A good friend of mine is a Franciscan priest. He has helped me through difficult times and helped me to make some hard decisions. He has some great adventures and I enjoy following them on Facebook. He shows that being a priest is exciting and joyful. Recently he has been in Rome with several others from the order. While there, he was blessed to meet Pope Francis. Today I saw the pictures he posted of the moment they shook hands. I have never seen such a look of enthusiasm and awe. It was truly a blessed moment for him and the pictures filled me with joy. It did the same for so many others judging by the comments.

I Found God today in the overwhelming joy passed on by a friend who met Pope Francis.
