"Why do children suffer so much? Why do children suffer? When the heart is able to ask itself and cry, then we can understand something. There is a worldly compassion, which is useless. You spoke something of this. It is a compassion which moreover leads us to put our hand into the pocket and give something to someone, to the poor." The Pope said.
The Pope even said that the world today lacked the capacity of knowing to cry. That even Jesus in the Bible cried for his friend Lazarus.
"When we pose this question to us, why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life, our response must either be silence or a word that is born of our tears." The Pope added.
