“I bear in my heart the incomparable treasure of all those individuals and peoples who have left a mark on me; the faces, smiles and messages that remain with me; the unforgettable stories and natural beauties; the sounds, colors and emotions that touched me deeply.”
The Pope met Friday morning with a delegation of indigenous people present in Quebec at the Archbishop’s Residence.“The vastness of this land makes us think of the lengthy path of healing and reconciliation that we are facing together.”Pope Francis recalled that he came to Canada as a pilgrim and as “a friend in order to meet you and to see, hear, learn, and appreciate how the indigenous peoples of this country live.
The Pope expressed his hopes that his visit may advance the “search for truth” to help in healing and reconciliation, while sowing “seeds of hope” for future generations.As he prepared to depart Canada later on Friday, Pope Francis said he is returning to Rome “greatly enriched” and that he has felt particularly moved by the “indigenous realities of these lands”.
The celebration of the feast of St. Anne was a special highlight, said the Pope, since it offered a reminder to conserve the bond between young and old and “to maintain a healthy and harmonious relationship with all of Creation.”Pope Francis went on to encourage all Canadians—indigenous and non-indigenous alike—to entrust the fruits of his visit to three holy women: St. Anne, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Kateri Tekakwitha.
