Pope asks Blessed Virgin’s intercession for U.S.

Pope Francis has asked the Immaculate Virgin Mary to help foster a “culture of encounter” in America after the recent violence at the Capitol Building. “I extend an affectionate greeting to the people of the United States of America, shaken by the recent siege of Congress.” The pope’s remarks came after his Angelus address on Sunday.
