Pope Francis thanks ‘magnificient welcome’ in Rio

popePope Francis one more time used his Twitter account to speak to his followers and expressed “thank you to all of you and to all the authorities for a magnificent welcome in Rio.”

Yesterday, after he arrived in Rio de Janeiro to preside the World Youth Day, he tweeted: “Today we begin a wonderful week in Rio; may it be a time to deepen our friendship in Jesus Christ.”

Pope Francis arrived in Brazil on his first foreign trip as pontiff and was swarmed by well-wishers as he drove into Rio de Janeiro, where more than one million people are expected to gather to see the first Latin American to head the Roman Catholic Church.
