The Pope Visits Children's Hospital

Here are some moving images of the Holy Father visiting sick children in the Bambino Gesu hospital, five minutes away from the Vatican. Let us pray for these little ones.


The hospital staff and patients greeting the Pope


The Holy Father waves back!


Pope Benedict blesses a child in his hospital bed.
The Holy Father visibly touched by their suffering.


A Pope's kiss for his child and a child clings to
his spiritual father.

At one point, a child mistook the Holy Father for a doctor and started to cry. The nurse explained that it was because of the white robe, that the child felt scared. It must be traumatic for a child to be visited regularly by the doctor, knowing that he or she will be examined or given a shot or some unpleasant medicine.
