Pope prays at chapel of St Faustina, greets young
people
(Vatican Radio) On Saturday
morning, Pope Francis paid a visit to the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Krakow.
He began his visit at the Chapel of St Faustina Kowalska, where he was greeted
by the Superior General of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy and the Superior of
the Convent. While there, he blessed a large picture of the Divine Mercy, and
later prayed before the tomb of St Faustina. At the conclusion of his visit,
the Holy Father signed the guest book, adding, in Spanish, the words, “I desire
mercy, and not sacrifices.”
Leaving the convent, the Pope
arrived at the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy. From the terrace, he greeted the
young people gathered in the “field of confessions”: “The Lord today wants us
to feel His mercy even more deeply,” the Pope said. “Never distance yourself
from Jesus! Even if, because of our sins and our failings, we feel we are the
worst, He prefers us that way – thus His mercy spreads out. Let us all profit
this day by receiving the mercy of Jesus.”
At the conclusion of his
remarks, Pope Francis led the young people in a prayer to the “Mother of
Mercy,” and asked them to please pray for him.
During his visit to the
sanctuary, Pope Francis also walked through the Holy Door established at the
church for the Jubilee Year of Mercy.
