Today Pope Francis described the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, with whom he will meet for the first time in Cuba on February 12th, as "his dear brother."
In his speech to believers who came to St. Peter's Square in the Vatican to hear the traditional Sunday Angelus prayer he asked them to support his trip to Mexico, which will begin in a few days, as well as meeting with Patriarch Kirill in Havana, with prayers.
