AFRICA/KENYA - Bishops of Kenya: "everything is ready to welcome Pope Francis"

Nairobi (Agenzia Fides) - "We are ready to welcome Pope Francis in Kenya", say the Bishops of Kenya in their message dedicated to the Holy Father's visit. "For the past few weeks, many of you have joined us in making preparations for the much anticipated Apostolic Trip by Pope Francis to our beloved Country Kenya and the African Continent", reads the message, sent to Agenzia Fides. "Today, dear Brothers and Sisters, we are pleased to announce that all the teams working towards a successful visit have confirmed that they are ready".
The Bishops recall the message of peace and reconciliation brought by Pope Francis and their commitment "to commune with persons of all religions and of all social status, rich or poor. Indeed the Holy Father's message of reconciliation, forgiveness and peace will begin with the ecumenical meeting on the morning of 26th November at the Nunciature in Nairobi, with leaders of Christian mainstream and evangelical churches, Muslims, Hindus and traditional religions".
Many believers will come from various parts of the Country and for this reason the Bishops make a special request to remain in the spirit of caring for one another.
In thanking the government of President Uhuru Kenyatta for the efforts made to prepare for the papal visit, the Bishops' Conference "welcomes the efforts to tackle corruption and declare it a sin and a threat to national security". (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 25/11/2015)
