- Pope Francis sent a letter to former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in which he encouraged him not to lose his spirits and affirmed that, “in the end, good will triumph over evil, the truth will prevail the lies and salvation will overcome condemnation.” The Pope also expressed his “spiritual closeness” during the “hard tests” that Lula has been submitted to. The text is a response to a letter sent by the former President to the Pope in March. Read the whole letter here: https://pt.org.br/papa-envia-carta-a-lula-no-fim-a-verdade-vencera-a-mentira/
