I actually had goosebumps on my arms after reading this. Pope Leo demonstrates the peace and kindness of Jesus. We are blessed to have him as our pontiff.

What an amazing Pope & man. God Bless you Pope Leo…to show up unannounced without press or photographers validates your deep concern for this child’s welfare. We should all be so pious & humble

This made me cry remembering the solitude of motherly fear in the ICU. The chaplain asked, “where do you think God is right now?“

“I hope standing beside his bed to help him.“

“Remember, God is big enough that there’s some left for you, too.“

There is a big difference, good people, between muttering the Lord’s Prayer every week in church, and whispering, “Thy will be done,” in reference to your most beloved one.

Please tell the Holy Father thank you for showing the way of Christ’s kindness in such a meaningful way.

Chris, the basic decency of this great good man brings me to tears on a daily basis. I am so happy seeing someone who exemplifies Jesus’s teachings. He walks his walk. I have seen some reports from the Vatican reporting a number of German bishops refusing to follow his direction. Campn you please do a piece on the changes Leo is mandating? Some of the things I have seen include abolition of ecclesiastical titles, yearly diosesan audits with public reporting, and a mandate that any priest desiring a bishop role must do a year off missionary work. Are these things true?

While the bloodlines of Jesus christ himself are being slaughtered in the holey land- Palestine!

You people are about as far away from Christians as the devil himself!

The man who could eradicate hunger worldwide with less than 0.001% of what the Vatican owns visits a baby and you act like he walked on bloody water.

“Western values”= hypocritical selective amnesia.

“Western civilization”= an oxymoron.

You sound like 16 year old groupies.
