Vatican City, Oct 2, 2021 / 07:35 am
Pope Francis met with people with mental disabilities and their families on Saturday and thanked them for their witness to the Gospel.
“Every person, even and especially the smallest and the most vulnerable, is loved by God and has a place in the Church and in the world,” Pope Francis said in the meeting on Oct. 2.
In an encounter with the French association “Foi et Lumière,” or Faith and Light, the pope said that the group’s message of love and acceptance is at “the heart of the Gospel.”
