A friend recalls times they would get together to play games such as Halo, but his mom said that his clear favorites were Super Mario Brothers and Pokémon. Blessed Carlo had once said, “When we face the sun we get a tan ... but when we stand before Jesus in the Eucharist we become saints.” His body was on display for veneration from October 1-17. The annual celebration of his feast has been marked for October 12th. (source: ncregister.com) Shortly after his death, people had received miracles of healing through his intercession.

  • The Pope Meets the Children of the Parish of Santa Maria Josefa Del Cuore Di Gesù
    N. 170219d Sunday 19.02.2017 The Pope meets the children of the parish of Santa Maria Josefa del Cuore di Gesù In the parish hall the Holy Father, accompanied by the cardinal vicar of Rome, Agostino Vallini, and the parish priest, greeted the children of the parish and responded to questions they posed to him. The following is a summary of the Holy Father’s answers: Alessandro: “Why are you a Pope?” Pope Francis: “Because some people were ‘guilty’ of this, and one is here (indicates Cardinal Vallini, while the children laugh) ... Let me explain to you how one becomes Pope. Do you pay to be Pope? [‘No’] Is there a draw for a Pope? [‘No’] Who are the ones who choose the Pope? The cardinals .. And Don Agostino [Vallini] is a cardinal, he is the vicar of Rome, and was one of the 115 cardinals who gathered together to elect the Pope. Do you understand? ... They get together, they talk to each other, they think ... ‘This one has this advantage, this other one ...’, and they reason ... But above all - and this is the most important thing - they pray. ... These people who are in Cloister, that is, who cannot talk to people from outside ... they go from the Casa Santa Marta to the Sistine Chapel to choose the Pope. They talk to each other about what the Church needs today, and why she needs a personality with this profile or with that. … And the Lord sends the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit helps us in the election. Then, everyone gives his vote, and in the end they are counted, and the one who has two- thirds of the votes is elected Pope.
