During the Angelus that followed the celebration of Holy
Mass this Palm Sunday, Pope Francis recalled that it was also diocesan World

Synod of Bishops on young people which will take place in October and to the
International Day, which will take place in Panama in January 2019.
Mary accompanies new generations on their pilgrimage
of faith
On this journey, he said, “we are accompanied by the example
and intercession of Mary, the young woman of Nazareth whom God has chosen as
the Mother of her Son. She walks with us and guides the new generations on
their pilgrimage of faith and fraternity.”
The Pope continued, “may Mary help us all to live Holy Week
well. From her we learn inner silence, the gaze of the heart, the loving faith
to follow Jesus on the way of the cross, which leads to the joyful light of the
Resurrection.”
Greeting all of the pilgrims from Italy and around the world
who had taken part in the Mass in St Peter’s Square, the Pontiff recalled in
particular the Peruvian community living in Italy. “I remember with gratitude,
he said, my recent trip to Peru.”
