In an audience filled with thousands of Italians who work in professional training, Pope Francis extended multiple heartfelt thank yous.
The audience was for the National Confederation of Professional Training—an institute that is guided by Catholic values and promotes work that puts people first. The Pope applauded this and encouraged them to continue their empathetic work.
POPE FRANCIS
Do not lose sight of anyone, be attentive to young people, take care of those who have not had opportunities or who come from disadvantaged social situations.
Looking ahead to the future of the institute, the Pope warned the members to carefully approach new technology and understand that it cannot solve all problems. But above all, he placed a special emphasis on the life-changing impact their work can have.
POPE FRANCIS
Because a good vocational education enables one to do a job and, at the same time, to discover the meaning of one's existence in the world and in society.
Before the Pope extended his final blessing, he prayed a Hail Mary together with the group.
