During the recitation of the Regina Caeli, Pope Francis, as he usually does every Sunday, asked for prayers for war-torn countries. But he also often recalls joyful events, such as Mother's Day.
POPE FRANCIS
Today in many countries, we celebrate the Feast of the Mother. Let us remember all mothers with gratitude and affection, those who are still among us and those who have gone to heaven. We entrust them to Mary, the mother of Jesus. And a round of applause for them!
Minutes earlier, the Pope reflected on the Gospel of the day, adding special emphasis to the role of the Holy Spirit.
