Vatican City, 11 November 2015 (VIS) –
Before today's general audience, in the study of the Paul VI Hall,
the Holy Father received Dragan Covic, the incumbent chairman of the
Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, accompanied by the
representatives of the Organising Committee of the State and the
Church for his pastoral visit on 6 June this year.
“I would like to thank you for your
visit”, he said. “I still hold in my heart that many great and
beautiful things I have learned from you: your capacity for
suffering, your capacity for forgiveness or at least to seek to
forgive, your capacity to join and work together, your capacity for
dialogue. Many thanks for the examples you give to humanity. I ask
you to greet, on my behalf, your people, all the people, the two
other presidents, and the communities that have a different religion
but which meet, speak, and dialogue for the good of the country. May
they speak between themselves and help your homeland to go ahead. And
greet your good young people! I remember the questions they asked me.
They are the promise of your homeland”.
The Holy Father thanked those present,
asking them for their prayers. He gave his blessing to
Bosnia-Herzegovina and its families, children and future, encouraging
them to continue on their path.
