Vatican City, 6 January 2015 (VIS) –
Following the Angelus, the Pope gave his customary greeting to the
numerous faithful and pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square. He
expressed his “spiritual nearness” to the brothers and sisters of
the Christian East, “many of whom celebrate the birth of the Lord
tomorrow.” He sent them a wish for peace and wellness.
He also mentioned that the 6th of
January marks the “World Day of Missionary Childhood”. “It is
the day for children,” he said, “who with their prayers and
sacrifices, help their contemporaries most in need, acting as
missionaries and witnesses of fraternity and solidarity”. At the
end of his remarks, he wished all a good feastday.
