CWN Editor's Note: At a January 10 meeting with young cancer patients from Poland, Pope Francis opened his remarks by saying that he was delighted with the opportunity to meet them. He explained:
I felt a joy in my heart because we have the opportunity to give each other hope and love. And there is also another reason: you, dear children and young people, are signs of hope for me. And why? Because I am sure that Jesus is present in you.
Praising the care that the young patients receive at a clinic in Wroclaw, the Pope asked them “to pray together with me for those children—there are many of them, unfortunately—who do not have the chance to be treated.”
