The visit, which will be available for live streaming via the United Nations Web TV site, will begin at 8:30 a.m. EDT and is one of the most highly anticipated stops on Francis' trip. 

"The pope will not be speaking primarily as a politician. He will not be speaking like a technical expert. He will not be speaking like a high U.N. official. But he will be speaking, above all, as a pastor, as a religious leader," Archbishop Bernardito Auza told NY News 1. "Poverty, social justice, climate change, and what we call peaceful institutions and societies. These are also the priorities of the Catholic Church."
