During Mass in Turin’s Vittorio Veneto Square before 40,000 faithful, Pope Francis mentioned God’s love and our ancestors’ strong, “rock-like” faith. The pontiff also mentioned the region’s “free and stubborn saints” who accepted God’s love and spread it around the world. He encouraged the faithful to “face life with courage and look to the future with hope,” urging them to be open to migrants “who fled war and persecution in search of peace and freedom."
