Vatican City (Agenzia Fides) - At the end of his general audience, held in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis launched the following appeal: "This coming Saturday marks World Refugee Day, promoted by the United Nations. We pray for the many brothers and sisters who seek refuge far from their native lands, who seek a home where they can live without fear: that they might always be respected in their dignity. I encourage the work of those who bring help to those in need, and it is my hope that the international community should act in a fitting and effective way to prevent the causes of forced migration.
And I invite everyone to ask forgiveness for those persons and institutions that close the doors on these people who are searching for family, that are searching for safety". (SL) (Agenzia Fides 17/06/2015)
