I was touched by the excitement of this generation and also by one particular Latina girl. \u00a0She was interviewed by a reporter who asked her <i>why<\/i> she was so excited to see Pope Francis. To paraphrase, she enthusiastically declared that Pope Francis helps her believe in her dreams. As I thought about the political climate and the immigration reform issue, one overwhelming thought came to mind. Pope Francis is helping her to dream, while some people in our political system are trying to take away the dreams of many Hispanic families in our country. I am so grateful that our next generation has such a great role model who embodies love. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have photos or memories to share from the visit of Pope Francis?\u00a0 Send them to <a href=\"mailto:president@trinitydc.edu\">president@trinitydc.edu <\/a>or comment below<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a week with Pope Francis!
