At his morning Mass, Pope Francis prayed especially for the safety and the work of journalists all over the world during this time of pandemic.

Francis said he had been struck by the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on migrant farm workers, who even before the pandemic lived hand-to-mouth with intermittent jobs that pay around 25 euro ($27) a day.

On this episode of the “Inside the Vatican” podcast, America’s Vatican correspondent Gerard O’Connell and producer Colleen Dulle discuss a new interview with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

“Pope Francis gives enormous importance to the plight of the millions of forgotten men, women and children forced to migrate within their own countries and known internationally as ‘internally displaced people.’”

The pope began his homily by reflecting on the Sunday Gospel reading from St. John, in which Christ not only presents himself as the shepherd but also as "the gate for the sheep" because "whoever enters through me will be saved."
