The Pope celebrated on Sunday by reflecting on the joy of children and the importance that they are raised with the faith. He said about the choice to spend his birthday helping out the kids, “the joy of children is a treasure, and we ought to do everything so that they continue to be joyous.” The pizza that Pope Francis requested was a 13-foot long selection, which has one large candle for the birthday boy himself to blow out while backed by the children. He then encouraged the children to eat the pizza, saying it will make them grow.

Pope Francis encouraged the children to speak with their grandparents. Grandparents “have memory, have roots, and it will be the grandparents that give roots to the children,” he said. Before eating, he prayed the Hail Mary with the children. People on Twitter have long been big fans of Pope Francis, and a 13-foot pizza–especially one that helps sick children–is even more reason to love the man.

French police say a homeless man found a huge amount of cash last week at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle Airport and was able to leave the complex with 300,000 euros (354,180 USD). According to Airport police union official Jean-Yann William, video surveillance showed the man looking in the trash and leaning against a nearby door and that “to his surprise, the door is opening, he’s entering and finds out there’s huge amount of money” in the room of cash transport company Loomis. An investigation has been opened but there is currently no trace of the thief. Hit us up on Facebook and Twitter and tell us what you would do if you found $354,000 laying around at the airport.
