Words of the Holy Father


Good morning! Thank you so much for your company and for your work.
It is an interesting journey, it will make us think and give good news. Thank you very much for your work.

I would like to greet you one by one, but the problem is that I am very sore today and I do not feel up to doing the tour. But it would be a pleasure for me if you would do the round, and I will say goodbye here. Thank you!
