Evita is from all over the city. It is immortal in the heart of Argentina and is composed of Catholics, Jews and Protestants. It is a popular saint, not liturgical. Mother of the San Martin people is the father of the nation and he is called the saint of the sword. Around the world, there is an altar for Evita, who was the most important woman in history and who transcended borders. Holiness is a long and difficult path. The pope emphasizes that holiness is not the prerogative of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, that it is not managed by the bishops, that it is not filed like a treasure in no one because of its hierarchical or ministerial status.

Something is clear Francisco and it is that to be holy, it is not necessary to be bishops, priests, religious or religious. We are often tempted to think that holiness is reserved for those who have the opportunity to step back from ordinary occupations, to devote a lot of time to prayer. No, we are all called to be saints living with love and offering our own witness in the daily occupations where everyone is.

Another of Francisco's many contributions is that the path of holiness is not for the lazy, for doing good always requires effort. A group of people from the CGT asked that a process of beatification of Eva Duarte de Perón be initiated. She gave her life to the poor. Fray Don Pedro Errecart, Franciscan Brother, friend of To avoid and Juan Perón, is the one who encouraged them to get married in the Franciscan convent of La Plata. Through Errecart, the couple Perón has carried out countless works for the benefit of the Church and the needy.

Thanks to the intervention of the General Minister of Franciscans, he received the highest recognition that could be granted to Evita: "Brother of the First Order". It is a decoration for the work offered. Eva, showed herself attached to religiosity. This means that she has the privilege of being buried in the Franciscan habit. Today covers, the coffin in the Recoleta cemetery. This state of approach to divinity, without a doubt, in Evita can be proved.

However, the good intentions of those who propose that it is sacred do not mean that it can become so or that it will be decided tomorrow. Joan of Arc He waited 500 years. We must follow the diocesan process which concerns study, life, work, virtues and which gathers meticulous information drawn from writings, testimonies. Overcome this step is declared "Servant of God, it is only after this process that the competent bishop carries the documentation to the congregation for the cause of the saints of the Holy See, so we must be patient because he can take years before being badyzed, but the arrival of a person to holiness can be truncated before the pope has his hands.He must have solid pillars of justification to clear a path between the 2,500 business cases. It is also necessary to demonstrate two miracles of the Venerable is badyzed by doctors and experts who prove its authenticity, Bergoglio, in his apostolic exhortation "Gaudet and Exsultate", in 177 paragraphs, which compose 5 chapters, calls for holiness, speaks of his subtle enemies and, among others, details some notes of holiness in the world today.

Francisco tells us about him "My humble purpose is to resurrect the call to holiness, trying to embody it in the present context, with its risks, challenges, and opportunities, that's what God wants".
