Pope Francis has become a rock star in the way other Popes haven't. He is a champion of the poor and the shunned. Last week it was a story about a six year old boy who wandered to the alter while the Pontiff gave a sermon. Without breaking stride Pope Francis continued with his talk while gently stroking the head of the child. Then, following on the heels of that was his allowing a Downs Syndrome boy ride in the Popemobile. The smile on thee lads face is one of joy and satisfaction. His most recent act of love and humility was the embrace and kissing of the face of a man with numerous tumors on his face, hands and body. All of these acts of love are not unique in our lives, are they? If not, why don't we see them more often? I tend to believe these things happen thousands of times every day. It's just that we are forcd to dwell on the negative. It's called the news cycle.
