Rose: "Holy Father, can I tell you a joke?"
Pope Leo: "Is it short? Lots of people want to meet me. Yes yes, okay. What's your joke?"
Rose: "What do you give an Italian ghost for dinner?"
Pope Leo: "I don't know...what do you give an Italian ghost for dinner?"
Rose: "Spookghetti!"
Pope Leo: "Oooooohhhhhoooo..." *cue laughter*
Think about it. When your pet walks in from another room just to find you, that means they were somewhere else for a moment… and decided to come see you.
In their own simple way, their little brain thought about you. They wondered where you were, what you were doing, and they came looking for you.
They didn’t need anything. They just wanted to be near you.
That’s love in its purest form. Quiet, loyal, and completely unconditional.
In a video circulating online, a luminous figure appears briefly during Epiphany services at the Chapel of the Ascension on the Mount of Olives on January 19. The moment can be seen around the 17-second mark.
Je voulais juste faire une photo de ce Kiosco dans le centre de Barcelone.
Puis cette fille est arrivé, elle a galéré à allumer sa clope,
Et elle m’a offert une scène de cinéma.
My courageous compatriots,
Your presence in the streets across Iran has kindled the flame of a national revolution. The continuation and expansion of your presence, and taking control of the streets, is today our foremost, vital priority.
I call upon the people of Iran to join in with the nationwide strikes and protests: government employees, workers in the energy and transportation sectors, truck drivers, nurses, teachers and academics, artisans and entrepreneurs, retirees and those who have lost their savings—everyone, unite and join this national movement.
Across Iran: Tehran, Karaj, Qazvin, Rasht, Sari, Gorgan, Semnan, Bojnord, Mashhad, Birjand, Zahedan, Kerman, Yazd, Shiraz, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr, Yasuj, Ahvaz, Shahrekord, Isfahan, Khorramabad, Ilam, Kermanshah, Sanandaj, Urmia, Tabriz, Ardabil, Zanjan, Hamedan, Arak, and Qom.
I ask Iranians abroad—from Australia and East Asia to Europe and North America—to redouble your activities within the framework of the “Rise Iran” campaign to amplify the voice of the Iranian people to the media, international institutions, foreign governments, and parliaments.
Iran and its streets belong to the Iranian nation. And we will be victorious, because we are united and we are many.
Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi
