Pope writes prayer for God’s pity in guest bookPope Francis visited Auschwitz in silence but left a message in the memorial site’s guest book: “Lord, have pity on your people. Lord, forgive so much cruelty.”He wrote the words in Spanish on Friday, signing the message “Franciscus.”The Vatican said ahead of his visit that his guest book visit was intended to be his only words on the site, because he preferred to commemorate the victims in silence.
