Pope Francis’ message was: Compassion. Let us see where in our lives we can show compassion. To whom can we show more compassion? Even if it is to just one person, the world will be a better place.

Re: Honouring the National Anthem
Extremely well said!
In a very succinct way, you’ve captured the essence of the issue. Stay still, stand proud. We are acknowledging the depth and breadth of Canada. With these few moments of our complete attention, we are focused on the totality of our history to the moment: the great, the alright, the bad. And without forethought, we are expressing hope for a united, satisfying future.

Another winning newsletter! Respect the national anthem and each other. Respect begets respect.
—Cathy Nesbitt
Yes! It is the National Anthem of Canada. That is respectful. So, I would rather say: Let’s sing our National Anthem, rather than Let’s sing ” O Canada”.
—Erik Gero
Excellent reminder. It also brings to mind the way people walk up and down in Church during the prayer time. They enter while the prayer is going on etc. Where is the etiquette in people doing these things?
