<p class="has-drop-cap">Pope Francis on Monday warned an audience of hairdressers, hairstylists and beauticians that they should avoid gossiping.</p>



<p>“Practice your profession in a Christian style, treating customers with kindness and courtesy, offering them a good word and encouragement,” he said.</p>



<p>“And avoid succumbing to the temptation of chatter which is easily associated with your field of work,” he added.</p>

<p>During the meeting at the Vatican, he advised the group of 230 pilgrims to follow their patron saint Martino de Porres (1579-1639), canonized in 1966 by his predecessor Paul VI.</p>



<p>The barber-surgeon was canonized for his supposed miracles of levitation, being in two places at once, instant cures and communicating with animals. Porres is also the patron saint of mixed-race people.</p>



<p>Much like Porres, whose job covered haircuts, amputations and bloodletting, “each of you, in your professional work, can always act with righteousness, thus making a positive contribution to the common good of society,” Francis said.</p>



<p>In 2015, the pontiff opened a hairdressing salon in the Vatican for the homeless people of Rome. It is open on Mondays, when other barbers are closed, and is staffed by volunteers.<br><strong>Source</strong>: DW.com</p>
