Jerome Loines sits on the streets he calls home near Times Square in New York Sept. 25. He said he was able to catch a glimpse of Pope Francis from afar the evening before. "I'm really feeling this guy," he said of Francis. "I'm out here on the street for a really long time now... but the pope has a message of hope."
