The People’s Pope
Whether donning a bright red nose to help bring clown therapy to sick children or posing for “selfies'' with the young, the old, and everyone in between, Pope Francis will be remembered as a pope who enjoyed his interactions with crowds and visitors to the Vatican. He was always approachable, always humble, and quick to flash that trademark smile.
"From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us."
- Pope Francis
