Weekends do not mean slower schedules for the Vatican. Pope Francis continues to hold both political and pastoral meetings.
For example, he received the new ambassadors of Ethiopia, Zambia, Tanzania, Burundi, Qatar and Mauritania. And also…
The Pope also met with the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, who came to visit him at the Apostolic Palace.
On a more pastoral level, he welcomed the participants of the fourth edition of the International Choir Meeting in the Paul VI Audience Hall of the Vatican.
And, of course, they welcomed him with music.
POPE FRANCIS
You are custodians of a centuries-old treasure of art, beauty and spirituality. Do not let the mentality of the world pollute it.
These audiences come after the 87-year-old Pope held two public meetings and 27 official meetings or semi-public events during the week before.
