«I give a warm welcome to the Arabic-speaking pilgrims, particularly those from Iraq!», said Pope Francis during the General Audience of March 29, 2017.
This morning’s General Audience was held at 9:30 in St. Peter’s Square, where the Holy Father Francis met with groups of pilgrims and faithful from Italy and from all over the world.
The Pope spoke in Italian, translated immediately into Arabic by one of his collaborators in the Roman Curia: «Dear brothers and sisters, by faith, Mary welcomes the Angel’s word and believed the announcement that was she would become the Mother of God, and welcomes even that which she doesn’t understand of God’s action, letting Him open her mind and heart.»
«Like her,» he continued, «we too, are called to live with faith, and to look with hope toward the fulfillment of God’s will in our lives.»
«May the Lord bless you all!» he said.
