Grab a tissue and prepare to get misty-eyed as a scared little boy whispers, "Is my Dad in Heaven? " to the Pope, who responds with solace, comfort, and grace.

Pope Francis visited the St. Paul Parish in Rome. The Pope typically expects to give God's words of wisdom, and he expects to meet with people in need of direction, comfort, and inspiration. I'm willing to bet he wasn't expecting a child to ask him about where his father might be.

A brave and curious little boy had a question burning a hole inside his broken heart. Emanuele walked up to the microphone. But as he looked at his surroundings, stage fright overcame him.

The Pope then invited Emanuele to whisper his question into the Pope's ear. Emanuele shyly walked over and crumbled into the arms of the Pope. It was as if he needed a warm embrace from his heavenly father and whispered the question that he desperately wanted answers to.

“Is my Dad in Heaven?”
