JAKARTA – Pope Francis celebrated Mass for the Indonesia's minority Catholic population on his final day in the country, telling them not to be discouraged in the face of difficulties and failures and to take the risks that come from following Christ.
Speaking in Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno Stadium before a crowd estimated by the Vatican at 100,000 people, the Pope said that it is easy for all of us to “sometimes feel inadequate” and that it is all too much when up against daily tasks alongside the desire to build a more just society and to advance the cause of peace and dialogue.
