Vatican City, 30 April 2014 (VIS) –
Following today's catechesis, Pope Francis greeted, among others, the
compatriots of St. John Paul II, whose “witness of faith, hope,
charity and trust in Divine Mercy” is, he said, particularly
tangible in these days. “May his intercession support the life and
good intentions of each one of you, the worries and joys of your
loved ones, the development and serene future of the Church in
Poland, and of your entire homeland”.
Addressing the young, the sick, and
newly-weds, he mentioned that yesterday was the liturgical feast of
St. Catherine of Siena, patron of Italy and Europe, and he encouraged
the young to “learn from her how to live with the clear conscience
of those who do not bend to human compromises”, the sick to be
inspired by “her example of strength in the moments of greatest
pain”; and young couples to “imitate the solidity of faith of
those who trust in God”.
