Pietro Schiliro meets Pope Francis: "It was like meeting Jesus."
Pietro Schiliro, the Italian child whose healing at the intercession of Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, led to their beatification in 2008, met Pope Francis in Rome on March 29, 2014. Thanks to the Web site of the Shrine at Alencon (www.louiszeliemartin.com/eng), I have been permitted to post the photo of this encounter here and to share Mary Davidson's translation of the brief and moving first-person essay Pietro, now 11, wrote about this encounter. Please read Pietro Schiliro's testimony about his meeting with Pope Francis here.
