Rome
is one of the most visited cities in the world. Its architecture, art
and ancient history make it one of the places to visit at least once
in life.
The
Vatican and St. Peter's Square are one of the great attractions for
visitors, as well as being able to see Pope Francisco, a magnet of
masses. Even for the younger people, like this group of students from
Valencia, Spain, seeing Pope Francis means fulfilling a dream.

'We
came here with the school, we've had four days here and everything is
super good. We love Rome; it's beautiful and we just left the Vatican
from the General Audience with the pope and it's awesome.' ;

'It
has been very exciting for me because I am a Christian and to be so
close to the pope, for me... I have been very touched.' ;
Pope
Francis used to give practical advice to the pilgrims. In this way,
the listeners can quickly apply these teachings and messages to their
daily life.
He
also manages to reach a much larger number of people who can easily
identify with his words. These young women are one example of how
Pope Francis' messages can immediately touch people's lives.

St.
Teresa of Avila School (Valencia)
'From
this message, I left understanding that we do not have to create
false ideas but we have to live real life... real. We cannot make
ourselves false idols because in the end you are left with nothing
and the important thing is to live a life of truth.'
INMA
GARCÉS
St.
Teresa of Avila School (Valencia)
'For
we must live a life full of love and hope, believing in God and in
the hope that there will be peace in this world.'
In
addition to the words of the pope, being surrounded by pilgrims from
different parts of the world and the greatness of the Vatican
impacted these three Spanish students. That is why they say they
desire to return to the Eternal City again at some point in their
lives.
