Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was called "an angel of peace" by Pope Francis at a meeting on Saturday in the Vatican, ahead of the canonization of two Palestinian nuns, reports the Patria News Agency.
The private audience, during which Abbas and Pope Francis exchanged gifts in a cordial atmosphere, lasted about twenty minutes.
President Abbas is expected to attend the canonization on Sunday morning of Mariam Bawardi (1846-1878), founder of the first Carmelite monastery in Palestine in Bethlehem, and Marie-Alphonsine Ghattas (1843-1927), founder of the Congregation of the Holy Rosary in Jerusalem.
An agreement on the rights of the Catholic Church in Palestinian territory, under negotiation for 15 years, should be signed soon between the Vatican and the "State of Palestine", the Holy See announced on Wednesday. Initial information suggests a possible signing as early as this weekend.
