    At a final rally in Paraguay Sunday (July 12), Pope Francis urged tens of thousands of youths to look after their less fortunate peers and fight for a dignified life filled with hope and strength.
    "Life is not easy and I want you to understand, I want you to put it in your heads. If for me life is relatively easy there are kids for whom it is not easy and more so that desperation pushes them to delinquency, it pushes them into crime, it pushes them to collaborating with corruption. We have to tell those kids that we are near and we want to give them a hand and help them with solidarity," he told the crowd.
    Earlier on Sunday the pope was to have met families who lost loved ones in a harrowing fire years ago but a melee broke out in the crowded streets outside the location and the pope was whisked away.
