Pope Francis led thousands of pilgrims in prayer for a Spanish missionary sister killed in Central African Republic.
While greeting French pilgrims attending his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square May 22, the Pope said he was saddened to hear of the brutal murder of Daughter of Jesus Sister Inés Nieves Sancho, a 77-year-old Spanish missionary who was killed May 20 outside her convent in Nola, Central African Republic.
Sister Nieves, the Pope said, before bowing his head in silence, "was yet another woman who gave her life for Jesus in the service of the poor."
