Pope Francis' congratulatory message to His Beatitude Joan

Pope Francis has sent a message of congratulations to His Beatitude Joan on the day of his Enthronement as Archbishop of Tirana, Durrës and all of Albania.

In his message, the Holy Father also praises the figure of His Beatitude Anastasius, whom he says significantly improved relations between the Church of Albania and the Catholic Church.

Pope Francis in his message hopes that these relations will develop further under the leadership of His Beatitude John.

“ Expressing my spiritual closeness, I assure you of my prayers that God the Father, the source of every good thing, will grant you the abundant gifts of the Holy Spirit as you lead the flock entrusted to your care.

Anastasius distinguished himself with his commitment to the peaceful coexistence of men and women belonging to different churches and religious traditions, and he contributed significantly to improving relations between our churches.

In these difficult times marked by war and violence it is increasingly urgent that Christians give credible witness to unity, so that the world can fully embrace the gospel message of fraternal solidarity and peace.

"It is my heartfelt hope that under your paternal guidance, relations between the Church of Albania and the Catholic Church will develop further, seeking new forms of fruitful cooperation in the proclamation of the Gospel, in the service of those most in need, and renewing our commitment to resolving the issues that still divide us through a dialogue of charity and truth ," the Pope's message reads./ CNA
