Francis Comes Up with a Solution for the “Sign of Peace”
During his April 29 homily, Francis announced that he had received a letter from a certain 18-year old Andrea from Caravaggio,
“Letters from teenagers, from children, are beautiful for the concreteness,” Francis raved.
Andrea wrote that the invitation during Francis' Eucharists to give a sign of peace wasn't appropriate “because with the pandemic, we can't touch each other.”
Francis replied that Andrea couldn't see from the live-stream that those attending the Eucharists, “nod at each other with their head” for the sign of peace.
In the meantime, Andrea’s mother revealed to EcoDiBergamo.it that Andrea received a phone-call from Francis while shopping at the supermarket.
On the occasion, Francis promised to send him a papal zucchetto because Andrea is a lover of ecclesiastical clothes and accessories, which likely doesn't go down well with Francis, but, seemingly, he put up a smiling front.
