Pope Francis meets children with cancer

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis met on Saturday with some sick children, ill with leukemia and various tumours, who came to Rome from Poland.

In the Vatican’s Consistory Hally, the Pope extended a warm greeting to the children gathered there and thanked them for their visit and for their prayers for the Church.

“You do much good for the Church with your suffering, your inexplicable suffering… but God knows … and also with your prayers,” he said.

“And it will be a pleasure for me to greet each one of you,” he said, prior to giving them his blessing.
