The Pope receives children suffering from cancer from Poland and launches an appeal

Francisco remembered the minors who cannot be cared for

This Friday morning (10), in the Vatican, Pope Francis received a group of child patients from the oncology department of the hospital in Wroclaw, Poland, and launched an appeal on behalf of all minors suffering from cancer.

The meeting, which takes place on the occasion of the pilgrimage to Rome for the Jubilee, is attended by the honorary consul of Luxembourg in Poland, the director of the clinic, doctors, nurses, a priest and all the parents, “pilgrims of hope together with their children” , the religious people report.

“I invite everyone to pray with me for these children – unfortunately there are many – who have no possibility of treatment”, asked the Pontiff, remembering those who cannot be cured.

The leader of the Catholic Church underlined that there are minors who “are sick, injured and have no medicine, no hospital, no doctors or nurses”. “Let’s remember them, we are close to them”, he launched an appeal.

Furthermore, Jorge Bergoglio defined the little ones as “signs of hope”, underlining that “Jesus is present” in all of them and “where He is there is hope that does not disappoint”.

Finally, the Argentine underlined that the little ones will be able to “share joys and sorrows with Jesus”, because “a test of friendship” is when “the joy of the other is also my joy, and the pain of the other is also my pain.”

“But there is also another proof of Jesus’ friendship towards children and it is “the love and constant presence of your parents”, as well as “the kind and tender smile of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists” who treat them and work to improve your health, so that your dreams and hopes do not go to waste”, he concluded.

This is not the first time that Francisco receives a group from the Oncology Clinic in the Polish city of Wroclaw. In 2023, he spoke of the joy of reuniting with children and encouraged all patients, parents, caregivers and professionals to be “apostles of God’s love”, despite the difficulties in the journey of those living with cancer. .
