Aboard the flight that is bound for Mozambique, the Holy Father, Pope Francis - as he usually does - took time to meet with journalists who are accompanying him on this papal voyage.
Introduced by a few words from the Director of the Holy See Press Centre, Matteo Bruni, the Pope then offered a few words to the journalists.
Monsignor Mauricio Rueda
Good morning everyone! I am very happy, not to introduce - because you all know him - the new director of the Press Centre, Doctor Matteo Bruni, who has has accompanied us on all the apostolic voyages, but we offer him a warm greeting today as well as our best wishes in this new mission, in this new service to the Church and to the Holy Father. We are all aware of his competences, his generosity to carry out this precious service. Thank you.
Matteo Bruni
Thank you Monsignor Rueda. I thank the Holy Father for his trust in this new position and thank you all for your affection over so many years of working together on these flights and on similar occasions.
Today, Holy Father, we are a community of a little less than 70 journalists, a few of whom are from the countries that we will visit: there are four journalists from Mozambique, one from Madagascar and three from Mauritius. Therefore, good morning to all of you. I will not delay any further, except to thank you for the words that you will offer, those that you will speak and the gestures that will accompany them during these days, and for the pleasure of being your travel companions. Thank you Holy Father!
Pope Francis
Good morning! Thank you for your company, thank you for your help. Let us hope that this voyage will bear fruit, thank you very much. Today, the deaconness is not present (Valentina Alazzakj); this would have been her 153rd trip, I think ... But we have a co-deacon frm Reuters, Pulella: he will take command ... and let us keep going! Thank you very much. But about this deacon, I would like to say that the other day her most recent book about abused women was published - a real gem - to help us understand the pain and suffering endured by women today. We must reflect on this theme. I thank Valentina for this book which she has written; it is so accurate, a good book. Also, I would like to tell you that this is - I believe the 50th - for EFE, Spanish ... where is Cristina Cabrejas? ... Eighty? Ah, she is still younger than I am ... And I'll tell Matteo Bruni to give her a special place in our final meeting to ask the questions that she judges to be opportune, one or two questions, with full liberty, apart from the programme. A homage to EFE. Thank you. Now, I will have the pleasure to meet all of you. Thank you.
Thank you very much, enjoy the trip.
I want to invite you, every one in your hearts, to offer a prayer for the victims of the hurricane in the Bahamas: those poor people are suffering, from one day to another, they have lost their houses, they have lost everything, even their lives. Everyone in your hearts, pray for these brothers and sisters who are suffering as a result of the hurricane in the Bahamas. Thank you.
