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. Please remember with generosity the Special Collection at Easter Vigil & Easter Sunday Masses for Priests’ Retirement. BAA 2013 “Help Shepherd the Flock” Today is Appeal Sunday.

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.
