Make the most of the chance to encounter Pope Francis up close. This enchanting event takes place in Vatican City every Wednesday, beginning in the late morning. Pope Francis makes his appearance at 9:30 am, after making a brief journey in his pope mobile. During this tour, the Pope takes the time to offer blessings to the crowds that gather along the barricades. A special consideration is given to those who are ill, infants, and the frail. The main event follows, which includes greetings in Italian and various global languages, a brief mass, and a blessing session where devotees present their holy items for the ultimate blessing. The interaction with the Pope involves minor teachings and readings. The event concludes with a collective recital of the Our Father prayer in Latin, led by the Pope. As the leader of the Catholic Church, he then bestows his Apostolic Blessing on the audience, which further extends to their ailing and struggling loved ones. Any religious articles such as rosary beads brought by the attendees for the purpose of the blessing are also consecrated.
