Where's Francis?

Can you find Francis?


Yesterday the three day extravaganza known as the Jubilee for Teens began.  It was kicked off by the teens walking through the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica.  Today, 150 priests plus Francis heard reconciliations for the teens.  Francis himself heard the reconciliations of sixteen young men and women (13 to 16 years of age) in an one hour period.  The teens were then bused to Rome’s Olympic Stadium where they were to hear an important video message from Francis himself!  Tomorrow Francis will oversee a special Novus Ordo service at St. Peter’s Square where an expected crowd of 70,000 will gather.  The theme is the same as the Jubilee of Mercy - ‘Growing merciful like the Father’.


 Did Francis admonish this young lady for dressing like a man?

Youngsters cued up to go to St. Peter’s Square.


RomeReports reports on this...


Surprise, Francis is here!



It’s never a dull day with Francis around!



That’s how humbleness rolls!

Francis message to the youth, “life...is...the endless party”

Party like it's a Jubilee Year!

“It is a time when we can discover that life together as brothers and sisters is like a great party, perhaps the most beautiful party we can imagine, the endless party that Jesus has taught us to celebrate by his Spirit. The Jubilee is the party to which Jesus invites us all, without excluding anyone.”
— Francis, 6 January 2016 



And if one enjoyed that advice to the youth, be sure to purchase the new children's book published by Loyola Press and written by Francis which is full of Francis' radical guidance.
