Faithful to Life: Abp Fisichella

Tens of thousands of pilgrims from around the world are expected to converge in the Vatican this coming Saturday and Sunday in a communal witness to the sacred value of all life, revealed a communique from Archbishop Rino Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization.
The Pilgrims with Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square will be able to make the world to hear the Church’s choral expression of the very heart of Jesus’ redemptive mission: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly’. In focus will be the lives of the aged, the lives of the sick, the lives of the dying, the lives of the unborn, the lives of the physically and mentally challenged, and the lives of all those who suffer, the communique noted.

In addition, this event will offer the occasion to celebrate, affirm, and encourage all those who so tenderly and with self-abandonment follow in the footsteps of the Good Shepherd by tending to the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of those who are aged, disabled, ill, unborn, homebound, dying or who suffer in any way.

On June 15, Saturday afternoon, there will be a pilgrimage down to Pious XII Square, which will conclude with the recitation of the Creed in various languages. On Sunday morning at 10:30, Pope Francis will celebrate Holy Mass in St. Peter’s Square for the pilgrims.
