Identity and Mission

Thank you, Pope Francis

Pope Francis was a special leader in our Church.

He didn’t wear a crown or live like a king.

He smiled a lot, rode in a little car, and loved meeting people - especially the poor, the sick, and children just like our girls here at Mount Carmel College.

He told us that being kind is more important than being important.

He reminded us to care for our Earth - because its own home , and God made it.

He showed us that we should never ignore someone who’s hurting, and we should always choose love.

Pope Francis believed in young people.

He believed you can do great things, even small things, to make the world better.

Things like saying sorry, helping a friend, or standing up for someone who’s left out.

Now Pope Francis is with God in heaven.

But we can keep his mission going - by being kind, brave, joyful, and full of love, just like he was.

Let’s remember: Big hearts change the world.

And You’ve got one, too.
