Vatican offers 2 families shelter
Print Edition
THE Vatican will shelter two families of refugees who are “fleeing death” from war or hunger, Pope Francis said yesterday as he called on Catholic parishes, convents and monasteries across europe to do the same.
Francis cited Mother Teresa, the european-born nun who cared for the poorest in India, in making his appeal in remarks to pilgrims and tourists in St Peter’s Square.
“Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees who are fleeing death by war and by hunger, and who are on a path toward a hope for life, the Gospel calls us to be neighbors to the smallest and most abandoned, to give them concrete hope,” Frances said.
“May every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary in europe host a family, starting with my diocese of Rome,” Francis said. He also asked bishops throughout europe to have their dioceses take up his call to “express the Gospel in concrete terms and take in a family of refugees.”
