongst others, the
participants in the Day for Life, celebrated today in Italy with the
theme “Generating the Future”. He extended his greetings and his
encouragement to “the associations, movements and cultural centres
who participate in the defence and promotion of life. I join with the
Italian bishops today in repeating that 'every child is the face of
the Lord Who loves life, a gift for the family and for society”.
Everyone, in his own role and environment, is called to love and
serve life, to welcome it, to respect and promote it, especially when
it is fragile and in need of attention and care, from the womb until
its natural end on this earth”.
The Bishop of Rome also mentioned the
inhabitants of Rome and the region of Tuscany, who are suffering the
consequences of the intense rainfall of recent days which has caused
flooding and inundations. “Our solidarity and our prayers are with
these brothers of ours. Dear brothers and sisters, I am very close to
you”.
