I am very happy to celebrate the Eucharist for you and with you, on the feast of your patron, Saint Michael the Archangel. Fifteen of you recently took your oath. This is the moment of prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One trait that stands out in our encounters is precisely this care: it's beautiful to see how you view others not as problems to be solved, but as people to be respected and cared for.<\/em>
Also present at the Mass were the officers' families. The pope personally thanked them for the sacrifices they make and expressed his understanding towards those concerned about the officers\u2019 safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
