Newsroom – Vatican City (February 15, 2023, 8:00 PM, Gaudium Press) On March 13, Pope Francis will complete ten years of pontificate. As a way to celebrate this anniversary, the Digital Synod has launched a special online map with virtual lit candles representing the prayers of the faithful around the world for the Holy Father.
“The Petrine ministry is a great grace that Jesus has granted to his Church and we should always be grateful for it. Therefore, our prayer should be the best gift, that God may sustain in service the one he has chosen for this ministry, because on this rock he builds his Church in time and history,” a statement said.
