Pope Francis on Sunday told teenagers
to 'make noise' and focus on migrants in his message to
participants in the 50th Adolescents Meeting organised by the
diocese of Verona.
"This morning I had the opportunity to speak to the Pope, who
had just returned from Marseilles," said Verona Bishop Domenico
Pompili.
"Telling him about this meeting of ours, I asked if there was a
message I could pass on to you," continued the bishop,
addressing the nearly 3,800 young people gathered in the Pala
Agsm Aim.
"Tell them to make noise," Pompili cited the pope as saying,
adding that he had also asked for attention to focus on the
theme of migration, given that Sunday is the World Day for
Migrants and Refugees.
Francis reportedly told the bishop to "tell the girls and boys
that this is an epochal problem that must be tackled with great
discipline, making sure that those who can be taken in are
chosen, but also that no one is kicked out and sent back to the
prisons from which all these poor people come".
