Pope Francis was discharged on the morning of this Friday, June 16, the day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, after his postoperative period for abdominal surgery, and in his account at Twitter He referred to said celebration with a special yearning.
“On this feast and in this month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us ask the Lord to make our hearts similar to his, and to be his instruments so that he can ‘spend doing good’ for everyone.”
Upon leaving the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, after nine days of hospitalization, the Pope also responded to a journalist who asked him about the death of migrants in a shipwreck that occurred in the Aegean Sea, in Greece, on Wednesday. Faced with this, he expressed: “I feel a lot, a lot of pain.”
The message was reiterated by the Pope in Twitter: “I feel great pain for the death of migrants, including many children, in the shipwreck that occurred in the Aegean Sea. We must do everything possible so that migrants fleeing war and poverty do not find death while they search for a future of hope”.
The Pontiff had already referred to this sad event in a telegram of condolences sent on Thursday, June 15, on his behalf by Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State. In it he expressed that he was “deeply shocked” by this “devastating loss of human life” and offered his prayers for all the victims.
