Pope Francis flies out of Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic after visiting three African countries. Wherever he went, he was greeted by thousands of cheering, joyful Africans and wherever he spoke, he encouraged Africans in their faith and spoke out loud and clear against discrimination, violence and exploitation.

In Kenya, the Pope said: "Shape a society which is ever more just, inclusive and respectful of human dignity. May you always be concerned for the needs of the poor, and reject everything that leads to prejudice and discrimination, for these things, we know, are not of God.”

In Uganda, the Pope said: “Jesus is present here. Because he is always present among the poor, the sick, the imprisoned, the marginalized, and those who suffer.”

In the Central African Republic, the Pope said: “It is good, especially in times of difficulty, trials and suffering, when the future is uncertain and we feel weary and apprehensive, to come together before the Lord.”
