Rita Avila receives a letter from Pope Francis

Rita Avila does not only have an acting career, but she is also an author for children’s books.

She gave copies of her first and third book to our holy father, Pope Francis. The books are entitled “8 Ways to Comfort with Grace” and “The Invisible Wings”.

“8 Ways to Comfort with Grace” aims to help people in grief, and help would-be comforters how to do so and “The Invisible Wings” is a children’s book about angels and children.

The actress then received a thank you letter from the Vatican the same month of her son Ellia’s death anniversary.

Rita posted on her Instagram account a picture of the letter, written was “Dear Mrs. Avila, The Holy Father wishes me to express his gratitude for the kind gift of inscribed copies of your books. He appreciates the sentiments which prompted you to share your writings with him. His Holiness will remember you and your husband in his prayers. He invokes upon you God’s blessings of strength and peace, Msgr. Peter Wells”.

Rita and her husband, director Erick Reyes, were overwhelmed by the letter.
