Pope Francis says when we are confused and full of anxiety, we should remember Christ is with us at all times. In his sermon for Palm Sunday Mass at the Vatican, the Holy Father said Christ died for us so he could remain by our side forever. He also asked the faithful to pay close attention to those who most resemble Christ in his suffering. The Mass came a day after the Pope was released from the hospital. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins EWTN News Nightly to tell us more about Pope Francis celebrating Palm Sunday.
