“I encourage you to work, permeated with God’s love, on the construction of a civilization of love,” said Pope Francis in his greeting to the Polish pilgrims at Wednesday’s General Audience.

We are publishing the full text of the greeting:

I extend my warm greetings to all the Poles. This Friday, we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the centennial of the Polish Nation’s consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, your Bishops will solemnly renew this act. I encourage you to work, permeated with God’s love, on the construction of a civilization of love. I bless you from my heart.
