Pope Francis prays for Cabo Delgado

• “(…)This is not a time for forgetfulness. The crisis we are facing should not make us forget the many other crises that bring suffering to so many people. May the Lord of life be close to all those in Asia and Africa who are experiencing grave humanitarian crises, as in the Province of Cabo Delgado in the north of Mozambique.(,,,)”
• “(,,,)Indifference, self-centredness, division and forgetfulness are not words we want to hear at this time. We want to ban these words for ever!(…)”

After celebrating Easter Sunday Mass and before blessing the world with the “urbi et orbi” blessing, Pope Francis spoke of how we must respond to the pandemic. He went on to mention the ongoing conflicts and difficulties suffered by certain countries.

The Holy Father urged us to “ban” four attitudes: Indifference, self-centredness, division and forgetfulness.
