Vatican
City, 4 December 2013 (VIS) – After today's catechesis, the Pope
appealed to all present to pray for the nuns of the Greek Orthodox
monastery of Santa Tecla and the Christian people of Maaloula, Syria,
forcibly abducted by armed men two days ago and whose whereabouts are
now unknown.
“Let
us pray for these nuns, for these sisters”, he asked, “and for
all those who have been kidnapped as a result of the current
conflict. Let us continue to pray and act for peace together. Let us
pray to the Virgin”.
