St. Peter's Square was full of pilgrims as the Pope led the Angelus on Sunday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Pope talked about faith. He explained that Jesus built His Church on St. Peter because his faith was as strong as a rock. The Pope then challenged all Christians with a simple question.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'How is your faith? What's it like? What does the Lord find in our hearts? A firm heart, like a rock, or one that's like sand, doubtful, wary, incredulous?\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then explained that it's a question Jesus asks all Christians, since a Church, he said, \u00a0is built precisely on faith.\u00a0<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'If the Lord finds in our hearts, not necessarily a perfect faith, but a sincere and genuine faith, He also sees in us living rocks on which He can build His community on.\u00e2?\u009d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sunday marked Ukraine's Independence Day. In light of the instability the country is going through, the Pope called for prayers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'We pray for the sons and daughters, who yearn for peace and tranquility, as they're threatened by a situation of tension and conflict that continues unabated, causing so much suffering among the civilian population.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
Towards the end, the Pope also greeted hundreds of youths who made their way to Rome after visiting Assisi. Their yellow t shirts made it easy for the Pope to spot them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
