ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ meets with engaged and newly married couples

The first pastoral portion of ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis' 24th Apostolic Journey happened on Saturday afternoon with a visit to Dublin's St Mary's Pro-Cathedral where he met with about 400 engaged and newly married couples.

ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis met with about 400 engaged and newly married couples from all of Irelands 26 dioceses.

He spent some quiet moments in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament where a candle has been lit since 2010 in memory of all the victims of institutional and clerical abuse in the Church.

He then listened to the greeting of a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary of marriage, and received 2 questions – one each from an engaged couple and a newly married couple.

Then he responded to each of them in prepared remarks from which he diverted a few times, adding some advice as well as some personal stories.
