ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO PILGRIMS FROM EL SALVADOR
Paul VI Audience Hall

in El Salvador and who are full of joy today at seeing one of their children in the
honour of the altars. Its people have a living faith expressed in different forms of
popular religiosity and that shapes their social and family life. However, the
difficulties and the scourge of division and war have not been lacking; violence has
been felt strongly in its recent history. A number of Salvadorans have had to leave
their land looking for a better future. The memory of Saint Óscar Romero is an
exceptional opportunity to send a message of peace and reconciliation to all the
peoples of Latin America. […]
