There was a bit of hope for people who gathered to pray for the health of Pope Francis in Saint Peter’s Square this evening as a recording of his voice was played just before the Rosary which he had recorded on the same day.

Very important but utterly devastating story about the cruel realities of refugee policies on a family and a little boy's life.
A yr ago, I met Wissam, a child refugee with complex disabilities living in a rubbish dump in Calais. His Syrian family were trying to reach UK specialists.
There are no longer any safe routes for children like him.
A few days ago, he died after crossing the channel.
