Arrr, me hearties! Pope Francis be callin' the plight o' Sudan a right dreadful mess in his Sunday scroll! Blimey, 'tis the seventh week he’s missed givin' it in person! Couldn’t he find a jolly ship to sail on? Avast, what a scallywag he be!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of Pope Francis, the jolly old seafarer o' faith, who be takin' a time 'o healin' this Lenten season. Aye, he be acknowledgin' that even a holy captain can feel the weight of the storm on his soul and body!For seven Sundays now, the poor bloke's been unable to bless the buccaneers and landlubbers below from his high perch over St. Peter's Square, due to a nasty bout of illness. In a heartfelt proclamation, he urged his flock to embrace this Lent as a time for mendin’ hearts, sayin', "I too am feelin' it, in me soul and me body!" Aye, he be thankin' all those who be lendin' a hand to their fellow sailors with words of kindness and prayers, for frailty be the common ship we all sail upon.
The good Pope also turned his gaze to the troubles in far-off lands, like South Sudan, where the cannon fire be claimin' innocent souls. He be callin' for peace, hopin' the squabblin' parties might put down their swords and find a way to save their brethren.
As he be recoverin' from a troublesome bout of respiratory mischief, his doc proclaimed a grand improvement in his health! So here’s toastin' to the Pope, may he return to full strength, ready to spread goodwill across the seven seas! Yarrr!
