Pope Francis final stop on his penitential pilgrimage to Canada was the small Arctic city of Iqaluit, the capital of the territory of Nunavut, for a private visit with Inuit survivors of residential schools, followed by a meeting with Inuit youth and elders.Speaking privately with residential school survivors and hearing some of their stories, Pope Francis led those present in the recitation of the Our Father, before offering them his Apostolic Blessing.
The stories of those whose families were broken up cause not only pain, but scandal, he said, especially when one considers the Commandment to “Honour your father and your mother.” For children taken from their families, this was scarcely possible, the Pope said. First, he encouraged them to “keep walking upwards,” to aspire to great things; and he reminded them that they are the answer to the challenges of the world today. “The future is in your hands,” he told them. “Never lose hope, fight, give it your all, and you will not be sorry.”
