Francis concludes his remarks with a nod to hardships faced by the area’s Christians, urging them to stay strong.

“I salute and greet all the Christians of Jerusalem, well aware of their difficulties,” the pope says.

“Let us imitate the Virgin Mary and St. John and stand by all those crosses where Jesus continues to be crucified,” he says.
