Pope
Francis recalls Piemontesi roots in Angelus at Turin
(Vatican Radio) During his Sunday Angelus on his Apostolic
Visit to Turin, Pope Francis recalled that his own grandparents were immigrants
to Argentina from the Piemontese region of Italy, by concluding with a remark
about “this blessed land of which I am a grandson”.
The Holy Father’s Angelus address centered on the Shroud of
Turin as an icon of Jesus’ salvific, self-sacrificing love, which 'attracts us
to the face and martyred body of Jesus and, at the same time, pushes us toward
the face of every person who suffers and is unjustly persecuted. It
pushes us in the same direction of the gift of love of Jesus'.
As Jesus had entrusted his disciples of every age to his Mother,
Pope Francis also entrusted the city of Turin and the inhabitants of the entire
Piemontesi region to the Virgin Mary, 'our loving mother'.
