Let us pray that Christian communities, especially those who are persecuted, feel that they are close to Christ and have their rights respected.

Pope Francis – March 2019

It might be hard for us to believe, but there are more martyrs today than in the first centuries.
They are persecuted because they speak the truth and proclaim Jesus Christ to this society.
This happens particularly where religious freedom is not yet guaranteed.
However, it also happens in countries where, in theory and on paper, they protect freedom and human rights.
Let us pray that Christian communities, especially those who are persecuted, feel that they are close to Christ and have their rights respected.


 

 

 

Recemos para que las comunidades cristianas, en especial aquellas que son perseguidas, sientan la cercanía de Cristo y tengan sus derechos reconocidos.

Papa Francisco – Marzo 2019

Quizás nos cueste creerlo, pero hoy hay más mártires que en los primeros siglos.
Son perseguidos porque a esta sociedad, le dicen la verdad y anuncian a Jesucristo.
Esto sucede especialmente allí donde la libertad religiosa todavía no está garantizada.
Pero también en países que en la teoría y en los papeles tutelan la libertad y los derechos humanos.
Recemos para que las comunidades cristianas, en especial aquellas que son perseguidas, sientan la cercanía de Cristo y tengan sus derechos reconocidos.
