Years ago I remember during Miss America competition, contestants when asked what they wished for most was peace on Earth. It got to be a joke–a political correct shallow answer prompted from their elders. But out of the mouths of "babes" often come the wisdom of truth.
Through his humble demeanor Pope Francis also emphasized for the entire world equality, freedom, justice and relief for the poor, especially children, and suffering on our common home.
His heart is also filled with sorrow as man continues to abuse our mutual home. if we are to survive on this beautiful Earth we must no longer keep blowing up one another that also sets off earthquakes through warfare disturbing and polluting the land–even disturbing deep into its interior, its azure seas and the blue sky above us all.
Thank you for giving us hope, dear Pope. And I admire you for your dedicated study in learning English.
