Pope Francis is one of the most popular and magnetic religious and world leaders in recent memory. We can all take great pride in knowing that Philadelphia was the central reason for his visit to the United States of America. His visit was a unique gift, but it s not relegated to one moment in time. We all have an obligation to embrace the spirit of the visit in an ongoing fashion by taking Pope Francis example to heart. May it guide each of us to exhibit charity, kindness, compassion, and humility in our daily lives.

May it inspire all of us to work toward the transformation of ourselves and our society in deeply positive ways through God s spirit of fellowship and joy.
