Vatican
City, 27 December 2015 (VIS) – Pope Francis, through a telegram
sent by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, addressed the
participants in the 38th European Meeting of Young Adults organized
by the Taize Community, which will take place from Monday, 28
December 2015 until 1 January 2016, in Valencia, Spain.
The
Holy Father encouraged the more than 30,000 expected participants to
''have the courage of mercy, which will guide you not only to receive
it in your lives but also to be close to those who are in distress.
You know that the Church is here for all of humanity and where there
are Christians everyone should find an oasis of mercy. This,'' he
emphasized, ''particularly applies to the many migrants in such need
of your welcome.'' The Pope also expressed his hope that ''during
these beautiful days … you might better discover Christ, ‘the
face of the Father’s mercy'', and he sent them his blessing.
