Pope Francis Expresses Solidarity and Sympathy for Mpox Sufferers and Nicaragua
After leading the Angelus prayer, Pope Francis took a moment to offer his solidarity with those suffering from Mpox (monkeypox), a global health emergency affecting thousands worldwide, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Pope expressed deep concern for the people of Congo, a nation currently facing immense challenges due to the outbreak of the disease.
“I express my sympathy to the local Churches in the countries most affected by this disease and I encourage governments and private industries to share available technology and treatments so that no one lacks adequate medical care.”
Words of Encouragement for Nicaragua
In addition to his thoughts on Mpox, Pope Francis also shared words of encouragement for the people of Nicaragua, urging them to seek strength and renewal in Jesus during difficult times.
“Remember that the Holy Spirit always guides history towards higher projects. May the Immaculate Virgin protect you in times of trial and help you feel her motherly tenderness. May Our Lady accompany the beloved people of Nicaragua.”
As we reflect on the Pope’s messages of solidarity and hope, let us also remember to keep those affected by Mpox and the people of Nicaragua in our thoughts and prayers.
