Une Minute avec Marie
Faire connaître et aimer Marie
Pope Francis visited a home for disabled and HIV-infected youth in Panama on Sunday, January 27, 2019, the last night of his stay in this Central American country, on the occasion of World Youth Day 2019 (WYD). At the end of his visit, the Pope introduced the prayer of the Sunday Angelus for the young people and the staff of the home. Here is what he said before the prayer:
“I entrust you to our Blessed Lady. We ask her, as a good Mother, full of tender love and closeness, to teach us to make an effort each day to discover who our neighbors are, and to help us go out quickly to meet them, to give them a home, an embrace, where care and fraternal love meet. This is a mission involving each and every one of us.
I encourage you now to place beneath her mantle all the concerns and needs you may have, all your sorrows and hurts, so that, as a Good Samaritan, she will come to us and aid us by her maternal love and with her smile, the smile of a Mother.”
