"We were gentle among you, as a nursing mother cares for her children."

• "All of us, today, are gathered here in hope. Each one of us, in his own heart, can repeat Job’s words, which we heard in the First Reading: 'I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last He will stand upon the earth'....Today we pray for all the deceased, all, but in a special way for these youths, at a time in which so many die in battles every day in this piecemeal war. We pray also for today’s dead, the war dead, also innocent children. This is the fruit of war: death. And may the Lord give us the grace to weep" (Pope Francis, 11/2/17).
