“Your journey through life is a bit difficult, dear
children, because you have to be cured, overcome the disease or live with the
disease, which is not easy,” the Pope said speaking to the sick children
off-hand in Italian, with the help of interpreters.
Winning
The Pope pointed out that they have many friends who help
them a lot such as their family who help them move forward. “There is no
difficulty in life that cannot be won,” he stressed, adding that winning is
different for each person according to one’s own way. But the important
thing is winning, the horizon that makes one move forward. “Don’t be
discouraged,” he urged.
Guardian angel
The Holy Father also reminded them that the Lord has
assigned to each one a guardian angel to help us in life. “Get used to
talking to your angel, so that he may guard you, inspire you, and lead you
always to victory in life,” he told the sick children.
Turning to the caregivers, the Pope thanked them for taking
care of these children, helping them to grow.
In a lighter mood, he told the children how important they
were, because they needed two interpreters in order to listen and talk to the
Pope.
The Holy Father recited the “Hail Mary” prayer with the
children before blessing them.
