As part of his 'Mercy Fridays\u00e2?\u009d resolution, Pope Francis visited 'Villagio SOS,\u00e2?\u009d a children's home in Rome for children who have difficult family situations.<\/p>\n
The pope was infected with the children's positive energy, and could not help but smile throughout the entire visit.<\/p>\n
The children, excited about their special guest, took the pope by the hand to show him around the facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The children at the home live in one of the five houses with a handful of other children, and a 'Villaggio SOS\u00e2?\u009d 'mom', that takes care of them and ensures a healthy family environment.<\/p>\n
The pope sat down to share a mid-afternoon snack with the toddlers, consisting of pastries and lots of sweets. One boy even wanted to give the pope a taste of his lollipop.<\/p>\n
'Buono\u00e2?\u009d.<\/p>\n
'Grazie\u00e2?\u009d.<\/p>\n
Pope Francis also greeted the workers and volunteers of the center and he gave them his blessing.<\/p>\n
Before leaving, the Pope Francis wanted to say goodbye to his hosts for the afternoon, and he kissed the children on the head one by one.<\/p>\n
