ROME: Pope Francis used his Christmas message on Friday to call for solidarity with migrants while praising those who shelter them.
May God repay all those, both individuals and states, who generously work to provide assistance and welcome to the numerous migrants and refugees, Francis said after a year that saw more than one million migrants reach Europe.
He called for encouragement… to all those fleeing extreme poverty or war, travelling all too often in inhumane conditions and not infrequently at the risk of their lives.
Francis praised those who are helping migrants to build a dignified future for themselves and for their dear ones, and to be integrated in the societies which receive them.
