Pope's quotes: Let us pray

A quote from Pope Francis:

"Let us pray for all the 'Jesuses' today in the world: the hungry, the thirsty, the doubtful, the sick, those who are alone, those who feel the weight of many doubts and crimes. They suffer so much… Let us pray for the many children who are sick, who are innocent, who carry a child's cross. And let us pray for the many men and women being tortured today in various countries of the world; for the prisoners all piled together, as if they were animals. What I am saying to you is a little sad, but it is the truth. But it is also true that Jesus carried all these things upon Himself. Our sin too."

-- Address in Krakow, Poland, July 30, 2016
