Joyful Catholic Pilgrims awaiting Pope Francis' arrival at Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia
The cogent message Pope Francis brought to America can be summarized in excerpts from his homilies on Faith, the beauty of Truth, the beauty of Family (the Church begins in the home), and Love which give us our true freedom and happiness:
'That which gives true freedom and true happiness is the compassionate love of Christ.'

PRAYER FOR POPE FRANCIS AND HIS APOSTOLIC PILGRIMAGE TO AMERICA:
Almighty and Merciful God, Our Father in Heaven, we give thanks for this Apostolic Pilgrimage of Pope Francis to the United States. Protect and Please guide him on this pilgrimage. May the Holy Spirit lead this nation to listen and embrace Pope Francis' ideals of religious freedom, conscience, and dignity of the human person in all stages of life and advance social justice. Lord bless Our Holy Father bountifully and through his deep faith in You and great humility, inspire families in their mission of love, mercy and hope. Through his preaching may the Holy Gospel reach the poor and marginalized and restore their human dignity in America. May God bless Our Holy Father richly and bring forth a mighty renewal of the Catholic Church in America and throughout the world; inspiring the Faithful to true conversion, promoting loving family life, re-awakening the faith of those who have strayed from the Church. We ask this through Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
