(Alarcos 10:13-16) 10 things you need to know about Pope Francis Pope Francis is a pope of many "firsts". He is the first to take the Warne "Francis" He is the first pope from the Society of Jesus. He is the first pope to have been ordained priest after Vatican 11. Pope Francis sees himself as a sinner. Pope Francis believes the Church should be more like a 'field hospital after battle," with bishops serving as true pastors and priests spending more time in confessionals, consol- ina wounded souls. 0 Pope Francis wants to keep it simple but 'cannot live without people." S. Pope Francis only has the deepest of affections for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, his 'brother" who now lives in a monastery at the Vatican. Pope Francis is a reformer; he is not afraid to shake 0 things up. Pope Francis says "no" to an economy of exclusion. Pope Francis warns Christians against falling into the trap of 'spiritual worldliness," which is "self-centeredness cloaked in an outward 0 religiosity bereft of God." Pope Francis is a fervent devotee of the Blessed Mother. Pope Francis is a son of the Church. M ini ni rnga gin? DO JUSTICE AND LOVE KINDNESS IDANICITO& Word of Ufc The Life of Pope Francis/ Jorge Mario Bergoglio Born of a People Straight and Sincere Our Holy Father,Pope Francis, was born oil December 17, 1936 in Barrio Flores, Buenos Aires and baptized Jorge Ivlario Bergoglio on Christmas Day. Though Argentinian by birth, he is a Bergoglio and of Italian descent. "My father's name was Ivlario Jose Francisco and my grandfather, Juan Angel. He was Pied montese (born in Asti),' Fr. Jorge Bergoglio explained in a letter he wrote a Salesian friend Fr. Cayetano Bruno in 1990. Pope Francis' father is from Piedmont, a region in northwestern Italy bordering Switzerland and France. Piedmont is Latin for the "foot of the mountain" as it lies at the base of the Alps where indige­nous grape varieties and the Nebbiolo grapes grow. Nebbiolo comes from nebbia, a reference to the fog which provides the hurnidity ideal for the grapes and gives the berries their velvety coat. A FIZZY TOAST The Bergoglio ancestral borne is in Asti, a province in Piedmont where vineyards are planted with Moscato Bianco grapes which are made into white wine. Asti is famous for sparkling Asti Spumante which is what Pope Francis and the good cardinals who elected him, reportedly drank to toast his election. The fizzy toast reported by Reuters was described as "a nod to his roots and less expensive than charnpagne for a man who eschews life's luxuries." Many Bergoglios still live in Asti. Pope Francis' parents i rn rn igrated to Argentina in 1929 but the red brick house where Pope Francis' grandfather was born, still stands on a hill in Asti. The Familia Bergoglio website has a record of Francesco Bergoglio, Pope Francis' great-grandfather walking into the town hall of Asti and declaring the birth of his son, Giovanni Angelo Bergoglio on August 13, 1884 in their home in Bricco Ivlarmorito, in Asti. When he was appointed cardinal, Pope Francis and his sister were able to visit the Bergoglio house in Piedmont. His sister Maria Elena recalls, "we went to Turin and then to Portacomaro, the region from which my father had come. I admit that it was very moving. The site is magnificent,* we went together on a tour of the nearby hills. But to see the house where my father was born, the garden in which he played as a child, the cellar where our uncle made wine: indescribable, an emotion that cannot be communicated in words.' A GLI MPSE INTO THE PIEDMONT CHARACTER In his book Francis: Pope of a i,4e%v World, author Andrea Tornielli revealed that our Holy Father recites from memory a poem from Nino Costa's 'Rassanostrana" that his grandparents taught hire in Piedmontese and which he kept in his breviary. An English translation goes like this: Straight and sincere, what they are is what they seem: obstinate, with firm pulse and healthy liver. They say little but know what they are saying; although they walk slowly, they travel far. It provides us with a gl i rn pse into the Piedmontese' hardy and straightforward character. A HAPPY REUNION Ecstatic after the Pope's election, a delegation from Asti and neighboring villages had an audi­ence with the Pope. Asti Mayor Fabrizio Brignolo proudly presented the Holy Father with his family's records including the school report card his father got when he qualified from the town's book­keeping college in 1926. All things considered, it was a happy reunion and plans are in the offing for a visit to Piedmont someday. (8yMa. Lourdes Vanes Gob)) Mercy -;-CompaSSION POPE FRANCIS PAPAL V1Srr 2015. PHIUPPNES PANICIT06: Word of Life Ang Liturhiya: Kinahanglan gid bala nga may kahoy nga krus malapit sa altar? Huo, kay amo ini ang nagahatag kahulogan sa aton ginabuhat - nga ang bangkete nga aton ginasaulog sa pagkamatuod amo ang sakripisyo ni Kristo sa krus. Kun may krus nga daku sa santu­aryo kinahanglan pa bala nga magbutang sang isa pa gid malapit sa altar ukon sa ibabaw sang altar? Indi na. Ang pagsulondan liturhiko nagadumili sa aton sa pag­butang sang duha ka imahen sang isa lang ka Santos. Kon amo bisan sa mga imahen ni Maria isa gid lang ang dapat ibutang? Huo. Kon may madamo kita nga imahen ni Maria sa nagakalain-lain niya nga titulo nga ginadebosyonan sang mga tumoluo sarang naton ini mabutang ang iban sa Chapel of the Saints ukon kon waay ini sa kilid sang Nave sang Simbahan.
