Pope Francis has sent a prayer message to the congregation celebrating 100 years since the miraculous image of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary was installed at the Marian pilgrimage center in Pompeii, Italy.
Mr. Jinu Thekketalakkal, Vatican City
Pope Francis begins his message by sharing his great joy to participate spiritually in these celebrations, joining all those who arrive at the pilgrimage site of Our Lady of Pompeii to comfort and find hope in the presence of the Holy Mother. The Pope wrote that Bartolo Longo exhorted him to spread the devotion of the Rosary, if he wanted salvation, then this place of pilgrimage came first, and it was the spiritual vision of the promise and the mountain that was upon him.
The Pope confirmed that this call made him an apostle of the Rosary and one of the most prominent figures of Marian theology in the following years. The Pope said that there is a close connection between the painting jubilee of Our Lady of Pompey and the coming Jubilee year based on Jesus, our hope, and with the seventeenth century Council of Nicaea (325), which gave special importance to the divine-. the human mystery of Christ in the light of the Trinity. The Pope also wants the rosary to be rediscovered, a simple tool that is accessible to all, to absorb the spirituality of the life of Jesus the Savior and reflect on it through the vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Pope wrote that the rosary is very helpful in building peace and that reciting the rosary is an unceasing act of love. The Holy Father noted in particular that the rosary is also a source of comfort for the sick and suffering. The Pope said that the rosary is also a chain of love that becomes an embrace for orphans and children of prisoners, so praying the rosary must be essential in works of mercy. He also wanted the Lord to speak again through Mother Pompey’s message to humanity that needs to rediscover the path of unity and brotherhood.
