Vatican City, 16 September 2015 (VIS) –
After today's catechesis the Holy Father mentioned that this Saturday
he will commence, with high expectations, his apostolic trip to Cuba
and the United States of America. The main reason for the trip is the
Eighth World Meeting of Families, which will take place in
Philadelphia, but Francis will also visit the central headquarters of
the United Nations to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the
founding of this institution.
“Until then, I greet with affection
the Cuban and American faithful who, guided by their pastors, are
preparing themselves spiritually. I ask all to accompany me with
prayer, invoking the light and the strength of the Holy Spirit and
the intercession of Mary Most Holy, patroness of Cuba as Our Lady of
Charity del Cobre, and patroness of the United States as the
Immaculate Conception”.
He also spoke about the forthcoming
beatification of Pio Alberto del Corona (1837-1912), bishop of San
Miniato, Italy, and founder of the Dominican Brothers of the Holy
Spirit, to take place this Saturday in the same diocese. “He was a
committed guide and a wise teacher of the people entrusted to him.
May his example and his intercession help the Church to walk in the
spirit of the Gospel, bringing fruit to good works”.
