"I think of parents facing their children's problems", "parents who see different sexual orientations in their children: how to manage this, and accompany their children and not hide in a condemning attitude?". Thus Pope Francis, this morning in the general audience in the Vatican.

"Never condemn a child", Bergoglio continued. "I think of parents facing their children's problems", "sick children, even with permanent illnesses, how much pain". "To the parents who see their children go away because of an illness", "it's sad", to the parents of "kids who make bad fights that end up in car accidents", "parents who see their children who don't go on in the school".

There are "many problems of the parents, let's think how to help them", his words.

"To these parents I say: do not be frightened, there is pain, a lot, but you can pray, as Saint Joseph did, and ask for God's help".

The Pope recalled when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires and felt "so much tenderness" when "I went to the bus and passed in front of the prison and there was a queue of people who had to enter to visit the prisoners and there were mothers there and me. made so much tenderness ". "Mom does not leave him alone" a son. "It is the courage of mothers and fathers - the conclusion - that always accompany their children". "We ask the Lord to give this courage".
