HOLY FATHER SPEAKS ABOUT GUARDING THE INNOCENCE OF OUR CHILDREN
“All children should be able to play, study, pray, and grow, in their own families and in an atmosphere of harmony, love, and serenity. It is their right and our duty. A serene childhood allows children to look with confidence towards life and the future. Woe to whomever stifles within them their joyful enthusiasm of hope!” – Pope Francis, St. Peter’s Square, General Audience, 12 June 2013
