Vatican City (Vatican), 11 February (LaPresse) – "In these days we remember Saints Cyril and Methodius, Apostles of the Slavs and patrons of Europe, fathers of Christianity, of the language and culture of the Slavic peoples. Let us return to their apostolic work – as St. John Paul II urged – in building a new unity on the European continent, to overcome tensions, divisions and antagonisms – both religious and political." Thus Pope Leo XIV greeted Polish-speaking faithful during Wednesday's general audience.
