Pope encourages "apostolate" of smiles

In an audience held with members of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal International Service, known as CHARIS, Pope Francis encouraged them to smile, as doing so will help them in their mission.

CHARIS is a group focused on baptism, Christian unity and service to the poor. It was created just five years ago by the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life.
