Pope Francis - Person of the Year

"2013 was the year that Pope Francis captured the world’s attention and admiration. 2014 and beyond will be the years in which Catholics of all walks of life must follow his example, take up their own apostolic work and lead people to Christ. Ultimately, Pope Francis’s goal is not to win accolades from magazines; his goal is to bring people to the Eucharist, where the mercy and love of God are most perfectly present. This is the goal of every Catholic around the world: to come into contact with the living Christ during our lifetime on earth, and to lead others toward an eternity in communion with Christ. This is the challenge that is set before our Pope — and each of us — as we move forward from a joyous 2013." (Christopher Crawford)
