The boy is afraid to speak
Boy : I can't do it
Pope: Come Come Come to me , Emanuele
Pope: Come and tell me in my ear , Tell me in my ear
The boy is lead up to the pope and speaks in his ear , then
is lead back to his seat.
Pope: If only we could cry like emanuele
when we have pain in our hearts.
He cries for his father who died,
and had the courage to do so before
us . because there is love in his heart
for his dad.
I asked Emanuele permission to
reveal his question to the public
and he said 'yes.'
The Boy said: My father died a short
time ago, He was an atheist
but he baptized his four
children.
He was a good man.
Is dad in Heaven?
Pope: It's nice that a son says that
about his father , that he
"was good."
Do you think that God would
be able to leave a man like him
far from him ?
Do you think that ?
The Pope speaks to the crowd "louder ,
with courage , No ! says the crowd.
The Pope : Does God abandon his
children ? No ! says the crowd.
The Pope speaks to the boy: Here
Emanuele , this is the answer
God surely was proud of your
father, because it is easier
when one is a believer to
baptize his children , than
to baptize them when you
are an unbeliever.
Surely God liked this so
much.
Talk to your Dad,
Pray for your Dad.
Thanks Emanuele
for your courage !
