VATICAN CITY (CNS) The Weeping Madonna of Syracuse is a sign that Mary not only cries because of people's pain, but she also cries to soften the hearts of other believers so that they will help, Pope Francis said. "Through the tears of the Blessed Virgin, the Lord wants to soften our hearts, which at times have dried up in indifference and hardened in selfishness," the pope said April 6 during a meeting with members of the St. Angela Merici Foundation in Syracuse, Italy.
