#PopeFrancis at Angelus: "I extend an affectionate greeting to the people of the United States of America, shaken by the recent siege on Congress. I pray for those who lost their lives -- five of them -- in those dramatic moments." 1/3 
"... Nothing is gained by violence & so much is lost. I urge government authorities & the entire population to maintain a high sense of responsibility, in order to soothe tempers, promote national reconciliation & protect the democratic values rooted in American society. 2/3
"May Mary Immaculate, patroness of the United States of America, help keep alive the culture of encounter, the culture of caring, as the way to build together the common good; and may she do so with all who live in that land." 3/3
