The Pope sent the wish of people of Hiroshima for the world.
I think that I must not repeat war.
I think that people living Hiroshima should send the terror of nuclear
weapons to the world.
The Pope said that we can lose the nuclear weapons.  I was encouraged by it.
Therefore believe that a nuclear weapon disappears. I am going to try an
activity hard for world peace from now on.
I join thought of The peace together from me to the next generation.

Actually I didn’t know much about Pope before the ceremony, but I learned a lot from this opportunity.  I think it was very big thing that Pope talked to the world about abolishing nuclear weapon  very clearly in Hiroshima, where is one of a few cities that have attacked by a nuclear weapon.
