“I follow with deep concern what is happening in Nicaragua, where Bishops and priests have been deprived of their freedom.”
Pope Francis shared his concern for the Latin American nation on Monday as he prayed the Angelus on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
Speaking after the Marian prayer, the Pope expressed his “closeness in prayer to them, their families, and the entire Church in the country.”
He also invited all the people of God to join in “insistent prayer” for Nicaragua.
“I hope that we always seek the path of dialogue to overcome difficulties,” added the Pope.
“Let us pray for Nicaragua today,” he concluded.
