CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis met on July 26 with pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Melbourne who will be attending World Youth Day in Lisbon.
“The main message I want to get across is that the Lord is always by your side—always,” the Pope said as he addressed questions from the Australian youth. “Even in the most difficult moments, he is always with us. He never tires of walking with us!”
“Sometimes, things just happen,” Archbishop Peter Comensoli of Melbourne tweeted. “Our pilgrims in Rome just had an hour with Pope Francis. Just ourselves. Wow.”
