The Archbishop of the western city of Edmonton – the first stop on the upcoming papal journey – recalled the Pope’s meeting with representatives of Canada’s indigenous populations during a visit to Rome this spring. “What happened in Rome is that the delegation of indigenous peoples encountered in the Holy Father a man of profound compassion,” the Archbishop said.
Archbishop Smith said the Pope’s message could be summed up with the words, “The Church stands with you… Don’t forget that, the Church stands with you!”He also emphasized the significance of the Pope’s personal presence in Canada. In the first place, he said, there is the personality of Pope Francis himself “which does touch people right away.” He noted the “wonderful, wonderful sense of healing and hope” that many people experience on meeting the Holy Father.
The Bishops of Canada in particular, he said, have tried to express the desire “to draw close, to work together with the indigenous peoples, to discern together with them how we can face the various challenges that they are encountering, how we can together learn from them, from their wisdom, and how we can learn from that as a country.
