Seated among cardinals and bishops inside Vatican City, Dustin Plantholt experienced a rare perspective — one shaped by centuries of history, tradition, and faith.

As Pope Francis delivered his message, the moment carried a weight that extended far beyond ceremony.

From Dustin:
“Seated alongside the cardinals and bishops at the Vatican, a perspective few are granted. As Pope Francis @franciscus imparts his message, I’m reminded of the immense impact of faith and love in our lives. With you all, I share this profound intersection of history, duty, and deep belief, all rooted in ❤️.”
