Francis a gift for Sri Lanka

Pope Francis accepts a gift from Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena during a visit in a presidential office in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Jan. 13.

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - It happened here again, but this time rather unexpectedly. In 1970 and in 1995, when Blessed Paul VI and St. John Paul II visited Sri Lanka, the president who invited them was no longer in office when they arrived. So it was for Pope Francis’ arrival this week, but more dramatically so.
