“I greet the Congolese citizens who are present here. Your country is beautiful; it is beautiful! Pray for your country!” said Pope Francis Sunday after the Marian Angelus Prayer.The Congolese community in Rome, who usually celebrate Sunday Mass at 11. 00 hours, anticipated their Eucharist to 09. 30 in order to allow more people attend the Angelus in Saint Peter Square. As a result of the initiative, many of the country’s faithful resident in Rome participated in the Angelus prayer.
To express their gratitude and make known their presence, they waved their country’s flag, and upon noticing them, Pope Francis had a special word for them. The Congolese nationals responded with joy when the Pope reminded them of the beauty of their country located in the heart of Africa.During his visit to the DRC, Pope Francis did not mince words in his speech to authorities, civil society and diplomats.
“Dear women and men of the Congo, your country is truly a diamond of creation. At the same time, you are infinitely more precious than any treasure found in this fruitful soil!” Pope Francis told the Congolese in Kinshasa.
