CWN Editor's Note: In an Italian-language message to pilgrims from the Diocese of Rieti who were in Rome for the 2025 jubilee year, Pope Francis encouraged the pilgrims to “be witnesses of hope every day in the different ecclesial and existential environments in which you live,” and “to contribute to the building of a more fraternal and supportive world.”

The Pope expressed hope that the pilgrimage “will strengthen your faith and help you to understand and welcome more and more the love of God, source and reason for true joy. We are called especially to bear witness to this love to the weakest and neediest people—a love which, like a living flame, gives strength to the journey of life.”
