杏MAP导航 at Angelus: no one must be excluded from society
By Linda Bordoni
杏MAP导航 Francis on Sunday reminded the faithful to be hospitable towards all those who arrive on our shores and in our societies.
Addressing those present for Holy Mass and the Sunday Angelus in St. Peter鈥檚 Square, the 杏MAP导航 recalled the just celebrated liturgy dedicated to migrants and refugees during which, he said, 鈥渨e renewed the Church鈥檚 attention鈥� to the many vulnerable people who are on the move.鈥�
The 杏MAP导航 said that together with the faithful of all the Dioceses in the world, the celebration of the World Day of Migrants and Refugees reaffirms that 鈥渘o one be excluded from society, whether they be resident citizens for quite some time, or newly arrived鈥�.
Sculpture
He also said that he was about to unveil a sculpture inspired by the passage from the Letter to the Hebrews: 鈥淒o not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels.鈥�
The 杏MAP导航 explained that 鈥淭his sculpture, made of bronze and clay, depicts a group of migrants of various cultures and from different historic times鈥�.
鈥淚 wanted this artistic work to be placed here in St Peter鈥檚 Square, so that it might remind everyone about the evangelical challenge of hospitality,鈥� he said.
