«Fifty years ago, yesterday, man set foot on the moon, realizing an extraordinary dream.»
Pope Francis, the first Pope from the Americas, made this observation during his Sunday Angelus address today, July 21, 2019.
«May the memory of that great step,» he prayed, «trigger the desire to progress together to even greater goals: more dignity to the weak, more justice between peoples, more future for our common home.»
The Holy Father’s Angelus address today reflected on Jesus’ visit to the home of Mary and Martha.
Following the midday prayer, the Pope greeted various groups present, including extending a «warm greeting» to pilgrims and Romans, and noting that «in a special way» he extended his greetings to the novices of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians from different countries.
The Holy Father wished everyone a good Sunday, lunch, and reminded them to pray for him.
