Pope leaves Kenyans with a message of encouragement and hope
2015-11-27 Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis has concluded the first leg of his Apostolic Journey to Africa, travelling from Kenya to Uganda on Friday afternoon
. The Holy Father will conclude his first visit to Africa with a stop in the Central African Republic, where he will arrive Sunday evening before returning to Rome the next day.
Vatican Radio’s Linda Bordoni was in Kenya with the Holy Father. She sent this wrap-up of the Pope’s visit:
What will we remember most of Pope Francis’ visit after his farewell to the Kenyan people at Nairobi airport?
Of course his repeated appeals to authorities and policy-makers to bridge the gap between rich and poor, to protect African women and to nurture the youth, his urgent call to step up the war on climate change, his plea for unity between different faiths in the fight against terrorism.
But more than that, Kenyans say they will remember how his words and his gestures touched them personally and individually.
That’s because, for whom he is and in virtue of his very special human touch, Pope Francis never spoke to the people from a pedestal; he listened to what they were saying and responded with the understanding and sensitivity of a person who really cares for the life and the story of each individual.

Pope: address to diplomats and Ugandan authorities
27/11/2015 14:36
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis on Friday addressed diplomats and leading figures from Uganda society and encouraged them to “ensure good and transparent governance, integral human development and a wide and just distribution” of Africa’s goods
. Referring to Uganda’s famous martyrs, the Pope said they were a reminder of “the importance that faith, moral rectitude and commitment to the common good have played and continue to play” in the life of the nation. In his address, Pope Francis praised Uganda’s “outstanding concern” for welcoming refugees and said how we deal with them “is a test of our humanity.”
Please find below the full text of Pope Francis’ remarks to diplomats and the Ugandan authorities delivered at the State House of Entebbe:
Mr President,
Honourable Members of Government,
Distinguished Members of the Diplomatic Corps,
My Brother Bishops,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I thank you for your gracious welcome, and I am happy to be in Uganda. My visit to your country is meant above all to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the canonization of the Uganda Martyrs by my predecessor, Pope Paul VI. But I hope that my presence here will also be seen as a sign of friendship, esteem and encouragement for all the people of this great nation.

Pope Francis addresses catechists and teachers
2015-11-27 Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis on Friday met catechists and teachers at the Munyonyo shrine situated some 40 kilometres south of the Uganda capital, Kampala
. In his brief address to the gathering, he encouraged them to persevere in their “rewarding” but “not easy” work and be not just teachers but also "a witness" through their example.
Please find below an English translation of the Pope’s prepared remarks to the catechists and teachers:
Greeting to Catechists
Kampala, Munyonyo
Friday, 27 November 2015
Dear Catechists and Teachers, Dear Friends,
I greet you with affection in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Teacher.
“Teacher!” What a beautiful name this is! Jesus is our first and greatest teacher. Saint Paul tells us that Jesus gave his Church not only apostles and pastors, but also teachers, to build up the whole body in faith and love. Together with the bishops, priests and deacons who are ordained to preach the Gospel and care for the Lord’s flock, you, as catechists, play an outstanding part in bringing the Good News to every village and homestead in your country.

Pope praises “ecumenism of blood” of Anglican and Catholic martyrs in Uganda
28 November 2015 07:49 by Christopher Lamb in Kampala
During his visit to Uganda Pope Francis this morning went to the shrine of the Anglican martyrs who he later described as witnesses to an “ecumenism of blood
.”
23 Anglicans and 22 Catholics were killed under the orders of King Mwanga II at the end of the nineteenth century. They were some of the first Christians of the country with the faith being brought to the country by missionaries from both churches.
Pope Francis made a brief visit this morning to the Anglican shrine in Namugongo which is the place of martyrdom of 25 of those killed.
He then went to the national Catholic shrine nearby to say Mass where he was greeted by a crowd of thousands enthusiastically singing and dancing.
During his homily the Pope said of both sets of martyrs: “All these witnesses nurtured the gift of the Holy Spirit in their lives an freely gave testimony of the faith in Jesus Christ, even at the cost of their lives, many at such a young age.”
The phrase “ecumenism of blood” has been used by the Pope before describing Christians of different denominations killed for their faith in the Middle East.
Many of the Catholic martyrs were young pages of King Mwanga and were killed for their refusal to accept his homosexual advances.
During a briefing with journalists last night the Bishop of Lira, Giuseppe Franzelli, a Comboni missionary, said the issue of homosexuality was “still an issue” in Uganda.

Honor your martyrs by putting faith into action, pope tells Ugandans
By Cindy Wooden Catholic News Service

KAMPALA, Uganda (CNS) --
As Pope Francis encouraged Ugandan Christians to draw inspiration from the 19th-century Ugandan Martyrs, he carried with him graphic images of the horrors the 45 Anglican and Catholic martyrs endured
.
The pope made an early morning visit Nov. 28 to the Anglican shrine and museum located on the site where many of the martyrs died. The main exhibit features realistic statues of men being tortured, bound and thrown on a fire.
Pope Francis had a look of shock on his face as Anglican Archbishop Stanley Ntagali of Uganda explained how the martyrs were executed on the orders of King Mwanga II in the late 1800s.
Afterward, the pope celebrated a Mass outside the nearby Catholic shrine to the martyrs. The shrine has an artificial lake, and Ugandan security patrolled it in a little rubber boat throughout the liturgy.

Kampala, Uganda, Nov 28, 2015 / 12:52 am
(CNA/EWTN News).-
Marking his first full day in Uganda with Mass to celebrate the nation’s martyrs, Pope Francis said the call to be missionary disciples falls on all of us, whether at home or abroad, with our families or among our enemies
.
“Like the Apostles and the Uganda martyrs before us, we have received the gift of the Holy Spirit to become missionary disciples called to go forth and bring the Gospel to all,” the Pope said Nov. 28, presiding over Mass at the Catholic Shrine of the Martyrs of Namugongo.
“If, like the martyrs, we daily fan into flame the gift of the Spirit who dwells in our hearts, then we will surely become the missionary disciples which Christ calls us to be.”

Pope to young: Jesus can transform walls into a path
2015-11-28 Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis on Saturday encouraged young people in Uganda to turn negative experiences into positive ones with the help of Jesus and his grace. In an address where the Pope put aside his prepared remarks and spoke off-the-cuff in Spanish, he urged the young people to open the door of their hearts to Jesus
. More than 150,000 cheering and dancing young people had gathered at an airstrip near Kampala to hear the Pope and gave him a rousing welcome when he arrived in his Popemobile. Before speaking to the crowd, the Pope listened to testimony from two young people, Emmanuel and Winnie, both of whom had faced many negative events in their lives.

Pope visits poor and sick at Kampala's House of Charity
2015-11-28 Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio)
During his stay in the Ugandan capital on Saturday Pope Francis visited a home for the sick, the disabled and down-and-outs run by the Good Samaritan sisters
. Before greeting residents and staff at the centre, the Pope visited the tomb of the first Ugandan Cardinal Emmanuel Nsubuga who founded the home in 1978 and was buried in the grounds there.
Pope Francis began his visit to the House of Charity in Nalukolongo by stopping for a few moments of prayer in the chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Africa. He was then accompanied by the Good Samaritan sisters to the tomb of the former Cardinal Emmanuel Nsubuga, who set up the centre and was renowned for his outspoken condemnation of human rights violations during the reign of former dictator Idi Amin. He was also instrumental in organising the first visit of a Roman pontiff to Uganda, helping to coordinate Pope Paul VI’s three day journey to the newly independent nation in the summer of 1969.
Today the House of Charity cares for about a hundred people of all ages and different religious backgrounds, from Uganda as well as from the neighbouring countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi . The youngest patient being cared for by the sisters is an eleven year old child, while the oldest is a man aged 102.

Pope to Ugandan religious, seminarians: 'Memory, fidelity, prayer'
2015-11-28 Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio)
The final event on Pope Francis’ agenda on Saturday was a meeting with priest, religious, and seminarians in Kampala cathedral
. Putting aside his prepared text, Pope Francis spoke off the cuff in his native Spanish, highlighting three essential points for the clergy - memory, fidelity, prayer - and seeking to strengthen the Christian faith in their country.
Firstly, he told them to keep alive the testimony of the Ugandan martyrs, not allowing themselves to become too comfortable with superficial memories of the past, but continuing to be authentic witnesses to the faith today.
Secondly, the Pope urged the priests and religious to remain faithful, following the way of holiness of the martyrs and being good missionaries. Noting that there are dioceses in the country that have many clergy and others that have very few, the Pope said fidelity means having a diocesan bishop who is generous in offering priests to a neighbouring diocese that is in need.
Thirdly, Pope Francis stressed that fidelity is only possible through prayer. If a priest or religious stops praying because he or she has too much work, he said, then they begin to lose their memory and their fidelity. Prayer means constantly confessing our sins, the Pope concluded, not leading a double life but asking for forgiveness and for the strength to keep the missionary spirit alive.

Pope Francis arrives in the Central African Republic
2015-11-29 Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis arrived in the Central African Republic on the morning of Sunday 29th of November on the last leg of his Apostolic journey to Africa, his 11th abroad. A journey which marks his first to this continent and which has taken him to Kenya and Uganda
.
In the Central African Republic’s capital Bangui, Pope Francis will accomplish an historic gesture by opening the Holy Door of the cathedral in this city nine days before the inauguration of the Jubilee of Mercy on the 8th of December in the Vatican.
A symbolic gesture given the nation’s gruesome reality of ethnic and religious violence over the past two years which has pitted the majority Muslim Séléka forces against the majority Christian anti- Balaka forces. A situation which led to tens of thousands of people fleeing into neighbouring countries. And as brutal atrocities were reported on both sides the United Nations warned that there was high risk of the country descending into genocide.

BANGUI, Central African Republic (CNS) --
Despite serious security concerns for Pope Francis and for those who would come to see him, the pope landed in Central African Republic Nov. 29 saying he came as "a pilgrim of peace
."
"Unity in diversity is a constant challenge, one which demands creativity, generosity, self-sacrifice and respect for others," he said, visiting the country where political and ethnic rivalries also have split people along religious lines.
A brief airport arrival ceremony was held amid tight security provided by the Central Africans, France, the United Nations, U.N. peacekeepers, extra Vatican police and even some U.S. security officers dressed in dark suits.
Pope Francis and his entourage followed Catherine Samba-Panza, the country's interim president, in a convoy to the presidential palace about five miles away.
The highway was lined with tens of thousands of people, many of whom waved palm or other tree branches. In addition to armed forces doing crowd control, armored U.N. vehicles were parked at almost every intersection.

Pope to displaced persons: peace is impossible without tolerance, forgiveness

Bangui, Central African Republic, Nov 29, 2015 / 08:12 am
(CNA/EWTN News).-
Pope Francis’ first stop after arriving in the Central African Republic Sunday was to a refugee camp housing thousands of persons displaced by the country’s ongoing conflict
.
Upon his arrival at the camp Nov. 29, the Pope was greeted by children living there, who held up signs displaying words such as “peace,” “love,” “unity,” and “pardon.”
After greeting the children, Francis made his way through the camp before speaking briefly off-the-cuff to its inhabitants.
“I saw what the children have written (on the signs),” he said, explaining that “we must work and pray; do everything (possible) for peace.”
However, he cautioned that “peace without love, without friendship, without tolerance, without forgiveness, isn't possible. Each one of us must do something.”
The Pope then expressed his desire that all Central Africans would have “great peace among you … regardless of ethnicity, culture, religion, or social status.”
Located at the parish of St. Sauveur in Bangui, the camp is home to 1,000-2,000 people displaced by violence and conflict.
