In life, there are mistakes that we clerics make, with our sins, injustice or sometimes ill-treatment of persons…we beg for these bad examples.”
His Holiness Pope Francis concluded his remarks by reminding the gatherings that Christmas is a good time to be at peace with ourselves by making a good confession because we are all sinners and he also wished “Merry Christmas” to all.
