Greeting of the Holy Father to the faithful
Thank you, thank you! Good morning everyone! Good morning Pompeii!
Thank you for your presence. Soon we will prepare to celebrate Holy Mass , this beautiful encounter with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist: Jesus who always walks with us, close to us. And here in this Shrine, we know well that Mother Mary is always with us, our Mother Mary accompanies us with her intercession, her love, she is always with her children.
With this trust we will pray together and celebrate the joy of being baptized disciples of Jesus Christ, all called to be Christ's presence in the world.
Thank you, thank you. See you soon.
