I just saw the newsclip of Pope Francis and the little girl who grabbed his zucchetto from his head as he leaned over to give her a kiss. What a precious moment between a humble man of great power and a little girl being-well-a little girl.
I’m sure her father, who moved her towards the pope for a smooch was beside himself. But Pope Francis handled it with humor and grace.
What a wonderful moment!

As a teacher of sixth graders, I have found a special place in my classroom every day, my home-away-from-home. My first home I share with my husband, our dog Quincy, two cats, and my tortoise friend, Misha. I also have been blessed with a horse named Belle. We have three adult children and four grandchildren, the joy of our lives. Life is good. I am an equestrian and also enjoy writing, reading, and gardening.

And that’s just another reason why I love this Pope! He’s just so down-to-earth and definitely someone our world leaders need to look to as an example! Thanks so much for sharing this!

I’m not Catholic, but I have tremendous respect for Pope Francis. (In fact, I even follow him on Twitter!) His is so gracious and gentle. This is yet another moment where he shows his profound love of people.
