Pope Francis will become the first pope to visit Mongolia when he travels to the Asian country’s capital Ulaanbaatar from Aug. 31 to Sept. 4. Marengo recalled how a French Catholic missionary who visited what is today Mongolia at the end of the 19th century saw the succession of Buddhist monasteries in Mongolia and said: “‘One day this country will have to have a Catholic monastery here.’”
“And this is one of the prayers that we ask for that one day we will also have a Catholic monastery where Catholic contemplative prayer is seen, is experienced, is offered. And I think it will make a difference in the evangelization,” he said.Marengo, who at 49 is the world’s youngest cardinal, took painstaking efforts to immerse himself in Mongolian culture, including years of intensive language study, before he began his mission.
