The Pope glowed as he addressed the mesmerized Congress; he simply glowed with light and enlightened messages to share to the bedraggled hardened Congress.
They listened.
My favorite section throughout his speech was so simple, so pure and on point as a 'bring us back to the basics" message.
Here is the text I am referring to:
"Let us remember the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Mt 7:12).
This Rule points us in a clear direction. Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves. In a word, if we want security, let us give security; if we want life, let us give life; if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us."
Pope Francis ends each meeting, encounter with..."Pray for me."
God Bless YOU, Pope Francis!
