Some people know who they are fully at very early ages.

Meet Nathan de Brito, the little boy who broke past barriers to run into Pope Francis' arms at World Youth Day, in order to tell him something that moved the pontiff to tears.

They embraced on the Popemobile as de Brito confided to Pope Francis, "Your Holiness, I want to be a priest of Christ, a representative of Christ."

Pope Francis beamed at the small child in the Brazilian national soccer team jersey and told him, "I am going to pray for you, but I ask you to pray for me." He wiped tears from his eyes as he embraced de Brito and told him, "As of today, your vocation is set."

After exiting the Popemobile, the video shows de Brito blowing the Pope a kiss before covering his face with his hands, completely overwhelmed by the incredible experience.

Watch the Video - it's in Portuguese but easily comprehensible.

Thank you for that. I heard not a word of this happening until you informed us at FR. That particular child already is a proper representative of Christ, in my uneducated opinion.
