Valletta, Malta (CNN) – Pope Benedict XVI told a group of sexual abuse victims Sunday that he feels “shame” for what they suffered within the church and will make sure their abusers are brought “to justice,” the Vatican announced.

One of the victims, Joseph Margo, said the meeting was “very emotional” – and left even the pope “with tears in his eyes.”

On a trip to Malta, the pontiff met with eight men who said they were abused by Catholic priests when they were children, the Vatican said. The group prayed together, and then the pope spoke individually with each of the men.
