As he often does during a General Audience, Pope Francis offered a special greeting on January 15, 2020, for young people, the elderly, the sick and newlyweds.

His greeting came during the morning audience held in Paul VI Hall in the Vatican, where he offered his final catechesis on the Acts of the Apostles and greeted visiting pilgrims from around the world.

«I greet the young people, the elderly, the sick and the newlyweds,» the Pope said. «Open your heart to the needs of the Church and, on the example of Jesus, be close to brothers, building a more just world.»
