13 Reasons Why I Love Pope Francis
Steve Skojec

It is known among my friends a few of my favorite things, cooking and Pope Francis. They even got me an “I Love Pope Francis” apron for my birthday last year. If I could meet any celebrity it would most definitely be the Pope Francis. Here are 13 reasons why…

1. The day he was elected he asked all of us to pray for him.


How humbling is it to be elected pope and ask everyone else for prayers.

2. He paid his own hotel bill after being elected and chose public transportation.

From the beginning he showed us his humble nature.

3. He practices what he preaches.

A pope that sneaks out to serve the homeless is one that we all should look up to.

4. He is so genuine.

Always has a smile on his face.

5. He lets the little children come to him.

Just like Jesus, he doesn't yell at them for doing so either.

6. He isn't afraid of the new digital era.

Rather, he embraces it and is a social media sensation.

7. Or having fun.

He truly lives out the Joy of the Gospel.

8. He loves all of God's creatures.

And he isn't afraid to show it.

9. He is basically a rock star.

For real, the pope made the cover of the Rolling Stones.

10. Popemoji.


Basically the greatest thing on the planet.

11. Embraces the ostracized.

And reminds us to do the same.

12. Let's not forget about the babies...

This is pretty much the cutest thing I have ever seen.

13. He loves Walsh University!

And Walsh University loves him!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
