The Argentine missionary, a brotherly friend of Pope Francis, taught news after a long and tiring journey to the forest to celebrate the classes on Easter and Baptism. The joy of the entrance to the new believers in the small Paabo Church was impregnated with pain due to the loss of the father’s personality. “He always asked us to pray for him, and this is what we did, that his soul falls. He will not stop approaching us.

Antonella Paliermo – Vatican City

From this ocean that Pope Francis reached as if he was tirelessly, the short but intense testimony of Father Martin Brado, an Argentine missionary at the Institute of the Espected Word, who lived in the remote Vaimo, the village that sponsored Pontef on his last and long journey to the past east.

The news reaches the distant forest

“I am very sorry. I went to pray from a rosary with my patronage, and I diocerated from La Floresta. On Sunday morning, I went to celebrate the Mass in a very remote town.

That was when he reached the camp of his Baseh in La Floresta when Father Martin learned the news of the death of his dear friend Francisco: “So we went to pray with Monaguius, with the people who were there, touched the bell and went to pray for the Holy Father.”

Do Kvansisco, go to intense latitudes

The great joy of the baptism secret, which was taught in this city, is mixed with sadness. “It was worth getting there – emphasizing missionary – very difficult transportation and very difficult transfers.” The memory of “a brutal road and the car stopped …”.

But Pope Francis himself agrees that he deserves it. Because he himself puts the aspect of fatigue, physical restrictions, and fragility, so that the appointment does not miss with the poorest, in the farthest latitudes.

It will continue to help us from the sky

“He was a great friend for us. Supplication for him, for his soul, because after everything he is a man like you and opaque.

Words that reach a faint tone, crossed by fatigue, but are convinced and undoubtedly. In fact, the residents of Papua New Guinea did not stop thinking with fear, during the entire hospitalization period and recovery, in the example of love, affection and brotherhood that the Pope showed them, the father for them.

“He has always asked us to pray for him, and this is what we did. God has his glory. And if he has helped us a lot, if he is very close to our mission here in Baba, on Earth, from heaven, I think he will remain close to us, to help us, to mediate for us.”
