Vatican City, 12 June 2016 – Yesterday afternoon the Holy Father made a telephone call to the participants in the 38th night pilgrimage on foot from the Italian city of Macerata to the Marian shrine of Loreto, after the Eucharistic celebration presided at by Cardinal Edoardo Menichelli, archbishop of Ancona-Osimo in the Helvia Recina stadium of Macerata. The Pope told the pilgrims that life is a journey and cannot be lived standing still. "Life is for journeying, for doing something, for going ahead, for building social friendship, a just society, for proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus".
