"If you could have one superpower what would it be?" This is just one of the questions that Pope Francis answered in his new book.
A 7-year-old child named William from Chicago has raised that question to the pontiff. According to his family, the question contained on the letter was sent last year and it was the time of superhero movies that William had been asking almost everyone about the same question so he wanted to know the Pope's answers too as to him, miracles were like a superpower that Jesus had.
Pope Francis' answered that his miracle would be to heal children.
The family of William was so happy and surprised to hear that the Pope had cried because of his letter and that the pontiff like his drawing along with the letter.
The Pope has reached out to children again from all over 26 countries as he offered them a new book entitled "Dear Pope Francis".
"But these are tough questions!" the Pope exclaimed when he saw all the letters sent to him from children in different countries.
"Dear Pope Francis" was initiated by Loyola Press, a Catholic publisher. They solicited letters from kids ages from 6 to 13 years old to write letters to the pontiff. The publisher collected 30 letters and compiled it on the book.
Ivan, a 13-year-old child from Shanghai, China had brought a status of Our Lady of Sheshan and chopsticks for the Pope during the meeting with the Pope. Ivan said that he wanted the Pope to learn to use the chopsticks so that the pontiff could learn before coming to the Chinese country.
Here is one of the letters that were sent to the Pope.
"Between the bridge and the river, there is a mercy of God."
Letter from Ivan, 13, China, who writes:
Your holiness,
Will my grandpa, a non-Catholic who is not a person willing to do something evil, go to heaven when he dies? In other words, if someone never makes any penances, how big a sin must he commit for him to go down to hell?
God bless you,
Ivan
