Pope laments poverty in Americas on Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe - Independent Catholic News

Pope laments poverty in Americas on Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe - Independent Catholic News: Pope Francis celebrated Mass last night in St Peter's Basilica for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas. In his homily the Holy Father reflected on how the feast reminds us that we are not orphans, saying Our Lady teaches us to look on our brothers and sisters with her eyes full of love... Our beloved American continent has grown accustomed to seeing thousands and thousands of children and young people on the street, begging and sleeping in train stations or wherever they find space... And they feel that there is no space for them on the 'train of life''.
