You can’t make everybody happy. It’s a rule. I’m not sure where this rule is codified. Maybe in the back pages of the textbook for the school of hard knocks. But it’s true. You can not make everybody happy. So, in my humble opinion, you should not try. It appears that Pope Francis is of a similar opinion, at least about the not trying part.

The second video discusses the impromptu remarks he made to the press on the flight from Rome. Pray for our Holy Father, that God will give him the stamina to get through this week. I often think of the sacrifice he is making to take on this great responsibility at his age. Every day must be an act of love... Read more
