@JaniceDean You are a beautiful soul and I wish you all the best!

[Paulina Guzik @Guzik_Paulina]

I just play it on repeat since yesterday:

"Hello Pope Leo XIV, I'm Renzo, I'm six years old.
I'd like to ask you a few questions."

Renzo, a little a boy from the poor neighborhood of Barcelona, stole the show yesterday at St. Augustine's parish, a place where Pope Leo admitted he "feels at home."

Renzo in the sweetest way ever asked those questions to the pope:
Do you like soccer?
When you were little, did you want to be Pope?
Why are my mom and dad worried?
Why does my dad have so many jobs?
Why do bad things happen to some people and not to others? Whose fault is it?
Why are there so many people living on the streets? Does no one see them? Does no one help them?
How can we help if the world is so big?
Does God want there to be poor and rich?
Why are there so many lonely grandparents, if they are so important?
And one last question ... Must we always forgive?

What pope Leo answered the boy was really moving.

"Regarding whether I like football, I confess that I play tennis and I enjoy it very much, but I also appreciate football; in fact, during my years as bishop in Peru, I liked to follow how some local teams were doing; and now, as Pope, I have also received football clubs and sports groups," the pope said, adding that "sport is important because it helps us grow up healthy in body and mind."

He said that as World Cup unfolds, "many will be watching the matches. Football reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off alone, but a path we learn to travel together."

"Whoever doesn't know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, hasn't yet understood the game. And whoever doesn't know how to live with others and for others hasn't yet understood life."

Answering whether he wanted to be Pope when he was little, the pope said: "Well, Renzo, I don't think so. I don't think I ever thought about it."

"But I can tell you something: from a young age, I felt the desire to dedicate my life to God. I didn't yet know exactly how or where the Lord would lead me. Over time, I discovered that Jesus was calling me to follow him as a priest, and that this path led through the Order of Saint Augustine."

"But this isn't just true for me," he said. "Every child is a dream of God. You are too. God desires the happiness of all and wants us, from childhood and throughout our lives, to have a heart like that of children (cf. Mt 18:3): capable of trusting, full of kindness; he wants us to be his friends and not turn away from him. Therefore, more important than asking oneself whether one will be a priest, doctor, teacher, parent, or anything else, is asking oneself whether one wants to be a friend of Jesus. Because friendship with Jesus gives us joy, sets us free, and helps us to see, step by step, the vocation and the path that God has planned for each of us."

Answering the point on injustices in the world, Pope Leo told the boy that "through the life of Jesus Christ, God shows us that, although there is suffering, he never abandons any of his children, because he has prepared for us an eternal joy where there will be no more sadness or pain. Let us have confidence, Jesus is with us, he helps us and accompanies us, and gives us strength to go through the difficult moments we may encounter in life."

Stressing that grandparents play a crucial role in families, the pope said: "Let us not allow loneliness and abandonment to become normalized in the lives of older adults. That is a very sad thing. Let's have our hearts open to all of them."

On forgiveness, he told Renzo and those gathered: "It does not mean forgetting by force, as if nothing had happened. Forgiveness means not letting hatred become the master of our hearts ... our willingness to forgive is a condition for the forgiveness we receive from God."

In 2005, Gordon Hartman watched his 12-year-old daughter Morgan approach some kids playing in a hotel pool. She just wanted to join in. They picked up their ball and walked away.

That moment never left him.

He sold his homebuilding business — the largest locally-owned one in San Antonio — and spent the next several years consulting doctors, therapists, and parents of disabled children to design something the world had never seen. In 2010, Morgan's Wonderland opened in San Antonio, Texas: the first ultra-accessible theme park ever built, where every single ride, attraction, and pathway was engineered for people with physical and cognitive disabilities.

Admission is completely free for anyone with special needs. Every ride accommodates wheelchairs. The water park uses warm water for visitors with muscular conditions and provides waterproof wheelchairs at no charge. A sensory village, accessible Ferris wheel, miniature train, river rides — all of it designed so that nobody ever has to stand on the sideline.

The park has now welcomed over 1.8 million visitors from all 50 states and 74 countries. Roughly one-third of its entire staff are people with disabilities themselves. And Gordon has since pledged 95% of his wealth to philanthropy for the rest of his life.

Morgan is now in her 30s. The park still bears her name. And somewhere on those 25 acres, every single day, a child with a disability is doing something for the very first time.

That's what one decision looks like at scale.

In a world that destroys children with Down syndrome, listen to this brave girl:

“You can try to kill off everyone with Down syndrome by using abortion, but you won’t be any closer to a perfect society. You will just be closer to a cruel, heartless one."

You have a powerful 12-week window to shape your newborn’s brain. This isn’t about spoiling or independence. Early stress wires fear, while safety wires trust. What you do now becomes the foundation.

Ignoring cries doesn’t teach self-soothing. It teaches stress. Inconsistency confuses the nervous system and weakens secure brain connections during the most sensitive period of development.

Respond quickly. Hold them. Make eye contact. Speak softly. Your face is their map. Your voice is their guide. Every response strengthens a connection. You are the architect—build wisely.
