Pope Francis has noted the “great personal risk” taken by soldiers and law enforcement officers, thanking them for their service and praised them as “agents of security and freedom”.
The Pope was speaking to pilgrim servicemen and servicewomen in Rome for the Jubilee of the Armed Forces yesterday, part of larger celebrations marking the Ordinary Jubilee Year, 2025.
Military service members from various branches, police, and other security personnel were among the participants in the Jubilee Mass in St. Peter’s Square.
