The Pope gave his traditional final greeting to close today’s general audience in St. Peter’s Square, addressing a special exhortation to these three groups of people.

To youth, he said: “Dear young people always draw from Christ present in the Eucharist the spiritual food to advance along the way of sanctity.”

The Holy Father added: “[F]or you, dear sick people, may Christ be the support and comfort in your trial and suffering; and for you, dear newlyweds, may the sacrament which has rooted you in Christ be the source that nourishes your daily love.”
