Pope Francis is back at the Vatican after leaving a clear message in Marseille, France.

The pontiff encouraged clergy and political leaders to help migrants who are escaping hardship and poverty in their home countries.

While at a gathering of Mediterranean leaders and people the Holy Father added that the area  “cries out for injustice.”

The Holy Father was asked about his mission to help migrants on the papal plane during the flight back to Rome.

Elise Allen, senior correspondent for Crux, was on the plane with Pope Francis.
