this a wonderful and true and fulfilling story - I think children's book should come out of this. A wonderful legacy and my heart is happy to read this substack.

This is wonderful. Pope Francis was a kind, compassionate and courageous man. And Pope Leo is following in his mentor's steps beautifully. At a time when the U.S government is causing such harm to so many, Pope Francis reminds us of the best of America.

I am reading this article before I go to sleep. What a beautiful account of Pope Francis's request for the children of Gaza. My heart is filled by the display of kindness.

Please God that Israeli forces do not bomb the Popemobile turned Children’s clinic. Blessings on all involved in carrrying out the wishes of two Popes.

“Vehicle of Hope” - such an appropriate title! Pope Francis lived the teachings of Our Lord each day and it’s clear that Pope Leo XIV is doing the same. Thank you for sharing this inspiring story.
