Pope Sends Passover Greetings to Jewish Community of Rome

“The memory of the liberation from oppression by the strong arm of the Lord inspires thoughts of mercy, reconciliation and fraternal closeness to all those who suffer under the weight of new [forms of ] slavery,” the message to Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni stated.

“Turning our thoughts to Jerusalem, which I will have the joy of visiting in the near future, I ask you to accompany me with your prayers while I assure you of my thoughts and invoke abundant blessings,” the telegram concluded.
