It has also helped me to better
understand the actions and style
of Francis as pope.
Going out to encounter the poor.
Serving others before serving self.
Confronting matters of faith and love
head on with conviction and confidence.
Loving neighbour unconditionally.
These are the actions of Bergoglio over the
years. This is the essence of our Church.
In many ways, the Holy Father’s sound bites
are quite similar to Jesus’ parables – short
and highly effective portals into an eternal
– and very deep – truth that begs further nurturing,
discerning and experience. As we celebrate the first
year anniversary of this new and, for many, uplifting
pontificate, there could be no better time to learn
more about Francis, the pope from the New World
who is reinvigorating the faith of millions around
the globe.
