(ANSA) - Vatican City, May 27 - The first brotherhood between
Cain and Abel ended in fratricide and today there are wars
everywhere, Pope Francis said Wednesday.
"The history of the first brotherhood ends with a murder. I'm
thinking today of human fraternity: wars everywhere", Francis
said at his weekly general audience.
"Don't forget this," he urged the faithful.
"The tempter is a bad payer: he pays badly".
The pope also urged the faithful to teach children how to
make the sign of the cross, saying it "is the first prayer".
He added that Friday is the feast of Saint John Paul II and
called on the former pope and saint to help the faithful to
follow the example of the Gospel.
Francis also announced that a final miracle had been approved
and Blessed Charles de Foucauld would become a saint.
