Pope Francis once again left the Vatican. This time for an amusement park in Ostia, a suburb of Rome. Sr. Geneviève Jeanningros, a Little Sister of Jesus, and a group of circus performers met him at Luna Park.
There, the Pope blessed a statue of Our Lady Patroness of the Traveling Show and Circus, before greeting the families and children present. One boy gave the Pope a gift.
Great. Thank you.
Pope Francis also received an image of Mary in front of a ferris wheel before some of the performers put on a little show, even getting him involved.
Thank you for the great show and for your joy and keep going, courage, go always with joy.
Sr. Geneviève has met with Pope Francis on several occasions. The most recent was during a General Audience in June. She is known for bringing different groups with her, including Roma people, travelers and transgender people.
