EXEMPLARY POPE FOR THE CHURCH
By Father Pablo Migone, Augusta, GA
Five-hundred years after the first evangelization of
South America (with a considerable part done by
those of the Jesuit Order), the College of Cardinals
has elected the first Latin American pope who is
also a Jesuit. With more than 500 million Catholics
from Latin American, the election of Pope Francis
will have a great impact on the Latino Church. The
initial response of Latin Americans to election of
Francis is enormous, leaving no one indifferent.
Since the resignation of Pope Benedict, I joked that
Benedict was elected a few months before the
World Youth Day in Germany, so we could expect
the new Pope to be Brazilian, or at least Latin
American. My joke has become a reality. I could
not contain my joy when I realized the Archbishop
of Buenos Aires had been elected the 265th
successor to St. Peter. He is Latin American like
me! He is of Italian background like me! Argentina
can now say that it has provided to the world today
one of the best soccer players, the future queen of
the Netherlands, and the Pope.
As if being the first Latin America and the first
Jesuit to become a Pope was not enough, Cardinal
Jorge Bergoglio chose the name Francis, making
him the first Pope to bear that name. A few days
after his election he took away the doubt whether
he took the name of Francis after the great Jesuit
missionary St. Francis Xavier or the saint of Assisi,
St. Francis: "I would like a Church which is poor
and for the poor," he told 6,000 reporters at his first
major audience. Francis Pope, inspired by St.
Francis who lived true poverty and sought peace, is
bringing simplicity and humility to the Papacy with
the desire to rebuild the Church of Christ.
If the words of his first homily are an indication of
his attitude towards his vocation as the spiritual
father of the faithful, we are in good hands: "We
can walk as much as we want, we can build many
things, but if we do not profess Jesus Christ,
nothing will avail. We will become a pitiful
non-governmental organization, but not the Church,
the Bride of Christ. When one does not profess
Jesus Christ, one professes the worldliness of the
devil.” The Pope continued, “When we walk
without the Cross, when we build without the
Cross, and when we profess Christ without the
Cross, we are not disciples of the Lord.”
The world continues with its eyes fixed on the
Vatican with great expectation, gratitude, and joy.
The Holy Spirit always provides, and He has now
provided an exemplary Pope for His Church.

Collection at Easter Vigil & Easter Sunday
Masses for Priests’ Retirement.

PAPA EJEMPLAR PARA LA IGLESIA
Al Padre Pablo Migone, Augusta, GA
Quinientos años después de la primera
evangelización de América del Sur (y una parte
considerable de lo hecho por los miembros de la
Compañía de Jesús), el Colegio Cardenalicio ha
elegido el primer latinoamericano Papa que es
también un jesuita. Con más de 500 millones de
católicos provenientes de América Latina, la
elección del Papa Francis tendrá un tremendo
impacto en la Iglesia latina. La respuesta inicial de
los latinoamericanos a la elección de Francisco es
enorme, sin dejar a nadie indiferente.
profesa la mundanidad del diablo. "El Papa
continuó:" Cuando caminamos sin la cruz, cuando
construimos sin la cruz, y nos profesan a Cristo sin
la cruz, no somos discípulos del Señor ".
Desde la renuncia del Papa Benedicto, yo bromeaba
que Benedicto fue elegido unos meses antes del Día
Mundial de la Juventud en Alemania, así que
podríamos esperar que el nuevo Papa sea brasileño,
o por lo menos en América Latina. Mi broma se ha
convertido en una realidad. No pude contener mi
alegría cuando me di cuenta del Arzobispo de
Buenos Aires había sido elegido como el sucesor de
San Pedro 265a. Él es latinoamericano como yo! Él
es de un fondo italiano como yo! Argentina ahora
puede decir que ha proporcionado para el mundo
hoy en día uno de los mejores jugadores de fútbol,
la futura reina de los Países Bajos, y el Papa.
SEMANA SANTA
Como si ser el primero en América Latina y el
jesuita primero en convertirse en Papa no fue
suficiente, el cardenal Jorge Bergoglio eligió el
nombre de Francis convirtiéndose en el primer
Papa que llevan ese nombre. Pocos días después de
su elección le quitó la duda si él tomó el nombre de
Francisco en honor al gran misionero jesuita San
Francisco Javier o el santo de Asís, San Francisco.
"Me gustaría una Iglesia pobre y para los pobres",
dijo a los 6.000 periodistas se reúne en la primera
audiencia principal del Papa en el Vaticano. Él ha
elegido Francis porque el santo vivió la verdadera
pobreza que buscan la paz y la creación de respetar.
Papa Francis, inspirado en San Francisco, está
aportando sencillez y humildad al Papado junto con
el deseo de reconstruir la Iglesia de Cristo en el
siglo 21.
Si las palabras de su primera homilía son una
indicación de su actitud hacia su vocación como el
padre espiritual de los fieles, estamos en buenas
manos: "Podemos caminar tanto como queramos,
podemos construir muchas cosas, pero si lo
hacemos no profesan a Jesucristo, nada va a servir.
Nos convertiremos en una lamentable organización
no gubernamental, pero no la Iglesia, Esposa de
Cristo. Cuando uno no profesan a Jesucristo, que se
El mundo sigue con sus ojos fijos en el Vaticano
con gran expectación, gratitud y alegría. El Espíritu
Santo siempre provee y Él ha proporcionado un
Papa ejemplar para su Iglesia.
