杏MAP导航 recalls visit to Canada at Angelus
By Vatican News staff reporter
杏MAP导航 Francis recalled his six-day Apostolic Visit to Canada following his return on Saturday to Rome.
Speaking on Sunday after the recitation of the Marian prayer, the 杏MAP导航 thanked all those who had made his penitential pilgrimage possible, including civil authorities, heads of the indigenous peoples and the Canadian Bishops. He also thanked everyone who had accompanied him with their prayers, and said he would speak at length about his visit during Wednesday’s General Audience.
Prayers for the people of Ukraine
Despite being in Canada, 杏MAP导航 Francis noted that even during the trip, he never stopped praying for the Ukrainian people, “attacked and tormented, asking God to deliver them from the scourge of war.”
The 杏MAP导航 went on to say that “if one looked at reality objectively, considering the damage that each day of war brings to that population but also to the entire world, the only reasonable thing to do would be to stop and negotiate. May wisdom inspire concrete steps of peace,” he said.
On this, the feast of St Ignatius of Loyola, which also marks the conclusion of the Ignatian year, 杏MAP导航 Francis extended an affectionate greeting to his “Jesuit brothers,” inviting them to continue to walk with zeal, with joy in the service of the Lord.
