Vatican City, 23 November 2014 (VIS) –
After celebrating Holy Mass for the canonisation of six blesseds, the
Pope prayed the Angelus with the faithful gathered in St. Peter's
Square and greeted in particular the official delegations from Italy
and India, the homelands of the new Saints.
“The example of the four Italian
saints born in the provinces of Vicenza, Naples, Cosenza and Rimini
helps the Italian people to revive the spirit of collaboration and
harmony for the common good, and to look to the future with hope,
united and trusting in the closeness of God Who never abandons us,
even in the most difficult moments”.
“Through the intercession of the two
new Indian saints from Kerala, a great land of faith and priestly and
religious vocations, may the Lord grant a new missionary impulse to
the Church in India, which is very great, so that inspired by their
example of harmony and reconciliation, Christians from India may
continue on the path of solidarity and fraternal coexistence”.
