Remembering Pope Francis
Pope Francis appeared at the Vatican window, offering his Sunday blessing in Italian, with the papal banner draped beneath him. Though I could only see him from a distance and couldn’t understand a single word he spoke, his presence was profoundly palpable. His voice carried the warmth and comfort of a father soothing a wounded child.

Thanks for allowing space in the Church for people like me–a queer woman, an activist, someone who doubted. Thanks for speaking up about Gaza and the Palestinians, greed and exploitation, among many other issues and injustices you brought attention to. You embodied the true radical love that Jesus lived. I can only hope for more leaders like you.
Revolutionary Pope
Pope Francis changed the Catholic Church in a way that it is closer to the poor. An image of simplicity and humbleness instead of a traditional church that is regal. The late pope also opened the church’s doors to change. A change that has become more fluid and less strict. He also touched the people’s heart because of his kindness and humbleness
Heavenly peace for Pope Francis
