In Bern, Pope John Paul II, aged 84 and managing Parkinson's and mobility limits, drew 70,000 enthusiastic Swiss Catholics for his first open-air Mass abroad in nine months. He spoke in German, French, Italian, and Polish, urged youth cooperation in the gospel, and waved as he was rolled across a large stage before flying back to Rome. He had earlier met with former Vatican Swiss Guard members and praised their service. The trip signals potential future travels and a pilgrimage plan to Lourdes.
