Father Adeodatus Muhigi is among the Roman Catholic faithful in Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) restive city of Goma who prepared to welcome Pope Francis last July, before the pontiff had to postpone a trip to Africa because of a knee ailment.

Pope Francis leads the Angelus prayer from his window at the Vatican.

“We were looking forward to it with great joy,” Father Muhigi said. “It’s not a disappointment for me, because it’s understandable,” he said. Father Muhigi said many of the people from the east who would meet the pope were those affected by the fighting.
