About this sermon
Pope Francis praised the work of a group operating more than a half dozen health facilities in war-torn Syria. The Holy Father met recently with workers from the Open Hospitals initiative which is sponsored primarily by the Vatican and the AVSI Foundation. In his message, the Holy Father said the Catholic Church should always be a place with open doors and one that welcomes inter-religious coexistence. Syria is in the midst of a war that has lasted more than a decade. Secretary General of the AVSI Foundation, Giampaolo Silvestri, joins to tell us more about this audience with the Holy Father and what part of his message was most meaningful to him. Before the audience, there was a press conference with Cardinal Zenari, Apostolic Nuncio to Syria. Silvestri shares more about this project, Open Hospitals, the work they do and how the Vatican is helping. The foundation carries out humanitarian aid projects in more than 30 countries. Silvestri discusses other initiatives that they are working on and what countries they mainly focus on. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
