The Shoes of the Fisherman

Pope died but not before leaving a legacy for living every day of his life in faith. Forgiving killers after his own blood, converting cold hearts into warm beings, keeping the flock and calling for peace and harmony, which now are increasingly becoming extinct words in a harsh, violent world. Soon another one would step into the shoes of the fisherman, as the papal seat is often called, in rememberence of the first pope, Peter, the Fisherman.
I pray for the next pope who now faces new dilemmas, between faith and science, belief and non belief, peace and violence. I hope he can lead millions of my christian brothers into the new age of faith. Amen
