Po: Pope Francis celebrated Mass on Sunday for the Jubilee for Prisoners in Saint Peter's Basilica, during which he reminded prison detainees to never lose hope, or fall into the temptation that they can never be forgiven. Around 1,000 prisoners from 12 countries took part in the weekend celebrations, along with their families, prison chaplains and staff, and various associations. The Jubilee for Prisoners is one of the final major events of the Jubilee of Mercy, which ends on November 20. In his homily Pope Francis focussed on the theme of hope.
