“Our embrace of the Pope,” greeting the friends of the street to Francisco

Benedita Capli – Vatikan Sidad

Grazia tears, tears Bartolo, a silent greeting to Fabrizio. Osservatore Di Strada has returned to Francisco, as love appears to be a father without registration or condition, and put the poor in his education center, think about them, take care of them, provide them with medical assistance, and bath to wash themselves, a bed for sleep and a newspaper where he expresses their own ideas, where he can look – in reality – reality. This afternoon in San Pedro, praised the remains of the Pope.

The meeting was to be held for 14.30 in front of the Petrano entrance, but the company arrived early for fear of its ban by the large number of people lining up in a queue for the Pope. Fray Agnello, the patronage of the Vatican Bazilika and a friend of this humanity, who was wounded by a life that did not provide discounts, accompanied them with Don Stefano and Piero and many others who carefully and grace them. From there the corridor to Piaza Santa Marta and then the entrance via Porta Della Bragerra. Many people look at him amazed by the beauty of Bazilica, try to see the coffin of the Pope, monitor the continuous passage of believers. Their arrival little by little to his friend, the Pope who looked at them and loved them. It is an impressive moment, the real tears pass through the faces of some, the sign of the cross, and a kiss that was thrown towards Francisco, then the prayer that is said to look at the Pope, and trust in ideas, memories and hopes. The company melts, and each one returns to his life with certainty that the treatment of the Pope will remain forever in his soul.

“One of us”

GiusePpe is written in Osservatore Di Strada, even in the last number is its signature, and it appears and a journalist. “I was,” he writes – that the ray of light is sensitive but strongly, lights up the dark darkness that seized our sarcasm. “He had a direct relationship with us, and the Pope was very close to the needs of the needy, everyone was, but above all he forgot the most humble people, so we consider it one of us. “

A friend and father

Among the friends of Osservatore Di Strada, Bartolo Mercury, head of the “IL Cenacolo” association based in Maropati, in the province of Regio Calabria, is a city of 1,400 people at the Aspromonte. They call it “Pope of Africa” ​​because it helps migrants from the Jiwa Toro Plain. It was a pleasure to see him for the last time. Pope Francis was closer to anyone else in the world. The Lord used me to help hundreds of thousands of people for 25 years, and Francisco was close to me, especially during the epidemic, when the Cardinal Kragoski sent a truck full of food, he left me a good amount and helped us all the poor in Calabria. Then, two months ago, the charity visited the children of San Ferdinando camp, allowed the construction of the shower and donated washing. Bartolo changes his life in prison, behind bars known to God’s love. I spent 25 months to be innocent, but – explains – I understood the meaning of suffering and that is why I should help everyone who suffers. I promised God that he would help any poor, anyone who suffered and knows in my life. “IL Cenacolo” has 7,000 people with help. “It is a little hope, for many poor people from the Piana de Geiia de Tauro, who are many, especially Africans, Ukrainian, Balgraph and Romanian. We give them some hope,” says Bartoulo. He was a volunteer at lunch time, and he noticed sadness.

Francisco tears

Francesco is a volunteer in “IL Cenacolo”, in the San Ferdinando camp, who are the end of the earth, “the body of the wounded Christ.” He is enthusiastic after seeing the Pope, recognizes crying. Remember his gift: Encyclopedia and contestants that keep jealousy at home. At night, we pray with my wife and children. It is a huge, indescribable emotion. I started crying in front of the Pope. Seeing him there, with his deadly remains, moved me. “I will always remember it as the last Pope, for those who suffer, from the needy, I will remember it as foreplay that came unexpectedly in my life.”

Francisco passengers

Thousands of Pope Francis’s rosary today were distributed to the poor in the city of Rome. Cardinal Conrad Kragoski, alms from the Pope, brought them with the intention of giving the “hug” the Holy Father forever. Distribution made in social dining rooms, bedrooms and stations: the main places of the shelter for people.
