Pope must protect all of God’s people especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important – says Francis.

Let us keep a place for Christ in our lives, let us care for one another and let us be loving custodians of creation.

True power is service. The Pope must serve all people, especially the poor, the weak, the vulnerable.
