According to the Associated Press, the
80-year-old referred to his own death twice in the span of a few minutes at the
vigil.
In reference to the 2019 edition of The
Catholic Church World Youth Day, which will be held in Panama, Pope Francis
told the crowd gathered at the St. Mary Major basilica: “I don’t know if it
will be me, but the Pope will be in Panama!”
A few minutes earlier, he drew gasps
from the pews when he said: “At my age, we (old people) are about to pass
away.”
Sensing their pained reaction, he
added: “Who guarantees life? No one. At your age, you have the future ahead of
you.”
