Pope Francis stops by surprise for a coffee in Luxembourg

During his brief but intense stay in the small country of Luxembourg, Pope Francis had time to stop “by surprise” at a cafe.

On the afternoon of Thursday, September 26, before his meeting with the Catholic community of the country at the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Holy Father addressed the cafeteria “The group”.

The employees of the place were surprised when they saw the Pontiff and part of the papal entourage entering the cafeteria. “It was the most stressful coffee I’ve ever had,” Jassin, the owner, said with a smile.

In the videos spread on social networks, you can see how Pope Francis enjoys his coffee, probably “espresso” along with the rest of the employees.

In statements to the newspaper The Daily, Jassin said that “a police officer came in, wearing a headset. “He approached me and explained that Pope Francis was going to come in at any moment and sit down and have a coffee.” “I thought it was a joke, but no, it was real!” he exclaimed.

Still surprised, he noted that the Pontiff wanted to invite everyone to coffee and that he also left him a generous tip of 100 euros.

He also said that, when he saw him enter his premises, he had to “take a deep breath.” “He is approachable and friendly with people and took photos with customers who were in the cafeteria,” Jassin told the Luxembourg newspaper.

After this brief stop, Pope Francis entered the cathedral to meet with the country’s faithful, whom he exhorted to the challenge of evangelizing in a secularized society.
