Vatican City, 1 November 2015 (VIS) –
After today's Marian Angelus prayer, the Pope referred to the
delicate situation in the Central African Republic following the
painful events of recent days, and launched an appeal to the parties
involved to put an end to this cycle of violence. “I am spiritually
close to the Combonian Fathers of the parish of Our Lady of Fatima in
Bangui, which is welcoming many displaced people. I express my
solidarity with the Church, other religious confessions and the
entire nation, so sorely tried, as they make every effort to
overcome divisions and to re-embark on the path of peace”.
“To show the prayerful closeness of
all the Church to this afflicted and tormented nation, and to exhort
all Central Africans increasingly to be witnesses of mercy and
reconciliation, I intend to open the Holy Door of the Cathedral of
Bangui on Sunday 29 November, during the apostolic trip I hope to
make to this nation”.
