(Vatican Radio) Below is a Vatican Radio English translation of a message sent by
Pope Francis to the participants of a Concert for the Year of Faith held on Saturday. I
would like to say thank you to all those who made this concert possible and who organized
it in the Year of Faith. In particular, I thank the soloists, the choir of the National
Academy of Santa Cecilia, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Conductor Juraj ValĨuha
for the remarkable performance of this monumental Symphony, which not only makes us
live a moment of pause and elevation of the soul, but provokes in us all feelings
and emotions that drive us to reflection. Thank you so much. "
