We went after the walk and tapas to the Pope Francis movie last evening.  That was My Rebecca, Catherine and Dana.  It was a beauty, very moving for us all.  If you get a chance take it in.  And it is not really a Catholic thing but a humanity thing.  He cuts across traditional boundaries to bring people together is what I see.  He is very humble throughout, a breath of fresh air these days.

The way I look at Pope Francis is that he is not your typical Pope.  He seems bigger than  the position.  He is someone that seems to transcend the current situation.  And even transcend Catholicism.  How does that happen?

I don’t think that there is a person alive that he doesn’t challenge with his message.  We all could do better, maybe way better.  But Papa is a compassionate man and he ends the film speaking about the importance of the smile and of humor in our daily travel as to lighten the his message to each one of us.  It was a nice touch.

The turnout at the theater could have been better.  I don’t know the exact reason for that but I think it seemed light for such a good film.  Maybe there is the feeling that it is a “Catholic” movie but I think that would be a mistake.

My Rebecca is off to Boulder, CO for the national gathering of the Threshold Choirs.  She has participated in it for years and it great that she has a chance to go to the big powwow.  These are small groups of women that sing for people that are dying to ease their transition.  What a bunch of angels, right?

Good to see you again.  Walk and tapas love, Felipe.
