''From this city, marked in the course of history by so much suffering and bloodshed, I ask almighty God to have mercy on the sins committed against humanity, human dignity and freedom, also by the children of the Catholic Church, and to foster in all the desire for mutual forgiveness,'' the pope said during the mass at the monastery.
«Iz ovog grada čija je istorija obeležena velikim patnjama i krvoprolićem, molim svemogućeg Boga da ima milosti prema gresima počinjenim protiv čovečnosti, ljudskog dostojanstva i slobode, počinjenim i od strane dece Katoličke crkve i da u svima podstakne želju za prastanjem», rekao je papa tokom mise ispred samostana Petrićevac.
