Pope Francis urges Roman Catholics to care for migrants
Vatican City, Dec 25 (IBNS): Addressing millions who have gathered at the Vatican on Christmas Eve, Pope Francis urged them to care for the migrants.
"So many other footsteps are hidden in the footsteps of Joseph and Mary," he said.
Pope Francis, 81, who hails from Argentina, is the grandson of Italian migrants.
"We see the tracks of millions of persons who do not choose to go away but, driven from their land, leave behind their dear ones," he told the gatherers.
