Pope Francis welcomed the faithful to St. Peter's Square, for the first time without using oxygen

International #Pope Francis

Pope Francis greeted and blessed the faithful today at noon, at St. Peter's Square. Franciscus wished "Good Sunday of the Holy Week" to the pilgrims and tightened the hands of priests, nuns and believers from all over the world. The pope was moved by wheelchair and, for the first time, did not use oxygen.

"The passions of Jesus help us to sympathize when we tend our hand to anyone who fails, when we embrace anyone who has lost hope when we raise anyone who has fallen. Sisters and brothers, to live this great miracle of mercy, let's choose how to bring the cross during the Great Week: not on the throat, but to the heart. Not only ours, but also those who suffer, with us. And of that unknown man whose luck- is luck?- made us meet. Let's prepare for Easter, let's become Cyrenees for each other, "Francis emphasized in today's message to the faithful.
