This touched my heart very much, and I suspect that Pope Francis actually taking the time to respond to this young man in prison did more to set him on the road to conversion that anything else.

I think I’ll zip him off a letter too. Maybe he will take pity on me as well. :)👍
 
What a great story!

Praying for him and remembering Jesus’ words, “He who comes to me I will not cast out”

(John 6:37)
