17. SOUNDBITE (French) Benjamin Kabongo, Franciscan friar, Parish of Saint-Gilles:
“When one listens here to the words of the poor, you feel closer to the people who suffer. I believe it is a very strong message that the Pope comes to share a little moment of breakfast with some people. It is a recognition of their humanity to bless anyone whoever they are, but even more important, how can you say, for people who don’t have a chance to say anything to the rest of the world and then they are in front of the Holy Father. I believe that is a very strong gesture.”

STORYLINE:
Pope Francis met with a group of homeless people and migrants for breakfast Saturday morning in Brussels and learned about their lives over croissants and coffee.
10 people gathered around a table at the church of Saint Gilles in the centre of the city where they usually receive their breakfast outside.
The table was moved into the church to escape the rain. The group chatted with Pope Francis about their experiences and challenges.
They got a laugh from the pope when they gave him a gift of beer made by the parish to raise funds for charity, four bottles of La Biche de Saint Gilles.
Among the group was a migrant who made his way on a boat across the Mediterranean to the Italian island of Lampedusa and then was thrown in prison.
He told the Pope he lost his will to pray. He has now found his faith again.
Father Benjamin Kabongo, a Franciscan friar who works with the homeless at Saint Gilles, said it was a very strong gesture for the pope to come and listen to these people that the world does not pay attention to.
