What a great reminder not to let the falling trees discourage us, either…we can pray for them as they fall without fearing that the whole forest is ruined.

I had the same reaction to that line — YES!!! He was so spot-on with that statement, and it is so quotable…at last, a pope who “gets” the media and modern communications while upholding the faith.
