Pope Francis visits Venice, says his work isn't easy
Pope Francis made his first trip out of Rome for seven months on Sunday (April 28) with a packed visit to Venice that took in an art exhibition, a prison and a Mass, with the 87-year pontiff acknowledging that life could be hard.
Hobbled by recent bouts of ill-heath, the pope read out three speeches and a homily during his five-hour stay, moving around the lagoon city by wheelchair, golf buggy and motorlaunch.
Although he appeared well and spoke in a clear voice, he also made a rare acknowledgement of the strains of the job.
/”Please pray for me because this work is not easy,/” he told thousands of faithful gathered in St Mark’s Square.
