You know who can relate best to Pope Francis?

It’s not the politicians and other elite who had prime seats on Thursday for his address to Congress. It’s the people who serve in soup kitchens so the hungry will have something to eat. It’s those who venture out on freezing nights with coffee and blankets for the homeless. It’s the ones who volunteer to help the elderly, even if it’s just to hold their hand and talk.

Like my wife does every Wednesday at Catholic Parrish Outreach's food pantry for the poor. And also the work she does moving around the city looking to check on the status of the homeless.
