Official motto of papal visit will be “Peace be With You” officials confirmed
Catholic officials in Bosnia have revealed the first details of the June 6th visit of Pope Francis.
During his visit to the Bosnian capital Francis is scheduled to hold an open air mass and meet political leaders to encourage friendship between different religious groups there. The official motto of the papal visit will be “Peace be With You” officials confirmed.
It will be the first papal trip to Sarajevo in 18 years. Pope John Paul II ignored apparent assassination threats in a historic visit to the war-torn city in 1997, when he urged greater dialogue between Bosniak Muslims, Catholic Croats and Orthodox Serbs.
In his September visit to Albania, the pontiff hailed it as a model of inter-faith harmony because of good relations between its majority Muslim community and its Christian denominations.
