Vatican City, Oct 2, 2020 / 05:00 am (CNA).- Pope Francis Friday met with the 38 new recruits of the Swiss Guard, who will be sworn-in Oct. 4, encouraging them to be faithful to Christ.

“May the oath you take the day after tomorrow also be a testimony of fidelity to your baptismal vocation, that is, to Christ, who calls you to be men and Christians, protagonists of your existence,” Pope Francis said.
