stef no is here with me. she has spina bifida. and she has a rare condition and she joins me here in the studio. stephanie it is great to meety you. when i saw the coverage of saint patrick's cathedral will and he stopped and zeroed in on you. what an emotional moment. it was an emotional will moment. what was it like? >> it was so amazing. he came down the aisle and i started crying and i was in tears. i just couldn't believe it. it felt like he was right there with me. and all of those people clapping and clearing, it was just amazing. i was so blessed. >> it was incredible to see the pope on the left side of the

screen going into the parade and we are seeing movement and it begins with the emergency vehicles and you will see the pope entering the p raid. and they are standing poi and catching and stephanie, you were touched in a way that few kids were touched. you were blessed by the pope and this is not the first time you have met the pope. it is one thing to meet one in a life time. you have met two. >> i actually pope benedict in 208. and he originally blessed me for my back surgery and it was a difficult time in my life, after that i was so sick. and i wont breath. i was on a breathing tube for six months and i was prone on my

stomach, and not in my wheel and on a stretcher. i had a breathing tube and can couldn't breath. >> this was before the met the pope the first time in 2008. nlook stef no. you are watching with me. look over in that monitor on the left side of the screen. you can see pope francis arriving on his pope mobile as he joins the parade. and we get to see it in new york city. and people there are beyond excited to be a part of this. this is a celebrities and performers. and listen to the mood right now.

[applause] [cheering]

>> there you can see pope francis parading in the outer liance. he will do this before both events. he has the festival that will begin at 7:30. parade of festival and families and that's the event that people had to get tickets to in order to so him up close and personal. and co-sponsored for the family council arch diocese of philadelphia. this whole event and bringing the pope in philadelphia cost $12 million to bring the pope in to new york. and if you are one of the few that got it meet him like stef

no here in my studio, you are one of the lucky ones and you are so lucky and you talked about the challenges that you had to endower and the physical challenges. >> and i thought i was never in my life. i never thought that i was going to come out of that surgery. if it was not for dr. roy and dr. rue, i don't think i would have survived. >> what was it like to mote the pope after going through this? >> oh, my god, it felt like a blessing. >> you feel like your body was touched in a special way. >> in a healing way? >> in a healing sort of way. i started to get goose bumps son as i saw it, i immediately got

gosbumps. i am crying. i am just so blessed to have family and people who care about me, so much. i mean. >> i am so touched that you are able to meet the pope and share the story. that's what this is all about. there are so many people touched boy people in their lives. and they turn to religion and god in a difficult moment of their lives. i you you were lifted by the doctors and friends and family. >> and nurses. >> and being able to be in the presence of a man so close to god, what did that mean to you. >> it meant so much to me and meant the world to me. it really did.

he right now, pope francis is going around logan's circle and making his way in city hall. there are 18000 people that signed up for that. most attended of the eight world meetings and that is doubled registration than in miowa lan. and there are more than 100 countries and the highest number of reg strants in united states, canada and mexico and pakistan and vietnam. this is incredible. last time this event happen was in 1994. saint john paul ii celebrated them. and this is one in the united states that no one will forget. they had to get tickets in order to mote. and all of the people on on the parkway are getting a free show

and a lucky one indeed as they watch the pope arrive in philadelphia. >> ray flynn, and stephanie, i am honored to have you here and i feel touched boy -- pie meeting you. ray flynn is the former mayor. and he joins me now. tell me what you are thinking when you watch what is going on, on the screen. >> let me touch on something from the cathedral. i saw the anticipation leading up to the visit of francis to the united states, in particularly in to new york city. my eyes were riveted on

stephanie as the holy father walked down the aisle. i knew he would go over to her, he has a passion for special needs and handicapped which were and people. he's done this reportedly throughout his life and for parents and grand parents like me who have a child that is special needs, you can't imagine the overwhelming feeling of joy and pride in seeing that when the holy father goes out of his way to bless a child like that. i don't like to say this. but in society today, we don't show the level of respect for parents of special needs children that we should. as a matter of fact, i don't think we do the necessary medical research to help find

cures for problems like stephanie and my grandson who was born with a rare neurological disease. and when you see pope francis go over to her and greet the kids with down syndrome, it sends an extraordinary message. you can go to the white house and united nation and united states capitol, but my impression of all of the things that the holy father has deputy in the trip to the the united states, those kind gestures like he showed to stephanie and those children with down syndrome and other people that he reached out to with disabilities and handicaps that's what the character of pope francis is really about.

that's the message the people of this country will remember long after he goes back to rome. >> why was the pope so intent on coming to the festival. >> if the truth is known, he has a difficult time getting around. he his nerve problems and ski attica and difficult walking. i still talk to the aides, and that is it a challenge to keep up the ardous extraordinary pace. but he knew in the changing society and culture, where there is not a real focus on the family by government, government is ignoring the family in fact. he felt an obligation and

a responsibility morally to come to the united states and participate in the world conference of families. i talked to the person who headed it up in the vatican. a great friend mine, he and i worked together. he was in rome when i was a united states ambassador. he is a social justice profit. he put it together. and he was so proud and worked so hard to make it happen. this is a high priority for the holy father. and yes, of course, immigration and persecution of the christians and catholics is high on the agenda, but so are the families. the family when you think about it is the foundation of society. and if the family is in disarray

and the family is not strong, society will not be strong and that's when dictators and terrorist prevail is when the family is not strong. >> ray flynn, thank you very much and you will be joining us for the special two hours of the pope's visit to philadelphia. former ambassador to the vatican. we want our viewers involved and if you are not one of the thousands on the shines in philadelphia watching the pope stroll down the parkway in the pope mobile. we want you to weigh in on twitter. congress and the u.n. and 9/11 memorial. and the children. what was the most impactful part of the pope's trip. tweet me at julie banderas and i

will try to read them later on on in the program. working on my feet all day gave me pain here. in my knees. but now, i step on this machine and get my number which matches my dr. scholl's custom fit orthotic inserts. now i get immediate relief from my foot pain. my knee pain. find a machine at drscholls.com

>> joining us now for more on the pope's visit. we have father johnathon morris. what a fine week this has been. >> it is, especially those nor pope francis right now. i have e-mails and facebook posts. and i am only five miles and i can't get in because of security and i didn't get a ticket. and so it shows how many people want to be close to him. >> you know, it is incredible. philadelphia spent 12 million. i don't know the estimate in new york city. last time a pope visited here it

was 6 or 8 million. philadelphia lit regularly locked the city down. someone who couldn't get to the thing. it is incredible. despite the the nerves that secret service are feeling because this man loves to get out there and touch and bless the people. what makes the pope different in the way he loves to outreach. >> he decide right from the beginning, that he would not lead with contentious issues but lead with mercy. he talked about that over and over again. lead from mercy and point of mercy and compassion and love. you build truth and i think that is what he's trying to do and people recognize. it>> it is just moments away. the reason why the pope came to

[applause] >> during our court ship and engagement, we have struggled to live with virtue as we believe it is the surest path to happy marriage and best way to get to know each other. we want our relationship to be a true friendship and strengthened boy pure love for each other and greater for our lord. to this end, we have prayed the rosary and attended mass together and received the sakrament of penance regularly. like any couple we have fears about getting married. in our country, there is a high rate of divorce, and we often wonder, how can we be sure that this will not happen to us?

furthermore, we are concerned about the increased push to change the legal definition of marriage and what that means for and you say our children and our community and societies. we are further concerned about being able to provide for our future family should economic circumstances change. we hope to be able to get the message. but we are worried about shortage in rural australia where we intend to live. we are filled with hope, hope that we will be able to, hope. >> those are one of the many families that are presenting questions and comments to the pope. we are going to hear from the rock band the fray, among many others. aretha franklin will be there

and we are back at the festival now. we are waiting for the pope to speak. but in the meantime they have a presentation for hip. >> you know, in this age when all of the messages seem to be negative and sensational against something. it is wonderful to hear the positive messages about something that is happening in people's lives and how they should feel about their future and marriage and family and children and whatever. i mean, it is it an extraordinary message. i don't think i've heard it in the media in the last number of years and even in politics, the message that seems to be the most effective is the negingative message and the person who surfaces is the person who tears other people down. and we have a program with families in philadelphia and

what is the message. positive things that are happening in people's lives and their family and children and even with with the challenges they face, they still hook at it from a positive outlook. that is a credit to the message here of the holy in his visit to the united states. and accenteating the positive as opposed to the negative. >> that is thorough and couldn't be more well put. he does acce positive but not afraid of the the negative. he spoke before congress and not afraid to talk with about controversial issues. he doesn't shy away from politics. >> yeah, that is exactly true. but he does it in such a way, he give people not only the

negative outlook but positive. and they look forward to and so happening in their life. he's hadap impact and interesting how he made the rounds from washington to new york to philadelphia. he's surrounded boy so many american celebrities and mark wahlberg is host of this. what many people don't know about mark, he attends mass every single sunday. >> every single day. >> every day, are you serious? >> at lost that's his habit which issa traditional habit. >> and i am sorry, ambassador. >> i am sorry, father. i was his mayor and i anyhow his mother and family and this is true. the family had challenges to be

honest with you. and look at them now. it is not where you've been but where you are going that is important in god's eyes. and mark wahlberg credits the success to his faith and it is it an honor to welcome pope francis to philadelphia. and so far he's doing an excellent job. and laura ingle is there in the festival of the families and she's watching it live. and how many people are attending this. i know they have many tickets and there are always more demands and supply at an event like this. >> the parkway is packed and we are told to expect 500000 people at tonight's event. 1.5 million tomorrow in all of philadelphia for the mass. that happens tomorrow. and for tonight, the festival of families, julia.

running back ran 70 yards for a fourth quarter touchdown and then he gracefully took a knee and prayed something that no one had done before. herb luck has been a senior pastor with the baptist church since 1982 and committed himself to being of service to those affected for those in poverty. he will read the story of the prodiggal sun. go eagles. [applause] my brothers and sisters in the lord, listen to the words of the holy gospel according to st. john. and he says, a man hatting two

sons. the younger son said to his father, father give me my share of your estate. that it should come to me. and the father devoided the property between them. after a few days, the younger son collected all of his belongings and set off for a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of disaipation. when he had freely spent everything a severe famine struck that country and he found in dire need. >> that is the former philadelphia running back reading the gospel of st. louk. more performances as well. aretha franklin and kwans.

we all feel the calling to build something great. ♪ >> this is one of the families speaking to the pope. this is the ukrainian family. this must be so nerve wracking for the family because they are talking about their struggles and the last couple was kind of talking about their relationship and it is interesting the ideas written down on paper and a once in a lifetime opportunity to address the pope. >> you are right. this is it a way of connecting the families with the pope in

a way that represents all of the thousands and hundreds of thousands of families that are there and watching from around the world and saying family life is not a theory, it is it a reality and sometimes it is messy and tough. but this is where we are starting from and holy father in the day and half. teach us as families how we can be better and happier and encounter god. it is you are not hearing the most fascinating thing but real life is like in the homes. >> and the whole theme is the festival of the families and what more important than to hear from the families all around the world. i have been reaching out on twitter and tapping in to how everyone feels about the pope's visit and what was the most impactful part of the pope's

trip. and so many people were touched by the visit though they did not meet him in person like these people have. pope francis brought all men and women together in love and peace and compassion if only for a little while. and sippedy lou who said this. he's brought joy and happiness back in a country that was long suppressed and oppressed in christianity. his message is radical mercy and love and everyone from the walk of life needs mercy and grace. love pope francis. >> and that is the pope's message. his mercy. >> and certainly also truth and he said uknock to pope francis. lead with mercy and start with mercy. and as you are giving the gospel lead with mercy and sounds like

jesus and what he did with zachias. he said come down and let's go to your house and have dinner. and that's leading with mercy. >> ambassador flynn, he is former ambassador to the vatican, ray flynn is with me as well. and tell me. when we hear from the families and the love is our mission and the family fully alive, right now, what do you believe the pope in his message probably would be the point he would want to make to the families as they address him? >> it is very, very important for all important people to hear from real people out in the neighborhoods that have various communities in the world. often times, political leaders

and presidents and prime ministers, even popes get isolated and they don't get a chance it meet and listen to the stories of different people. this is a unique format. you are seeing a family forum and the voices of families are heard all over the world. it is amazing. and one little thing. if you are hearing distractions aside, i am baby-sitting my grandson braddon. he is nine years old and right here with me. but anyway. i was thinking about the entertainers. we are talking about the entertainers and i remember flying back to rome, with john paul ii and he said wow, america has some great entertainers, don't they ambassador ray.

i was impressed by the performers today. and that was frank patterson. and mra senio domingo. and doesn't it say that it is all people from different backgrounds and walks of life and speaking of families, we do hear your grandchild behaving so well. i would not be able to do a live interview and i can tell will you, you are doing a good job. look at what is going on here. he can join you on camera and so close to tv. he wants to be on it. >> and the pope is meeting with multiple families there.

>> and the jordan, the kingdom of jordan has welcomed 1.4 million refugees that is affected this family here. it is it a small country and they have taken in a huge number of refugees and they have accepted them and those refugees turned out to be peaceful and good people. and i think what they are expressing to the pope is their experiences of followers of jesus living in tough time. >> we hope that turkey, example would follow. >> i would hope. you can see all of the hundreds of thousands of refugees showing up on european showers right now with no place to go and often rejected and understandably out of forepercent but there is it an emergency situation and how

we have to as members of one human family reach out a hand and that's what jordan has done. >> ray flynn, joining us again. we have seen people who are just smiling ear to ear. people in new york city and washington d.c. and now in philadelphia, and i want to ask you, ambassador, any lasting impact for the church after this trip? >> i think it really resinanted in terms of average families and people who don't get this level of attention, to be in the presence of the holy father and to express their point of view about their life and family. it is not just the individual family that is doing this. but represent millions of families throughout the world and counsel rows. it makes us feel proud that the holy father would spend time and

resinant. he's done more good in the relationships with the catholic church than my 76 years i have seen on the earth. >> fate years for the pope and you watch the pope to stand up and greet the family. he locks tired and he's had a long week with. he appears a bit frail to you. people are saying to me on twitter. send him home. he needs to rest. gosh, i hope when he gets to the vatican he would take a few days of rest. the world needs him for a long time to come. i can't imagine you saw him sit down hard. and he gets up. he can barely walk a now steps. he has a sciowa a ticka nerve

problem. he loves to bless the problem. >> last saint to be canonized. his daughter will join us to read a letter written by her mother. [applause] when i think of our great recip proical love, i can do nothing but thank the lord. that it is the most beautiful sentiment that god has begin to us. and we always love each other as

we do now pedro. my dear pedro, thank you for everything. i want to tell you all that i feel, all that is in my heart. but i can't. but you already know what my feelings are. so you must know how to understand me. dearest pedro, i am sure that you will always make me as happy as i am now. and this is we listen to you praying and coming from a heart that has always loved him and

served him in that saintly way. pedro, how much i have to learn from you. you are such a fine example for me and i thank you for it. we have got all we can to make our new family. jesus will rain. and all of our desires and actions. my pedro, our wedding is just a few days away now, and i feel very moved to be be so near receiving the sakrament of love.

we will be be working, together. in his creation. in this way, we can be children who love and serve him. pedro, we will be a wife and mother you have always wanted. i hope so. because you deserve it and i love you so much. i kiss you and embrace you, with all of my love gianna. >> that was gianna.

daughter of the patron say the of preborn children. her mother was beatified poi saint paul ii and canonized boy a saint and she was reading a leader written boy her mother and the reason why she is there. sainthod is not only for religious and popes and profits. it is a call union versal call from god from all of us. and be be close to him as we possibly can. >> our fourth family is about to celebrate her 24th wedding anniversary. they are here from nigeria and

talk about injuries and healing and marriages and families. >> and so we have another family getting a chance to greet the pope. i wonder how long they put together. and some were memorrized and these are written on several pages. one and only chance to get it right. i can imagine the nerves are incredible and we want to watch this and then we have many more performances and then the pope francis will be addressing the tens of thousands in this festival and we'll carry it for you live on fox. stay here for a special fox report. back after the break. you total your brand new car. nobody's hurt,but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay

a nigerian family there addressing the pope. and boy, what a whirlwind day it has been for pope francis. the pontiff woke up in new york, but didn't stay long, departing for philadelphia around 8:30 this morning. the pope caught on camera hanging out in the cockpit during the flight. and then, there he goes, it's off to the cathedral basilica of saints peter and paul where he celebrated mass with oh, about 1,600 people. then after that the pope traveled to a seminary to greet about 100 men training to enter the priesthood. his holiness joined the group in singing "happy birthday" to archbishop charles chaput, then he moved on to philadelphia's

independence mall, delivering a speech on religious freedom and immigration at independence hall, the birthplace of this nation and modern democracy. and so it continues. we expected that the pope would be speaking some time about, oh, i don't know, an hour ago, and this performance is not over. i mean, the performances are many yet to come. jonathan, father morris, you know, you just talk about how busy this guy has been. i just went through this list of all the events. and let's not forget, this wasn't just a trip to the united states. right before this, he was in cuba and did a lot there. he certainly is leaving an impactful message to people around the world. what would you hope would be the greatest message that he leaves behind him when he heads back? >> just look at him. he's listening. that's hard for any of us at any time. he's doing that after that grueling schedule that you just said.

and he's listening to real problems. this is not sugar coated. this is people from all over the world, this is the world congress of families. and he's listening to them and then he's greeting them. and watch him walk. i mean, he can barely get up there. this is not an easy thing. and i think what he's doing to us the in actions is, go and do what you know you should do. go and love. go and follow the great commandment of jesus, to love one another, and to love our neighbors, as ourselves. to love our enemies. and, of course, to love them in a way that they can feel love. and that's what he's doing right now. >> and a touching moment there. i mean, his joy in his face, i can't imagine what it's like to see that face-to-face, because watching on television brings a smile to your fame. >> this family, leownna and rudy gonzalez, are grandparents and great-grandparents of 12 children.

they're here from new york in north america to discuss their experience for the importance and need for extended the family. please welcome them. [ applause ] >> another family there heads to the podium, to address the pope. and it's quite incredible to see the international presence, because, as you know, there are many families from all around the world. there will be a family from the united states. families of a variety of ages. we saw young children here. another family. >> we are the gonzalez family. i am leona, my husband, rudy. two of our five children are here. franchesca claus, carlina gonzalez, and two of our

grandchildren, representing our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. raising our children -- excuse me -- and now spendingng ones h responsibility as well as a wonderful joy. rudy and i grew up during a period of trying times, the great depression, world war ii, and a deep social bias that continues on into today. rudy was born and raised in chicago, a city boy. while i, a country girl, was raised on indian nation. as children, we did not know that we were financially poor. we both had a roof over our heads and the constant love and encouragement of terrific parents and between the two of

us, we only knew one grandparent. and i wonder, in what ways would life have been different if we had the older generation to help us grow up. rudy and i were blessed to become parents. to have the opportunity to guide our children and now our grandchildren, and even when it is a challenging as parents, as grandparents, we acquire a great many responsibilities, most welcome, some not. but one aspect we feel very strongly about is as grandparents, we can help support parents by countering some of the destructive

influences out in society. we can help teach the next generation what truly matters. our children were raised on or near native american reservations in arizona, which is a very different way and form than the way rudy and i grew up. among many native peoples, the word "grandfather" is often used in starting prayers. "grandfather" used in an exalted manner, chief, blessed, hallowed, supreme. that places him in a position of extreme importance in the minds of his people, who seek his

wisdom, so that they may live in peace and harmony with all who live on mother earth. the wisdom of grandparents can help to minimize in the lives of the young the many struggles that they have experienced. parents and grandparents must continually work hard to instill faith in their young family members. we try to be a good role model and teach object the importance of faith and how to help, cultivate, believe in our lord, jesus christ, guiding family members towards the great love of god. and how to grow in relationships with him. we try to help bring peace and harmony within our family. it is not as easy as it may

sound but augmenting our attempts with prayer can help ease the stress of the responsibilities we face in giving direction. our faith, our belief in the existence of our creator, our god has told us through many difficult times together. through the love of god and of god's church, our faith and determination become stronger each and every day. we are far from an ideal family, but by the grace of god, through the sacramensacrament, and withp of the saints, we continue to care for our family and pass on the wisdom of grandparents. holy father, we thank you for this blessed opportunity and we ask that you pray for all of us, so we can give our families

plenty -- >> and there you have the american family speaking to the pope, the fifth family among many who have this rare and excellent opportunity. the festival of the families continues. our coverage continues. i'm julie bandera. "judge janine" starts right now. hello and welcome to justice. i'm judge janine firo. thanks for being with us tonight. you are looking live at the festival of families in philadelphia where pope francis will speak in just a few moments. we'll continue to bring you these live pictures as we talk about the pope's historic visit. i'm joined by father robert sirico, president of the aspen institute, and president and ceo of the catholic league for religious and civil rights, bill donohue. all right, gentleman, father, and bill, thank you so much for being with us. we're watching this festival of families, which i
