“There is no justice without compassion, no legitimacy without listening to the pain of others,“ said the pope in a video message sent to an event on the island.
The pope thanked all those on the island -- from associations to volunteers, mayors and their administrations -- for their work helping migrants.
“Thousands of faces and names of people now living better lives will never forget your charity.”
On that occasion he denounced what he called “the globalisation of indifference”, and the defence of migrants became a cornerstone of his papacy.
