Pope Fran­cis has asked Trinidad and To­ba­go na­tion­als to pray for him as he of­fered a bless­ing to this coun­try.

The bless­ing and re­quest were record­ed by Arch­bish­op Ja­son Gor­don on his cell­phone while at­tend­ing the 6th Syn­od As­sem­bly in Rome.

The video shows Pope Fran­cis be­ing brought in­to the event in a wheel­chair be­fore his brief in­ter­ac­tion with Arch­bish­op Gor­don.

“Trinidad and To­ba­go,” the Pope said, “God bless you, the Fa­ther, the Son and the Holy Spir­it. And pray for me, don’t for­get.”

A pho­to of Arch­bish­op Gor­don’s in­ter­ac­tion with the Pope was post­ed on the An­tilles Epis­co­pal Con­fer­ence’s Face­book page and then shared on the Face­book page of the Arch­dio­cese of Port-of-Spain.
