Este viernes, el papa Francisco ha llevado a cabo una emocionante jornada de vigilia en el estadio de fútbol de Fátima, en Portugal. Miles de personas han participado en el evento, arropando al Pontífice con la luz de sus velas. Francisco permanecerá en Portugal para participar en el centenario de las apariciones de la Virgen a los pastorcillos y canonizar a dos de ellos, los hermanos Jacinta y Francisco Marto. Antes del rezo del rosario, el Papa dirigió unas palabras a los cientos de miles de fieles y peregrinos congregados en el lugar, y recordó que “si queremos ser cristianos, tenemos que ser marianos”.
