 — 7 —  Keeping It Really Real:  Did you hear that Pope Francis stole a rosary cross from a dead priest’s casket?  Before you gasp too hard, think of how mortifying it must be for him to share this.  But, it is a daily reminder of his sinfulness and imperfection:

“Francis keeps the cross in a little pouch under his cassock, he said.

‘And whenever a bad thought comes to mind about someone, my hand goes here, always,” he said, gesturing to his heart. “And I feel the grace, and that makes me feel better.'”

 God love and bless you!
