Taking advantage of the General Audience, the Pope wanted to extend a "cordial" greeting to the pilgrims present of "Spanish language" that "I see that there are some here," he added. Those present who spoke Spanish cheered the figure of the Pope with a forceful «Long live the Pope!».
The ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas has allowed Christians who are there can find "tranquility" despite their circumstances. Pope Francis explained this Wednesday during the Audience how every day he calls on parish of the Holy Family in Gaza, whose parish priest is the Argentine priest Gabriel Romanelli, and they have assured him that they are "happy" and that after the truce they have been able to eat "lentils with chicken."
