Fr Anthony Le Duc SVD is based in Bangkok, part of the SVD AUS Province, and when Pope Francis visited nearby Myanmar on November 29, he was at the Papal Mass and managed to get a few great photos of the Holy Father on his phone, which he posted to social media.
Here, he reflects on whether in getting those photos, he missed the opportunity for a more personal encounter with the Pope.
