His Holiness Pope Leo XLV
Casa Santa Marta. 00120 Vatican City. Italy
From: Luke Foster
Dear Leo,
I am an Australian artist and writer and I have an art project where I give my art to all who help me and those I respect for example the community transport workers who volunteer to drive me when I have appointments or to go shopping in town, the staff at the hospital, the community library and people in the community I meet but also I send boxes of art to world leaders, prominent international galleries and others.
In the box for you and everyone at the Vatican are mainly drawings of predominately the Catholic Saints such as Saint Francis and Mary MacKillop.
My favourite MacKillop quote is:
“Never see a need without doing something about it.”
My favourite Saint Francis quote is:
“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
Cheers Luke Foster
