“God is one: our cultures have taught us to call him by one name, by another, and to find him in different ways, but he is the same father of all of us,” Pope Francis said. “He is one.”
“And all religions, all cultures, look at the one God in different ways.”
“Please do not forget, please pray for me and not against me,” he added.

Francis concluded his remarks with the blessing.
“Now I would like to give you the blessing, but I will give it in silence, so everyone receives it from God in the way they believe. A minute of silence, and I give my blessing to all of you,” he said.
