"I was interpreting simultaneously, and needless to say, the days before the assignment were extremely stressful.
"In fact it has been a crescendo of mixed feelings and a rollercoaster of emotions – excitement, fear, happiness and nerves – right up to the time he entered the Synod Hall at the Vatican City to a standing ovation. The whole event was very moving, with loud applause while he received gifts from children.
"However, as soon as I started interpreting, my nerves vanished and I was calm. I was incredulous to see him on my screen and to be actually interpreting his speech.
"There is no doubt that this assignment is the highlight of my career so far."
