CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis received a delegation of former Israeli hostages who have been freed from captivity in Gaza.

“I felt his sincerity, his care, and that we didn’t come in vain,” one former hostage said after the November 14 meeting. “There is someone listening to us. I hope that his prayers and his message will reach the whole world, because he has an impact on the whole world.”
