Before praying the Regina Coeli at the end of the Divine
Mercy Sunday liturgy, Pope Francis greeted members of the faithful present.
Pope Francis thanked everyone who participated in the
liturgy, especially the Missionaries of Mercy gathered in Rome for a meeting.
“Thank you for your service!” he told them.
He also wished a Happy Easter to Christians belonging to the
Eastern Churches who celebrate Easter today. “May the Risen Lord fill them with
light and peace, and comfort those communities who live in particularly
difficult situations,” he told them.
On the occasion of International Romani Day, Pope Francis
greeted the Rom and Sinti present. “I bid peace and harmony to those people who
belong to these ancient peoples, and hope that each day might foster a culture
of encounter, with the good will of knowing each other and respecting each
other reciprocally.” He asked them to pray for him, and invited them to pray
with him for their Syrian brothers and sisters who are refugees.
In conclusion, Pope Francis greeted all the pilgrims
present, placing all present under the “mantle of Mary, Mother of Mercy.”
