Vatican City, 8 March 2015 (VIS) –
After today's Angelus prayer, the Holy Father urged, “during Lent,
let us try to be closer to those who are living through moments of
difficulty; let us be closer to them with affection, prayer and
solidarity”.
He went on to address some words to
women on International Women's Day: “a greeting to all women! To
all the women who work every day to build a more human and welcoming
society. And a fraternal thank you to those who in a thousands ways
bear witness to the Gospel and work in the Church. This is for us an
opportunity to reaffirm the importance and the necessity of their
presence in life. A world where women are marginalised is a barren
world, because women not only bring life, but they also give us the
ability to see beyond – they see beyond themselves – and they
transmit to us the ability to understand the world through different
eyes, to hear things with more creative, more patient, more tender
hearts. A prayer and a special blessing for all women present here in
the square and for all women! Greetings!”.
