The Pope acknowledged that it is a challenge to form seminarians of varied ages and cultural backgrounds.
He told French rectors who travelled to Rome for the Jubilee.
POPE FRANCIS
Your task is not easy. This is why attention to the journey that each one of them takes, as well as personal accompaniment, are indispensable, now more than ever.
The pontiff insisted that in order to favour vocational discernment it is important that in the seminaries a space of mutual trust is created. He hopes that this will allow the candidates not to act but to be themselves.
