WATCH: Pope Francis Giving Medicine to Sick Little Boy

Aleteia - published on 02/15/16

Mexico visit has been full of small moments of beauty

Pope Francis has often talked about the church and how the church is a “hospital for sinners,” whose sacraments offer medicine for the spirit.

Read the pope’s remarks about “kindness therapy” and Our Lady of Guadalupe here.
