Pope deplores ‘selfish mindset’
The 85-year-old pontiff spoke of peace both during and after the Mass, addressing thousands who had followed the service from outside in St Peter’s Square.
“A new year is like a trip. With the light and the grace of God, may it be the start of a path to peace for every person, every family, every country, and for the entire world,” he said from his window overlooking the square.
