Heartwarming Moment Girl Evades Security To Deliver Message To Pope

A five-year-old girl, Sophie Cruz was able to pass through thousands of people and security protecting Pope Francis to deliver a message to him during the papal parade in Washington D.C.

Sophie, daughter to illegal immigrants was stopped by security as she approached the open-air popemobile, but was allowed through when the Pope noticed the determined young girl.

According to the Mirror, after receiving a kiss on the cheek from the Pope, Sophie delivered her message which turned out be an important one.

It read: “I believe I have the right to live with my parents, I have the right to be happy. All immigrants just like my dad help feed this country. They deserve to live with dignity. They deserve to live with respect. They deserve an immigration reform.” Sophie also added a hand-drawn picture of Pope Francis holding hands with children of different ethnicities.

Sophie who plans to give US president Barrack Obama a letter one day, has been invited to watch the pope’s address to Congress on Thursday where it is believed he will talk about immigration.
