Pope Francis goes off script and wows his audience

“Wow.” That’s the first word that came to mind for CNN’s Chris Cuomo after Pope Francis delivered an impromptu speech about the family
On Saturday night, the final evening of his historic visit to America, Pope Francis had spent two hours enjoying music and festivities along with thousands of others who had assembled for the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. He also closely listened as six immigrant families shared their stories of struggle, love, faith, and hope.

When it came time for the pope to deliver a speech, he completely ditched his prepared remarks and spoke from the heart. Pope Francis didn’t simply ad-lib a few lines; he threw out the entire 2-page speech which had been distributed to the media. Commentators correctly noted that his remarks were passionate, animated, and powerful. The mark of an inspired communicator is whether he or she can tell the audience what they need to know at the moment, and be willing to go off script if he or she deems it necessary to connect with the audience.
