The American pope paused mid-tribute amid his own tears. Francis died one year ago this Easter Monday — and Leo, the disciple, will be on a different continent when the anniversary comes.
I have been a lapsed catholic for the last 45 of my 80 years. But Pope Francis and now Pope Leo have restored my faith. I have always loved Jesus I have always loved his teachings as written in the Bible. Now, I am beginning to hope that the church who once embraced his words and teachings as truth and offered it to the faithful as guidance is returning to his words through the voices of these 2 pope's who have not fallen to the hateful rhetoric that much of the American Catholic Church has embraced.
“At Letters from Leo, we stand with the millions of Catholics around the world who are still grieving Pope Francis and learning to love the disciple he left us.”
Since the day that this noble alliance was conceived.
A shield of protection, a banner of peace,
That forced the aggression of tyrants to cease. 🛡️
For years in the Balkans, when conflict broke out,
And innocent people were living in doubt.
The alliance stepped in with a steady resolve,
Helping the horrors of war to dissolve. 🕊️
They brought in the peacekeepers, stopped the attacks,
And halted the violence right in its tracks.
Through diplomatic efforts and military might,
They guided the region from darkness to light. 🌅
And think of the seas, where the pirates would roam,
Threatening ships that were far from their home.
NATO sent vessels to patrol the deep blue,
Protecting the sailors and global trade, too. ⚓
They’ve trained up the forces in lands far away,
To help them defend their own borders today.
From cyber attacks to the threats from the sky,
The NATO commanders have a vigilant eye. 💻
They share all their knowledge, their tech, and their gear,
To keep the free world from succumbing to fear.
The generals meet and the strategies blend,
To guarantee peace that they fiercely defend. 🤝
When disasters occur, like an earthquake or flood,
And communities struggle in rubble and mud.
The alliance is ready with aid and relief,
Bringing in comfort and lessening grief. 🚁
But the greatest achievement is harder to see,
It’s the fact that our nations remain safe and free!
For deterrence is quiet, it makes little sound,
But it keeps the dictators from taking our ground. 🤫
Because tyrants all know if they cross the red line,
The thirty-two nations will quickly combine.
It's a wall of deterrence that cannot be breached,
The most powerful alliance that history has reached. 🧱
The open-door policy welcomes the brave,
Who escape from the shadows the autocrats gave.
Like Finland and Sweden, who recently joined,
Increasing the strength of the freedom we've coined. 🇸🇪
Our American Grandma reporting brigade,
Knows well that this progress must never degrade.
We study the facts and we look at the chart,
And we know that this alliance is smart from the start. 📊
So don't let the billionaires tell you it's wrong,
To fund an alliance that keeps us all strong.
The cost of a war is much higher, you see,
Than the investment we make to remain safe and free. 💰
We celebrate NATO, its growth and its might,
A democratic lantern that shines in the night.
We'll post and we'll share of the good it has done,
Until the great battle for truth has been won! ✨
