When the cardinals of the Catholic Church vote for the next pope, they will do so in front of a masterpiece: Michelangelo’s fresco of “The Last Judgment.”

I remember seeing Pope Francis twice: His visit to D.C. in 2015 & World Youth Day in Kraków in 2016.
Two things struck me:
1) He saw, listened to, and believed in young people.
2) He always asked people to pray for him. (It's something I try to do now too!)
