... it is where the Pope visits to place flowers at the statue of the BVM in front of the Spanish Embassy.

Hope you’re having a great ...

Perhaps that is part of the reason Francis changed when he returned from being in prison for a year after being captured in the war with neigbouring Perugia. There is an invitation here to go deeper. To ask what life is all about, why are we placed on this earth for three score years and ten. And what legacy will we leave behind us for the benefit of ...
