Default Flying over the Sahara, pope prays for migrants who die in the desert

Flying over the Sahara, pope prays for migrants who die in the desert

Jan 31, 2023

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE – As Pope Francis passed over the Sahara desert Tuesday en route to a six-day visit to sub-Saharan Africa, he paused to pray for migrants who lose their lives trying to cross the desert in search of a better life.

In remarks aboard his ITA Airways flight, the pope noted that the plane was flying over the Sahara Desert, and asked the some 65 journalists traveling with him to “spare a thought and prayer in silence” for all those migrants who, “seeking a bit of freedom,” left everything they had and “crossed without making it.”
