At the Angelus, Pope Francis prays that four martyrs beatified in the Democratic Republic of Congo might be examples of peace and reconciliation. He asks for continued prayers that paths of peace may be opened wherever war rages.
Xaverian missionaries Father Luigi Carrara and Brother Vittorio Faccin were martyred in Baraka on 28 November 1964 by militants taking part in the Kwilu Rebellion. Later that same day, the rebels moved to the town of Fizi where they killed Father Giovanni, a fellow Xaverian; and Abbé Albert Joubert, a Congolese-born French priest.
Taking the occasion of their beatification on Sunday, Pope Francis prayed that their “example and intercession might foster paths of reconciliation and peace for the good of the Congolese people”.The Holy Father also asked for continued prayers “that paths of peace may be opened in the Middle East, Palestine, Israel; as well as in tormented Ukraine, in Myanmar, and in every war zone”.
He prayed, too, that such paths to peace might be accompanied by “a commitment to dialogue and negotiation, and to abstain from violent actions and reactions”.Finally, after welcoming and blessing pilgrims and visitors from Rome and around the world, Pope Francis had special greetings to the women and girls taking part in the pilgrimage to the Marian shrine in Piekary Šlaskie, Poland.
“I encourage them to bear joyful witness to the Gospel in their families and in society”, the Pope said.
