VATICANO (ACI Prensa) - Al finalizar la homilia en la Misa por los migrantes celebrada en la Basilica de San Pedro del Vaticano este viernes 6 de julio con motivo del quinto aniversario de la visita del Santo Padre a la isla de Lampedusa, el Santo Padre quiso dirigir unas palabras a los socorristas y a algunos de los migrantes y refugiados rescatados por ellos.
A los socorristas expreso "mi agradecimiento por encarnar hoy la parabola del Buen Samaritano, quien se detuvo a salvar la vida del pobre hombre golpeado por los bandidos, sin preguntarle cual era su procedencia, sus razones de viaje o sus documentos, simplemente decidio hacerse cargo y salvar su vida".
Por su parte, a los rescatados quiso "reiterar mi solidaridad y aliento, ya que conozco bien las tragedias de las que estan escapando. Les pido que sigan siendo testigos de la esperanza en un mundo cada dia mas preocupado por su presente, con muy poca vision de futuro y reacio a compartir, y que con su respeto por la cultura y las leyes del pais que los acoge, elaboren conjuntamente el camino de la integracion".
