From Argentina to the Congo and Portugal, all roads lead to Francisco

Maria Helena seeks Edward Gerebaled – the Vatican Cytad

“All roads lead to Rome,” they say. Today, in the eternal city, it seems that the entire world is Hajj, in the wake of the ways that the Pope drew from the end of the world, “who walked by spending the soles of some simple black shoes, which he asked from the same time burial.

dawn. Six in the morning. The fragile time when the night and the lobby, shy, brushes the success buildings. The new light, which is reflected in marble and facades, gently lights the faces of the believers, who reached the Mass to another goodbye to Pope Francis, who returned to the father’s house on Monday, April 21. Some wake up now, in their sleep bags, along the sidewalk. Silent silence shaking in the air.

Pope elites

A group of young Argentina – from Cordoba, is proudly told us – a metal water bottle is passed through their hands. The security crew blocks it at the entrance. It matters a little. Sorben infiltrate and then explode in slight laughs. “Tikila, do you remember the Pope?” Certainly, his finger took the index on his lips. It is a silent elite of this giving paradox that Francisco has never stopped offering, even in pain. Like when, when talking about his Maltrecha knee, he smiled: “The little tequila will not bother me.” Today this joke becomes rituals. A way to stay a human being, to believe, stronger.

Francisco between another

When the sun rises, Rome reveals: not only a city, but a crossroads. The streets that surround the Kazlika become a river of languages, dialects, and vibrant flags as cloaks. Human atlas, open under the sky. Francisco was sitting between them. Next to Beatrice, without shelter, with pale blond hair, tilted back on an old wooden gate, a paid sleeping bag until the knees. Exhale long clouds from smoke. Of people only see the hasty knees, patience shoes. Look at them with a slight disappointment. Smiling, when the loud teenagers who came to Rome pass to the jubilee designated for them.

Dream and building a better world

Among the various present groups, there are Portuguese youths from the Arisira and Carvuraa diocese, and it is confident that sadness will unite believers from all over the world and “will bring more teenagers to Rome this year of Jubilee,” says Margerida. “Pope Francis joined people through his message of hope and attention to the most in need.” “Yes, join Catholics, not Catholics, and there were many people who appreciate it,” they shared Manuel and Maria, who coincide with shame with his wife. In fact, young people feel faith in their dementia, and like the Pope, they want to live in a better world. They believe that now, from the top, all of us take care of us and rejoice in the idea of ​​the ability to talk to him perfectly: “I would like to ask him to take care of countries in war, so that he is in the sky, to help people who suffer and give them hope for it,” he added. “I hope Pope Francis will help me find my inner belief more, helped me to be a better person,” Diana shouted between sincere smiles.

From the heart of the Congo, a peace song

A group of Voices Gospel Del Congo sings a local version of amazing grace, broken notes and hope. “He gave us a power to go forward, despite ugliness,” “Janet’s whispers, covering his tears with his hand, and it is a moving paradox for the singer.“ We need to talk about us. About the war. Kenneh adds, “The world may know that,” with difficult but vibrant confidence. The latest events talk about a truce that can lead to permanent peace, yearning for the Pope. For Francis.

Unlawful tracks towards one thanks

Some stories should be looking for. Others know each other. “Are you journalists?” Madeleine asks, the eyes that were characterized by a dream, with his twins seized on both sides. It comes from AIX-E-PROVINCE, France, takes a few days of holidays for workers ’day. Hundreds of kilometers have traveled to thank. Thank you for the phrase you have kept in your heart for years: Francisco announced a child, Emmanuel, who cried an atheist father and fears he had lost him forever. God is proud of your father …. God has the heart of the father. Your father was a good man. The Pope said that he is sure that he is in heaven.

A step towards light

From all angles of the world, in search of the Pope who knew how to speak to those far from faith. And made them stay. Like Siena, he told Berlin twenty years, whom he told them last Friday, before the Vatican microphones, that fear of loss is now hungry to exist. He should have gone. But he remained. He is now sitting on the ground, and his back appeared on his back and the lost appearance in the sky. Immediately before that, a few words were exchanged with a social support volunteer, under a white and secret store on the edge of the box. Many young people approach the barriers. They are looking for a word, smile, something that warms up more than the sun, which sometimes hide between clouds.

“Teacher and Poet”

A picture describing the essence of this day: To be here is not the end. It is the beginning. As a path drawn by Francisco, he is able to join the end of the world to its position. The ceremony ends, the procession is progressing towards Santa Maria, not the mayor, as the municipality, such as walking prayer. The crowd begins to go out. Children are collected from the empty conydoba Cantimplora. I wonder if they were, like the Pope, they love his fellow Jorge Luis Borges. One of his clips, which the Pope regained, appears today as a guide, an entry into them, Siena, Kenneth, Janet, Portuguese youth, Beatrice:

“I would like to thank … for Whitman and Francisco de Asis who have already written this poem, because of the fact that this poem is inexhaustible and mixed with the sum of creatures and will never reach and change the last verse according to men.”
