Pope Francis concludes his two-day Apostolic Visit to
Morocco by thanking all those who made his journey possible.
By Francesca Merlo
At the end of his closing Mass in Morocco’s Capital Rabat,
Pope Francis expressed his desire to once more “bless the Lord for enabling me
to make this journey in order to be, among you and with you, a servant of
hope”.
He went on to express his gratitude to His Majesty King
Mohammed VI for his invitation, as well as to the Authorities and “to all those
who helped at every stage of this visit”.
Pope Francis’ thanks then went to his “brother Bishops”, the
Archbishops of Rabat and Tangier, together with the priests, men and women
religious and all the lay faithful who are present in Morocco “as servants of
the Church’s life and mission”.
“Thank you” said Pope Francis, “for all that you did to
prepare for this visit and for everything that we have shared in faith, hope
and charity”.
Finally, the Pope encouraged all those present to “persevere
on the path of dialogue” with our Muslim brothers and sisters, and urged them
to be the servants of hope that “our world so urgently needs”.
