She said the Pope’s visit is a “great motivation” for them and offers a “spiritual renewal” to be “more open and give more energy and more prayer for the missions” pastoral workers are undertaking. Sister Jadwiga said she hopes to meet Pope Francis after the Holy Mass on Sunday, saying she wants to thank him personally for the large donations from the Vatican that arrived in Papua New Guinea during the Covid crisis. “I hope tomorrow I will have a chance to shake his hands and thank him personally,” she said.
