Sick child sings for Pope Francis

People often ask why papal trips matter. The faces of the children Pope Francis met at a hospital in Mexico on Sunday are a pretty good answer.



At Federico Gomez Pediatric Hospital in Mexico City, Pope Francis prayed, hugged and even doled out medicine to a little boy.

In the cancer ward, a young patient sang a beautiful a capella version of "Ave Maria" to the pontiff. H clearly enjoyed it. (see video here)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMMvJizCWQc. The Pope is in Mexico through February 17, when he will celebrate Mass near the U.S. border in Juarez.
