Pope meets Chilean miners rescued from 2010 mining accident

The men were saved from a collapsed mine five years ago after being trapped underground for 69 days.

Many of the miners said their faith was instrumental in helping them get through the trauma of the accident.

The gathered families often held prayer vigils at the site of the mine.

The group met the Pope before his General Audience on Wednesday morning.

Chilean miner Jose Henriquez told CBN News there was one alternative to giving up hope "and that was God himself".

"So we decided that unless God did a miracle there would be no way out," he said.

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
