4:56
you're looking forward to the most
5:00
honestly I'm dying to know what he's
going to say that congress that's going
5:05
to be really important and also you know
I really do want to see him with the
5:10
poor the homeless shelter and Washington
the present I remember John the 23rd
5:16
very moving experience in Regina Coeli
prison in like 1988 but it's very moving
5:23
to see him going to the margins and two
people that we tend not to think about
5:27
it all I love that
5:29
behind us and not actually is about to
go on live
5:39
budget thank you very much on the papal
plane first chance to meet the folks who
5:53
was so humble there really is an amazing
experience you have no words to describe
6:00
residents in and his kindness genuine
fears remind me or my grandfather father
6:16
when he speaks very much an american and
that's familiar to me know rosa what did
6:24
he say about me everybody yeah
6:41
I did good advice
6:50
make sure I said things like that and
and one of the things that you mention
6:55
it said France's on the plane so I
didn't hurt
7:07
a very nice way somewhere between there
was such a great if I was so embarrassed
7:21
when I saw the tape from CNN oh my god
I'm so you can attest to the same but
7:37
what was it like when you meet him a
very ordinary wonderful experience even
7:43
though we know him as cardinal and the
street and wrote the story but then to
7:48
meet in the scope and you just rush of
warmth and goodness and nothing put on
7:53
but when you kind of embrace that
goodness it really is something and it
7:57
makes you smile each time I mean there's
a smile even in the most serious moments
8:02
there's a smile like for this trip
8:08
the Catholic Church the American people
I hope you listened to his message I
8:16
really think that he has to get a
simplified things in a way that
8:22
sometimes you can just listen to it or
just read it once you really get the
8:26
message I think they are hoping that
everyone in america really a chance to
8:32
the complete message that he's bringing
and not just isolate something or just
8:36
one thing that he said that think that
that's important
8:39
having a bigger message the canonization
mass resentment pero sera was celebrated
8:46
on the steps of the National Shrine of
the Immaculate Conception with over
8:49
20,000 people on hand for the historic
about at the beginning of the mass the
8:54
church recognized that she was sent as
the pope percent of the formula for
8:57
canonization it is serving the holy
father called sainthood apparel the
9:02
embodiment of a church which goes forth
a church which sets out to bring
9:06
everywhere the reconciling tenderness of
God he said he sought to defend the
9:11
dignity of the Native community to
protect it from those who had mistreated
9:15
and abused it in philadelphia today the
world meeting of families continue with
9:21
its second day of activities today's
afternoon keynote speaker was Colonel
9:25
Robert Sarah Prefect of the Congregation
for divine worship he spoke on the light
9:31
of family in a dark world what is the
image and likeness that we find in the
9:38
divine at the core lies relationship I
really count is in philadelphia the
9:47
world meeting of families and had the
opportunity to once again speak to
9:51
attendees as well as explore the work of
catholic relief services this week in
9:55
the city of brotherly love
9:58
the world meeting of families is well
underway families are already very happy
10:03
to be here together to be able to pray
to be able to share together it's quite
10:07
impressive to see how far people have
come to be here we got to speak to some
10:12
of these families and they have shared
with us their thoughts so far to be here
10:16
you know it's like we attend Mass away
from our parish like anybody my within
10:21
our diocese and sometimes out of state
or in another vacation or whatever but
10:24
to be here you know what I mean I'm
senior this is just a daily Mass 17,000
10:31
people and I just couldn't believe you
know that's a large message ever been
10:34
and it's just a daily mass so I mean to
have our kids experience that many
10:39
people it was just unbelievable it's
great to have an opportunity to be with
10:44
all these people and I go to live that
faith is to interact with people and to
10:49
show people that we do live what we say
you know it's just actually a joy to be
10:56
a Catholic so among the many things that
are prepared for families here this week
11:00
there are activities that families can
do together even schools around town
11:05
have come to join the families in these
activities for example we got to join
11:10
Catholic Relief Services and Stop Hunger
Now and a meal packing event Catholic
11:16
Relief Services and Stop Hunger Now came
together to create an activity for
11:21
families to do together while at the
world meeting of families they called it
11:25
helping hands over the course of three
days
11:28
families will be packing 200,000 meals
that will be sent to Burkina Faso in
11:33
West Africa a region that has been
experiencing an ongoing drought putting
11:37
the people especially those living in
poverty great meet we gather our kids
11:42
together and when they participate in
service and direct service like where
11:46
we're doing today and all across the
archdiocese I think they become alive
11:50
our kids really enjoyed us when we put
this into their hands and so i i think
11:55
one
11:55
this this shows our our school family
fully alive it's a solidarity event that
12:01
caused people to be in solidarity with
people who need some help and need some
12:07
food and you know behind those little
bags of food are you human faces yeah
12:13
actually assembling the lives of people
just reaching out to the least among us
12:18
and making sure that our kids are are
constantly aware that in Catholic
12:22
education we try and teach them that
there is more to our lives than just
12:28
their own world their own lives our own
families that they're part of a larger
12:31
family that when they leave us and go on
to college and become successful in
12:36
whatever career path they choose that
that they remember that service is
12:40
always part of their lives and giving
back to others out of what they've been
12:43
getting kids to be able to do things for
the people in Africa and to be able to
12:47
reach out and twenty thirty years from
now we look back on this as individuals
12:52
and as a family I remember this first
time of togetherness something we all
12:56
did among the eight of us and also as a
way of growing cross Fletcher crisis in
13:00
our lives
13:01
Catholic Relief Services is the official
international humanitarian aid agency in
13:07
the United States and it provides
emergency relief to more than 100
13:11
countries they also work in areas of
health agriculture and education their
13:16
goal is not only to respond to material
needs but to care for the whole person
13:21
and to strengthen them I was on offer
even before the age of 10 I don't even
13:26
know my age I don't have a bed
certificate both parents died so young
13:30
three siblings three of the old died I
was left on my own I have no place to go

act of kindness I found his school that
