Pilgrims at the Pope's Wednesday audiences have breathed new life into the atmosphere at the Vatican, which has been quiet for months due to the pandemic. <\/p>\n
You can see, you can feel...<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS Mexicans too. And Paraguayans.<\/p>\n There is still a long way to go before large crowds return to hear the Pope's Wednesday catechesis.... <\/p>\n ...But the young people who participated in this week's Audience were sure to make themselves heard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 'Francis, brother, you are Mexican too.'<\/p>\n \u201cIt was an unreal experience, super cool.... Very fun.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cYes, not everyone has the opportunity to see the Pope so close.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The Mexican students of a Regnum Christi school in Montreux took advantage of the public Audience to see the Pope up close. They were not disappointed.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were all very excited that he noticed us.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n 'I liked seeing Pope Francis and being at his audience inspired me.'<\/em><\/p>\n 'He talked about not losing faith and continuing to pray despite temptations.' <\/em><\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS It was only the second Audience open to the public in 2021. When a second wave of coronavirus infections hit Italy late last year, the Vatican was forced to move the Pope's audiences online. <\/p>\n Both the Pope and the pilgrims looked overjoyed to see each other face to face once again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Javier Romero<\/p>\n TR: JM<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mat 23, 2021.
