I'm just seeing if this will show up, since I can find a video that I uploaded, and I think may be lost permanently.
I can re-upload it, but, not the point.

BREAKING: Pope Francis dies at 88, ending historic pontificate marked by mercy and reform
I'm shocked. I knew #PopeFrancis was sick, but, as recently as #EasterSunday, he was at apparently giving blessings after #Mass.
For the Non-Catholics I have here, I think now would be a good time to research how the #Pope is chosen. Avoid any #conspiracytheorist websites that say he wasn't really the #Pope.
As for Pope Francis, #Restinpeace. I am curious who the next Pope will be. Pope Francis was the first Pope born in the Americas, and the first #Jesuit pope.
I remember telling my friend Bill (God rest his soul), that the next pope, "will be American", after Benedict died, and I was right! (SOUTH American is a type of American)!
I'm not going to make any predictions for the next Pope. But, I pray that he serves God and his #Church, and brings the #Gospel to the whole world. Pope Francis was really good at telling people, not just to know the Gospel, but to LIVE it.
He was also a friend to #EasternCatholics, and celebrated the #UkrainianGreekCatholic #DivineLiturgy in #Argentina, and spoke #Ukrainian to some extent
May he rest in peace!

Grab your Bible, and follow along. What may be surprising, is the ones that don't do that, are relatively rare

God is our refuge and strength

#Godisourefugeandourstrength.
I don't think a lot of people understand how much we need to rely on #God.
For some of us, he's only there when we hurt. And that is the wrong way to think about God.
God is not some abstract that's only there when you're upset, he's a very real and loving #father that cares for all of his children, even when his children disobey him.
