Memory of Pope Francis’ visit to
Myanmar and Bangladesh
It was on 26 Nov., 2017, that Pope Francis flew from Rome on
his apostolic journey to Myanmar and Bangladesh as a messenger of ‘Peace’. The
theme of the Pope’s Myanmar visit was ‘Love and Peace’ and that of Bangladesh -
‘Harmony and Peace’.
Pope Francis was in Myanmar from Nov 27-30 and then in
Bangladesh from Nov 30-Dec 2. The purpose of the Holy Father’s visit to
these two Asian nations, with 1.2% of Catholics in Myanmar and 1 percent in
Bangladesh, was to confirm the faith of the Catholic communities and to carry
Christ’s message of reconciliation, forgiveness, peace and harmony among the
people for the common good. His visit also encouraged ecumenical and
interfaith cooperation in order to be a prophetic and healing presence in the
life of the nation.
