Pope Francis has left a lasting impression in Papua New Guinea after his four-day visit. 

The Holy Father arrived on Friday for a three-day visit to Papua New Guinea, his second stop on a 11-day apostolic journey to Asia and Oceania.

Speaking through a translator he's asked the faithful to keep their hearts open to the world.
