He's different, in a wonderful way. Wish I could have been there with you, Lori!

Same here, Paula. It's that humility that draws me in. And the park was a great place to watch from. Sure, it was a t.v. screen, but it was among so many nice people.

Whenever I saw news coverage this weekend, I wondered where in that mass of humanity (the good kind!) you and your family were, Lori. How appropriate it was in park called Love.

I love this pope. 🙂

Great words — perfect for him. I hope his presence is a sign of changes to come. You never know.

I sometimes wonder if so many would have strayed from the Catholic church if prior popes had been like this one. I think two words describe him perfectly – humility and love. I'm so glad his visit to your neck of the woods was inspiring to you.
