Dear Sisters and Brothers:
Only a few days are left before my visit to Cuba. Therefore, I wish to send you a fraternal greeting before we meet personally.
Santiago de Cuba.- Pope Francis celebrated Mass early Tuesday morning at the El Cobre Sanctuary in Santiago de Cuba.
Havana.- Pope Francis visited the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, on Sunday, following his Mass delivered in Havana.
Havana.- In his message to the Cuban people during Sunday's mass, Pope Francis said human beings should serve one another and not ideologies. He said: “The importance of the people and nations is measured by the extend to which they are willing and ready to serve others. Those who don't put their lives at the service of others, do not lead lives worth living.”
Camagüey.- Who would have thought that in less than two decades the cayman of the Caribbean Sea would be visited by three Pedro's descendents of the last years? Cuba is a people of deep faith, of a religious tradition that has been constructed from the routine. Then, perhaps for it, it has been visited by St John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and now by Pope Francis.
Havana.- Cuban President Raúl Castro is at the José Martí Revolution Square, attending a mass by visiting Pope Francis.
Havana.- Pope Francis says that the process toward the normalization of relations between Cuba and the United States is an example of reconciliation.
Rome.- Pope Francis met today with Cuban President Raul Castro in a private audience of about 55 minutes held in the halls near the Paul VI room of the Vatican.
