Vatican City, 1 February 2015 (VIS) –
Following today's Angelus prayer, the Holy Father announced that on 6
June he will travel to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, and asked those present for their prayers so that his
visit “to those dear populations may give encouragement to the
Catholic faithful, may be a leaven for good and contribute to the
consolidation of brotherhood, peace, interreligious dialogue and
friendship”.
He went on to greet the participants in
the fourth world Congress organised by Scholas Occurrentes, to be
held in the Vatican from 2 to 5 February on the theme “Responsibility
for all education for a culture of encounter”.
Finally, he remarked that today is the
“Day for Life” in Italy, focusing this year on the theme
“Solidarity for life”. He expressed his appreciation for the
associations, movements and all others who defend human life. “I
join with the Italian bishops in calling for a renewed recognition of
the human person and more suitable care for life from conception to
its natural end. When we open ourselves to life and serve life, we
experience the revolutionary force of love and tenderness, giving
rise to a new humanism: the humanism of solidarity, the humanism of
life.”
