“I hope that the commitment to care for creation will always be accompanied by active solidarity with the poorest people,” said His Holiness Pope Francis in his speech after reciting the prayer Rejoice, Queen of Heaven.
After reciting the prayer Rejoice, Queen of Heaven, His Holiness Pope Francis greeted the faithful gathered in Saint Peter’s Square and said, “Dear brothers and sisters, yesterday, in Paris, Enrico Plancha, priest of the Order of Saint Vincent de Paul, Ladislao Radegh and three of his fellow priests of the Order were beatified. The Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Pastors driven by apostolic zeal, brought together by the testimony of faith leading to the martyrdom they were subjected to in Paris in 1871, during what is known as the “Fourth French Revolution”.
Yesterday, Pope Francis continued, saying that World Earth Day was celebrated. It is my hope that commitment to care for creation will always be accompanied by active solidarity with the poorest. “Unfortunately, the situation in Sudan remains dangerous, so I renew my appeal for the violence to stop as soon as possible and for the path of dialogue to resume,” he added. I invite everyone to pray for our brothers and sisters in Sudan.
Today marks the ninety-ninth day of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, the Holy Father added, on the subject of the love of knowledge. The challenges of the new humanism. I hope that the largest Italian Catholic university will meet these challenges in the spirit of its founders, and in particular in the spirit of the young Armida Barelli, who was canonized last year.
Pope Francis concluded by saying that next Friday I will go for three days to Budapest, in Hungary, to complete the visit I made in 2021 to attend the International Eucharistic Conference. It will also be a visit to Central Europe, where the winds of the Ice War are still blowing and the movements of many people are bringing pressing humanitarian issues to the agenda. But now I wish to address with love to the Hungarian brothers and sisters that I look forward to visiting you. I know that you are preparing for my coming with great commitment: I thank you with all my heart for that. I ask all of you to accompany me in prayer on this visit.
