Pope Francis Meets Thousands of Children at the Vatican: A Message of Hope and Learning

In a heartwarming and insightful event titled "Children Meet the Pope," Pope Francis welcomed over 7,000 children from 84 countries at the Vatican. This remarkable gathering coincided with the release of "The Children's Encyclical," to which the Pope contributed a heartfelt preface. During the event, Pope Francis emphasized the unique lessons adults can learn from children, highlighting their innate wisdom and perspective. Addressing serious global issues, the Pope focused on the impact of war on children and the urgent need to protect young lives from conflict. The children, in turn, engaged the Pope with pressing questions, particularly on the climate crisis, echoing his call for environmental stewardship.
