Pope Francis encouraged people to pray for the intercession of the Virgin Mary ‘to help us discover the treasure of life in Jesus.’ He also entrusted to the intercession of Mary ‘populations suffering from war and every form of violence and misery.’
Alongside the virtue of charity, Pope Francis said gratitude and generosity are essential qualities that enable a Christian to grow in the love of God and others.
Bruni added that Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, may read an Angelus message from the pope on Sunday.
The Holy Father said Sept. 6: ‘May the Virgin Mary help us to make fraternal correction a healthy practice.’
