Hello! It's Pope Francis here.


Pope Francis has made waves across the globe as a pontiff who’s sociable, humble, and techy. Barely six months in his new role, he has brought back life into the Christian world with his unconventional ways. 

When I heard mass at St Mary’s Church, the priest told the story about Pope Francis calling an unmarried pregnant woman and assuring her that she made the right decision to keep the baby. The Pope even volunteered to baptize the baby. I was really awed! Is this for real? A Pope who is on twitter. A Pope who gamely poses for selfie photos. A Pope who holds a press conference on the plane. A Pope who makes personal calls. He has touched people’s lives in amazing ways. 

I feel so blessed to have a Pope who is not on a pedestal. Pope Francis is definitely in tune with modern life and in touch with the people. Who knows you might get a call or retweet from him?
