I love the Pope's Italian. I attended a Convent school and loved the Latin language I learned. Àbove that I learned Italian and German. However, humility is an amazing life lesson.

One of the 'finalists'? It's not a talent competition.

Jesus loves you! Repent, turn to Him before it is too late. He died for you. Each of us sins, and there is only one punishment for sin - death. That is why Jesus Christ died in your place, so that you would not suffer forever in the lake of fire. He gave each of us the opportunity to spend eternity with Him, in His Kingdom! Do not miss it! He is always ready to hear you, turn to Him, and He will help you!<br><br>Иисус любит тебя! Покайся, обратись к Нему, пока не стало слишком поздно. Он умер за тебя. Каждый из нас грешит, и за грех есть только одно наказание — смерть. Вот почему Иисус Христос умер вместо тебя, чтобы ты не страдал вечно в озере огненном. Он дал каждому из нас возможность провести вечность с Ним, в Его Царстве! Не упусти ее! Он всегда готов услышать тебя, обратись к Нему, и Он поможет тебе!

Compassion<br>There but for the grace of God go I,<br>A phrase Christians should absorb.<br>For no one is immune from <br>The flow of tides<br>When a wave crashes upon the shore.<br>Walk in another person&#39;s shoes!<br>Go on I dare you!<br>See how it feels to be poor<br>With cares of food, health and shelter<br>Ah security! <br>A notion reserved for the few<br>And everyday fewer and fewer.<br><br>Something I wrote a while ago in response to the heartlessness of people. I feel that Pope Leo XIV will serve with compassion. We need him and his soft power to sway the world&#39;s power brokers to care for their fellow men and women.

Here we are with Americans making a big deal out of an American being elected Pope. It&#39;s the Pope lads. His nationality does not matter. Zero. Slack. It makes no difference whatsoever. He&#39;s there for everyone. Luckily his brother does seem to understand that.
