This afternoon, on the eve of his upcoming apostolic journey to Portugal on the occasion of World Youth Day (WYD) Lisbon 2023, Pope Francis went, as usual, to the Basilica of St. Mary Major, where he paused in prayer before the icon of the Virgin Salus populi romani, entrusting her with the journey and the thousands of young people he will meet in the coming days.
Pope Francis thanks for the dedication and says he is touched by their "affection and enthusiasm"
