I particularly like this photo. Pope Francis had a beautiful smile and energy that touched so many people. Whether you were lucky to be up close to him or watching from a distance, there was something about him that was genuine, moving and with  depth. It was touching to watch yesterday all the beautiful tributes from so many people. He has left a beautiful spiritual footprint in our world and his legacy, love and energy will remain with us. His life of simplicity and living the message of Jesus in such a beautiful way, will remain an inspiration for so many people including myself.

Spiritual Thought For The Week

As the world mourns the loss of Pope Francis, we know we have lost a truly special person❤️. Pope Francis was some man for one man! He was a true shepherd of the people. He was such a good pope, down to earth with a beautiful, practical and simple faith. He had a practical outlook on everything and had no time for pomp and those who tried to complicate the beautiful message of Jesus.
Like a compass he has guided the church through some very difficult and turbulent times. He will be remembered as a reforming pope and one who brought many good changes to the Catholic Church. He also had such a beautiful smile and one that reflected the beautiful person within. May his gentle soul rest in peace❤️🙏
