Celebrating the Sixth Anniversary of the Election of Pope Francis – The Online Truth of Junín, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Yesterday, March 13, we celebrated the sixth anniversary of the election of Pope Francis and it is an opportunity to give thanks to God for what he has given us.
Talking about the Pope, after Jesus and the Virgin, touches the spinal cord of the Catholic pilgrim church. The bishops will soon travel to Rome for the traditional visit and, in our Jorge Bergoglio, we will go to see Pedro.
We admire recognizing in you an exemplary austerity, tireless work, constant availability, many details and delicacies with so many people and situations that emerge spontaneously in your memory. It infects its peace and strength amid great challenges, such as the painful drama of abuse. He has a look that goes beyond the immediate and knows how to say a word illuminating the walls that often stop us. Can innovate boldly without neglecting respect for people.
His teachings were embodied by so many gestures and words that moved us all the more, from his first trip from Rome to the island of Lampedusa, when he had embraced the "abandoned humanity" of migrants Africans, survivors of the Mediterranean. This option for the poorest was reflected in various works of mercy, as in cordial lunches with
the poor of Rome; or go to prisons, rehabilitation homes and so many existential peripheries, which are a priority in their missionary journeys.
As a global reference, he proposed a clear, gentle, confident and cautious dialogue, bringing together the most diverse interlocutors. He put joy in the Church, the joy of the Gospel, because he finally invited us to look at the essential: the Father God who loves us, the living Christ who saves us. He immersed us in the great river of mercy and renewed the missionary enthusiasm of the Holy Spirit. We can not stop saying that all this happens in a very Argentine pope, with his malice, his good mood, his spark and the results that identify him, by inventing words or phrases every time.
Faced with the daring of their dreams and desires, we often fail, simply because it is difficult for us to follow them.
We imagine the joy that Francisco had when he decided to canonize the holy Cura Brochero, to beatify Mama Antula and martyrs of Riojano. At our next meeting with him, we will propose again that he does not deprive himself of the joy of visiting us.

Do not forget to pray for him!
