“If they cry—for the moment they are silent, but it is enough for one to give the note and the concert begins—let them cry; If they are hungry, feed them, quietly, here. If they are hot, take their coats off – sometimes the heat hurts,” he added.

Then, in his brief homily, the Pontiff encouraged parents and godparents to “make their lives helpful to these children; to help them grow and accompany them in their growth, because this is a way to help their faith grow in them. Thank you very much for your testimony, for bringing them here to receive faith.”

After the baptism rite, the Holy Father urged parents and godparents to treasure the symbol of light and look at the candle “in difficult moments.” “This candle takes us to our Christian roots: never extinguish it in your hearts,” he encouraged.
