In this Sunday’s gospel, Jesus surprises the disciples by accompanying them on the road to Emmaus and revealing himself to them as they broke bread. Attendees of a TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Vancouver were treated to a surprise revelation of their own Tuesday when Pope Francis appeared on the screen before them to give a TED Talk calling for a “revolution of tenderness” and warning those in power to act responsibly or “your power will ruin you.”

“Tenderness is not weakness; it is fortitude. It is the path of solidarity, the path of humility.”

A team of 40 TED translators worked together to create subtitles in 20 languages for the pope’s TED talk.
