The archbishop also highlighted that Christians cannot lose the “virtue of prayer, of heart-to-heart dialogue with the Lord, personally and communally,” praying prayers such as the Rosary and the Lord’s Prayer, “asking for the world, for the salvation of all of us.”
“The second thing that Our Lady asked us and asks us today is to pray for peace,” in a world hit by war in places like “Ukraine, Russia, the Holy Land, Africa, America, Asia. “How many countries need and demand peace.”
Cardinal Omella also asked for the unity of the Church, for fraternity within it, because “a Church divided, one against another, is not close to the Pope, to Jesus Christ, with all brothers. If we are not united, we will not be able to help and forgive each other, we will not evangelize.”
