In today's society, there are images that go around the world in a matter of seconds, shared on social media thanks to phones and PCs: thousands, millions, if not billions of people often unwittingly find themselves looking at the same snapshot. There are lines, colors and shapes that vanish in the swirl of sharing, others remain etched in the memory forever, and still others are kept exclusively in the heart.
In six days the Pope traveled across Canada touching the peripheries of the heart as well as the geographical ones, reaching as far as the edge of the Arctic Circle where the largest Inuit community on the planet lives. In Iqaluit he met with residential school alumni at one of the four elementary schools - the dreadful institution created to re-educate indigenous people torn from their families, sites of atrocities and violence.
The Pope's presence was a"blessing and a gift," said Chief Wilton Littlechild, stressing that now"the work begins." Littlechild is the indigenous chief survivor of the residential schools, now 78 years old, who gave the Pope an Indian headdress at the meeting at Bear Park Pow-Wow Grounds in Maskwacis.
