Our Moment with Pope Francis

"Then he turned to me... I could feel the entire entourage of cameras pointed my way. Despite the chaos, his full attention was on me as if I were the only person in the world..."

Words can't describe the feeling of loss that has enveloped our hearts this week. Back in 2017, Brian and I (Katie here!) had the incredible blessing to meet our Holy Father for just a moment. It was a moment that changed our lives forever. I experienced what the term "Vicar of Christ" really meant, and that this man truly loved each and every one of us as Christ would. We will dearly miss him.

My full reflection was published in the Criterion of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis shortly after we returned home. You can read it here.
