Pope Francis wrote the comment “O Francis of Assisi, intercede for peace
in our hearts'' on a website after watching the live webcam the
Conventual Franciscans have set up at the tomb of St. Francis.
The pope sent the prayer, via a tablet, on the site sanfrancesco.org.
The
Pope posted the comment after meeting on Thursday morning with the
Minister General of the Friars Minor Conventual, Father Marco Tasca, the
guardian of the Sacred Convent of Assisi, Father Mauro Gambetti, and
the editor of the magazine “Francesco Patrono d'Italia”, Father Enzo
Fortunato.
