The Pope remembers the dead migrants: a life jacket on the cross

"Our sloth is a sin!". Pope Francis said this on Thursday when he met a group of refugees who recently arrived from Lesbos with humanitarian corridors, welcomed by the communities of Sant'Egidio and the Holy See, an opportunity to reveal a cross placed in the entrance to the Apostolic Palace from the Belvedere Courtyard in memory of migrants and refugees. The Pope showed the jacket of an anonymous migrant who disappeared in the Mediterranean during the ceremony. "This – said Bergoglio – is the second life jacket that I receive as a gift. The first was given to me a few years ago by a group of rescuers. It belonged to a girl who drowned in the Mediterranean".
