‘’We are
waiting to hear what the Holy Father will say, but excited that the Pope is the
voice of Christ and he will speak to the youth, the poor whom he has a soft
spot for, the leaders and the whole nation, surely that is a flood of grace
that will make our country change and will give us the impulse we need to
really change because we need to change as Country.
