Human Beings

To excel as a human being, the lives of others, one should first consider!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 17 April 2016 *The leaders of the eastern and western churches were on Lesbos, Greece, yesterday for to show solidarity with asylum seekers. The pope was joined by the ecumenical patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church Bartholomew I and Archbishop of Athens Ieronymos II. The religious leaders visited migrants in the camp, Moria. The Pope thanked the Greek people for having welcomed more than a million migrants last year, in spite the economic hardships the Greeks face. Migrants held signs saying "We are Humans"

This is so true. I read where the Pope took 12 Syrian refugees back to the Vatican. He leads by an example we should all follow.

Yes, he did Tim! He took the number of the Apostles with him! Yes, we should all follow his example! The Greek people have shown better than anyone else in Europe what is to be human!
