Vatican City, Vatican – 7 January 2018 – On Sunday, Pope Francis celebrated the Eucharist and baptized 34 children. "They too have their own dialect which does, and makes us feel, good!", the Pope exclaimed. "We must not forget this language of children, who speak as best they can, but it is the language Jesus likes so much." Then he invited the audience: "In your prayers be as simple as children. Tell Jesus what comes from your heart, as they do. They will do so today, by crying, yes, like children. (...) The dialect of parents is the love to transmit faith, and the children's dialect is to be welcomed by the parents to grow in faith."
