Choices of the Heart: Time's Person of the Year

USA Today: Pope gets nod over Miley Cyrus for 'Person of the Year'

Miley Cyrus: A pop star who was raised to be a person of faith, but she spent 2013 making a name for herself as an example of a heart given over to being as self-indulgent as she can.

Pope Francis: New leader of a religious organization that too often emphasizes ritual over grace, but he made a name for himself as an example of a heart given over to being as Christlike as he can.

We can learn some important lessons from both of these imperfect people.

And we should all make the choice to bow our hearts in prayer for them both.
