Pope Francis embraces one of 6,000 guests to the Vatican for the Jubilee for Socially Excluded Persons – the final Jubilee audience for the Year of Mercy.
“God , Father of us all, of every one of Your children, I ask You to give us strength, to give us joy, to teach us to dream so as to look ahead, to teach us to be fraternal because we are brothers, and to help us to defend our dignity. You are the Father of every one of us. Bless us, Father. Amen”.
Pope Francis’ prayer at the Jubilee for Socially Excluded Persons – November 11, 2016
“I would like to stress the importance of inclusion. God’s mercy, which excludes no one, challenges us to be merciful and open to the needs of others, especially the poor and all those who are weary and burdened.”
