Pope Francis addresses congregants through the Holy Mass, at GSP Stadium

Expensive brothers and sisters,

I’m the one who wish to thanks, all of you!

Tomorrow morning, earlier than leaving the nation, I’ll have event to bid farewell to the President of the Republic, however proper now I wish to specific my heartfelt gratitude to everybody for the welcome and affection that you’ve proven me.

Right here in Cyprus, I really feel one thing of that environment typical of the Holy Land, the place antiquity and the number of Christian traditions enrich each pilgrim. That is good for me, and it is usually encouraging to fulfill communities of believers who reside within the current with hope and openness to the long run, and who share this better imaginative and prescient with these most in want. I feel particularly of the migrants searching for a greater life, with whom, along with my brothers and sisters of varied Christian confessions, I’ll have my closing assembly on this island.

My thanks go to all those that helped to prepare this go to! Please pray for me. Might the Lord bless you and Our Woman defend you.  Efcharistó! [Thank you!]
