Addressing priests and religious during his visit to Kuwait, the Secretary of State of His Holiness said that “the Lord does not look for perfect priests, but for humble hearts.”
In an address yesterday in Holy Family Co-Cathedral, Cardinal Pietro Parolin encouraged priests in the officially Muslim nation to be “priests of love, not of perfection; priests who are joyful because we know we are chosen and loved by the Lord.”
Cardinal Parolin encouraged priests and religious to be “prophets of peace and unity,” adding, “You have the mission of making visible true fraternity and unity in Christ.”
The Holy See and Kuwait also issued a joint statement yesterday in which Kuwait affirmed its commitment to peaceful coexistence among religions.
