The young woman told the pope that she had been a victim of racism for a long time. “I had to go through all this time with bullying, racism and everything else,” revealed the Ecuadorian who was immediately moved by this memory of her childhood that “still touches her a lot.”

“Going through all of that influenced me to have depression in the future, and also have a very bad relationship with my body, which eventually ended in bulimia… I even had suicidal thoughts, the truth is that my faith collapsed ”, continued the Ecuadorian with tears.

She said that in these moments of her life she is looking for her happiness, for which she wants to erase all her past. For this he says he had the help of a therapist and the evangelical church.

The question he put to the pope was the following: “Are you happy, have you ever felt alone?”

The priest admitted that he has felt alone, “because we have all felt lonely at times”. “In moments of loneliness, the most insane proposals come to you to get out of loneliness… Loneliness is like the winter of a life. A criterion in this weather, in cloudy weather you don’t have to change course… wait for the clouds to pass, for the winter to pass and then ask yourself if you should change or not ”, the pope advised him, adding that dialogue is important in times like these.

“My life experience is that every moment, even the ugliest thing I experienced in my life, served for good in the long run. I’ve had ugly moments in life and yet when life gives you the chance and God gives you the grace to accept them, those ugly moments bear fruit.” said the Argentinian.

The highest representative of the Catholic Church spoke about controversial issues such as child sexual abuse by church officials, the immigration situation in Europe, abortion and the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community in the organization.
