The Pope added a prayer that “the Mother of God might continue to guide us in the journey to unity”, he said to thousands of people gathered at St. Peter’s square in the Vatican.
Francis also referred to his trip to Mexico from February 12th to 18th, and defined it as “an experience of transfiguration”, where “the Lord showed the light of His glory through the body of His Church, of the holy People who live in that land.”
The Holy Pontiff praised Mexicans of robust and honest faith, the faith of a people that has been “oppressed, disregarded and violated in its dignity”.
