On his arrival in Budapest, Hungary, the Pope signed the country’s Book of Honour, writing in Italian: “I come as a pilgrim and friend to Hungary, a country rich in history and culture; in Budapest, city of bridges and of saints, I think of all Europe, and pray that, in unity and solidarity, it might be, in our times, too a house of peace and a prophecy of welcome.”The Pope challenged the nations of Europe to recapture a spirit of fraternal unity and pursue “creative efforts for peace”.
“I want to assure you that good pastoral ministry is possible if we are able to live as the Lord has commanded us, in the love that is the gift of His Spirit,” the Pope said, speaking to an audience of approximately 1,000 Hungarian priests, seminarians and pastoral workers gathered in St Stephen’s Co-Cathedral in Budapest.
“Prophetic receptivity is about learning how to recognise the signs of God in the world around us, including places and situations that, while not explicitly Christian, challenge us and call for a response,” the Holy Father said. “At the same time, it is about seeing all things in the light of the Gospel without yielding to worldliness, as heralds and witnesses of the Christian faith.”The second day included a visit with children and adults with visual impairments and other disabilities.
At the end of the visit, the children and residents joined the Pope in praying the Our Father, which they had learned in Latin. They also presented him with a handmade gift: a woven bag in the colours of the Argentinian flag and the Argentinian soccer team.Blessing a Greek Catholic Church Referring to the statue of Elizabeth he had passed in Rózsák Square before he entered the church, the Pope recalled how the saint “not only sold her possessions but also spent her life serving the poor, lepers, and the sick, personally caring for them, even carrying them on her own shoulders. That is the language of charity.”“Thank you, too, for having welcomed — not only with generosity but also with enthusiasm — so many refugees from Ukraine,” he said. More than 1.
“Hilarion is someone I respect very much, and we have always had a good relationship,” the Pope told journalists on Sunday evening as they accompanied him on his flight back to Rome. Pope Francis said this during Holy Mass with tens of thousands of faithful gathered in Kossuth Lajos Square in central Budapest.
Pope Francis reminded the faithful that God calls each of us by our name, desiring “to save us from sin and death, to give us life in abundance and joy without end.” He also spoke about the false freedoms offered by both communism and consumerism, and encouraged people to seek out Christ’s truth.
