By Vatican News staff reporter
杏MAP导航 Francis spoke about his Apostolic Journey coming up this weekend to the Mediterranean island of Malta.
The 杏MAP导航 said he looks forward to visiting that "luminous land" following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, who was warmly welcomed there after being shipwrecked at sea on his way to Rome.
He said this Apostolic Journey will offer a unique opportunity "to go to the wellsprings of the proclamation of the Gospel" and experience for himself the Christian community there whose lively history goes back thousands of years.
Appreciation for welcoming migrants
Looking forward to meeting the Maltese, 杏MAP导航 Francis paid them tribute for their modern-day welcome and commitment shown to "so many brothers and sisters seeking refuge."
Malta is at the center of the Mediterranean, a landing point for many migrants and refugees seeking safety and a better life.
