“How the world would change if we convinced ourselves internally that each of the little ones we meet are a reflection of the face of God. If we saw in the suffering of each child, of each vulnerable person, a trace printed on the veil with which Veronica wiped the face of Christ,” the Pope highlighted.
The fight against the scourge of abuse
“You, I know well, try to work and apply increasingly appropriate methods to eradicate the scourge of abuse, both in the Church and in the world. And we must not forget this: the abuses that have hit the Church are nothing more than a pale reflection of a sad reality that encompasses all of humanity, and to which the necessary attention is not paid. Some may say: ‘ah, there aren’t that many, then’. If it were just one, it would already be scandalous, just one, and there are more than one,” Francisco continued.
