Holy Father Pope Francis made a special stop in the air-conditioned Paul VI Hall to greet several sick and disabled people before holding his Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter’s Square. The Pontiff gave a warm welcome to the “Deaf Catholic Youth Initiative of the Americas” group and prayed for the spiritual outcome of their pilgrimage to Rome.
As reported by Vatican news, Holy Father Pope Francis remarked that “The Lord reserves a special place in His heart for whoever has a disability, and so does the Successor of Peter.”
His Holiness Pope Francis then bestowed on them his Apostolic Blessing.
