Fr. Miguel said the children will wait for Pope Francis at the end of the 13-kilometer golf cart ride in Vanimo to bless the people.

The Archbishop of Port Moresby, Cardinal John Ribaud, has described Pope Francis’ visit to Papua New Guinea as a „blessing”.
He noted that the Pope comes not only as the head of the Catholic Church but also as the head of state.
„The Pope is coming as a sick person and I want to emphasize that he will be in a wheelchair. He is 88 years old this year,” said the prelate. „Despite his age and all the problems surrounding his health, he still decided to come.”
Cardinal Ribaut reminded the faithful that the pope is „a person like you and me.” However, he stressed that „if Jesus Christ chooses him to carry out this important work in the world, we must prepare well for his coming and welcome him.”
