Pope Francis called for unity in the church and rejection of the ideologies "that divide and separate us," as he celebrated Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on the feast Pentecost, the America website reports today (May 23, 2021).
He told believers worldwide that "the Holy Spirit is telling the Church that today is the time for comforting."
In a sign that the situation has improved in Italy since the pandemic struck more than one year ago, for the first time a large congregation od 1,000 believers of many nationalities, wearing masks and respecting social distance, participated in the celebration in the basilica on May 23.
The world-famous Sistine Chapel Choir led the singing in Latin at the joy-filled celebration.
