Pope Francis Preaching to the Void

Yesterday, Pope Francis preached to an empty piazza in front of Saint Peter's basilica in Rome...

"For weeks it seems that evening has fallen. Dense darkness has thickened on our squares, streets and cities; they took over our lives and we found ourselves afraid and lost, taken aback by an unexpected and furious storm. We realized that we were on the same boat, all fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and necessary, all called to row together."
