Your very own personal papal-approval gesture.

If that were me, I’d have that photo enlarged and framed, and hanging in a prominent place in my home. Might even put it on Christmas cards to send out to friends. Frankly, I’m tempted to do likewise and it didn’t even happen to me!

I’d be smiling, too.

The Swiss Guard had to guard Pope Francis' room at the residence Santa Maria. One late night, early morning, Pope Francis comes out of his room and asks the guard on duty if he was hungry. The guard said yes. The Pope made him a couple of sandwiches.

May he be with the Lord.
