Vatican City, 18 May 2015 (VIS) - “I
am giving you a mission: pray to the two new saints for peace in your
land, so that there may be an end to this interminable war, and to
bring peace among peoples”, said Pope Francis this morning as he
received in audience the Carmelite Sisters of Bethlehem and the
Middle East and the Sisters of the Rosary, in Rome to attend the
canonisation of Mary of Jesus Crucified and Marie-Alphonsine Danil
Ghattas.
“Pray too for Christians who are
persecuted, driven away from their homes and their land, and victims
of 'white-gloved' persecution, hidden but present: white-gloved
persecution and terrorism. Keep praying for peace”.
The Holy Father, who greeted the women
religious during an interval in his meeting with the heads of the
dicasteries of the Roman Curia, invited them all to pray a Hail Mary,
each in her own language.
