Wow #PopeFrancis has #GOOGLE Chat with Disabled Children from around the World - SHARE!

Pope Francis had an Internet chat with disabled children from around the world. The Pontiff, spoke with children via Google Hangout which was sponsored by Scholas Occurrentes. This was for the last day of the organization's World Educational Congress held at the Vatican. The children participating came from Spain, Brazil, Argentina, the United States, and India. Alicia, a 16 year old , with Down syndrome from Spain asked the Holy Father: "Do you like taking pictures and uploading them onto your computer?" The Pope answered: "Do you want me to tell you the truth? I am clumsy with computers; I don't know how to use a computer. How embarrassing, right?"  Isaiah Bower, from Nebraska, USA, asked what the Pope does in a difficult situation. "First, to not get angry, there is no need to get angry; be calm. Then, look for a way to overcome it, to surpass it," the Pope said. "And if I cannot surpass it, then I must withstand it until the ability to surpass it comes along. There is no need to be afraid of difficulties, ever. We are capable of overcoming them all. We only need time to understand them, the intelligence to look for the right path, and the courage to move forward. But never be afraid." “When you communicate, you give the best you have inside, and you receive the best from others, and that is very important,” he said. “When we don’t communicate, we stay alone with our limitations, and that is bad for us.” “If we keep it inside, it stays there inside,” he said. “When we share it with others, the treasure multiplies itself, for that treasure is for others…Because of sharing, you receive from others and it multiplies.” "What I want to tell you is to not hide the treasure that each one of you have," he said. Pope Francis concluded saying: "That’s what I wanted to tell you kids. Go forward! What you do, in the place that you're in, helps all of us to understand that life is a beautiful treasure but it only has meaning if we give it."
