After the Angelus
Dear brothers and sisters!
In the spiritual atmosphere of joy and serenity of Holy Christmas, I greet with affection all of you present here and all those who follow us through the media. I reiterate my wish for peace: peace in families, peace in parish and religious communities, peace in movements and associations, peace for those peoples tormented by war, peace for the dear and embattled Ukraine. There are so many Ukrainian flags here! Let us ask for peace for this suffering people!
This week I have received many messages of good wishes from different parts of the world. As I cannot respond to each one, I express my gratitude to all, especially for the gift of prayer.
I wish everyone a Happy Saint Stephen’s Day, and please do not forget to pray for me. Enjoy your lunch, and arrivederci!
