Quote of the Day – Handwriting Practice

Pope Francis or Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the much-loved 260th pope since St. Peter. Before becoming pope he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires in Argentina and became a cardinal in 2001. He is the first South American to be made pope and the first from the southern hemisphere. He chose the name Francis in honour of St. Francis of Assisi. His voice is one of the strongest fighting climate change and his letter to the world ‘Laudato Si’ is a loud call for everyone to start taking the state of the earth seriously. Talking about Donald Trump in 2016, Pope Francis said, “A person who only thinks about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. That is not the gospel.”
