(ANSA) - VATICAN CITY, APRIL 3 - "It is a difficult time for everyone. For many, very difficult. The Pope knows it and, in words, he wants to tell everyone his closeness and affection": Francesco says in a video message to Italian and world families. The Pope invites everyone to hope because "hope does not disappoint". A new gesture by the pontiff to consult those who see life turned upside down: he decides to 'enter' the houses with a video. The thought is for the sick but also for the "everyday heroes", the doctors and health professionals who they hire. But the pontiff's gaze is also for those who find themselves in "financial straits and are worried about the work and the future", for the homeless, for prisoners.
"Tonight I have the opportunity to enter your homes - Pope Francis says - in a different way than usual". And Holy Week that leads to Easter and "hope for a better time, in which to be the best of us, finally freed from evil and this pandemic will also be" truly unusual ".
