(Vatican
Radio) At the General Audience Wednesday, Pope Francis told Arabic
speaking pilgrims and “particularly those from Iraq,” that “like all
mothers,” the Church accompanies her needy children. She “raises up the
fallen child, heals his wounds, seeks the lost… and defends those who
are defenseless and persecuted.” The Pope assured “especially these
last of you, the defenseless and persecuted, that you are in the heart
of the Church; the Church suffers with you and is proud of you; you are
her strength and the concrete and authentic witness of her message of
salvation, of forgiveness and love. I embrace all of you, all of you.
May the Lord bless you and protect you!”(From archive of Vatican Radio)
