were leaving the next day on .rnisSion work to one of the

The Pope spoke to as many groups as he could in their
own language, and his cardinals who spOlte Polish and
Spanish delivered his other messages for him.
In our groOp. Protestants, Catholics and the Jewish
university slattern were all equally moved - not so touch by
the Pope as a man but at the obionS affection in which: he
was held, and the fellowship which madethe people in the
audience charph6r forget the' uncertain political
atmosphere outside thegates of the Vatican, and perhaps
• also forget their personal trials, at least for one tour.
Long after I've:forgotten the graffiti on the Roman ruins,
and the demonstrations and unSettled atmospherein
Rome, I'll remember that morning in the audience
