Pope
prays to Mary ahead of Apostolic Voyage to Strasbourg
(Vatican Radio) As has become customary, Pope Francis visited
the Basilica of Saint Mary Major on the eve of his Apostolic Voyage to
Strasbourg.
The Holy Father
visited the Basilica around 17:30 Monday evening, where he paused in prayer
before the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title “Salus Populi
Romani.” A statement from the Holy See Press Office said Pope Francis spent
approximately half an hour in prayer, asking for Mary’ intercession for the
success of his visit to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe in
Strasbourg. Following his prayer, the Holy Father offered a wreath with blue
and yellow roses, the colours of Europe.
