Pope offers "spiritual medicine" to pilgrims
at Angelus
(Vatican Radio)
It’s time for another dose of the “spiritual medicine”Misericordin. Following
the Angelus on Sunday, Pope Francis offered the faithful gathered in St Peter’s
Square the gift of a small box, designed to look like a box of medicine,
containing a small Rosary and an image of the Merciful Jesus.
“Lent is a good
time to complete a journey of conversion, that has mercy at its centre,” the
Pope said. He invited the faithful to “welcome this gift as a spiritual aid in
order, especially during this Year of Mercy, to spread love, forgiveness, and
brotherhood.”
It is the
second time Pope Francis has offered Misericordin to the faithful. In November
of 2013, the Pope encouraged the faithful to use the “spiritual medicine” in
order “to make concrete the fruits of the Year of Faith” which was coming to an
end.
On both
occasions, the gifts were distributed by volunteers, including homeless people,
refugees, and the poor.
