Pope Francis sends message to Eucharistic Congress in
Brazil
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
has expressed his love for the people of the Amazon region in a message to the
XVII National Eucharistic Congress of Brazil, taking place this weekend in
Belém.
Reflection on the call of
Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel, and to baptize, Pope Francis said “while we
strive to promote the new evangelization throughout the land, we should
remember events in the past connected to the preaching of the Gospel: In them we
can contemplate the grace of God, Who is always rich in mercy, and calls all
men to salvation in Christ.”
In his message, the Holy
Father mentioned his love for the church leaders from the Amazon, and every
part of Brazil.
“In confirming the faith of
the people, transmitting catechesis, reminding them to practice prayer and the
exercise of charity in everyday life; you will give special emphasis to the
domestic church, which is the family, within which are born and educated the
future generations of Christians and missionaries.”
The Pope’s message was
delivered by his special envoy to the event, Cardinal Cláudio Hummes, OFM.
