Our new seminarians: praying with Pope Francis

What a joy that our six new seminarians, together with some of our formation team, could pray with Pope Francis at the Papal Audience on Wednesday morning. Unusually, it was outside in St Peter's Square rather than in the Audience Hall. The square was heaving with pilgrims, and we had a real sense of the universality of the Church and of our communion with each other through our communion with the the Successor of St Peter.
