The pope of the poor

The new pope's name is Francis. A highly symbolic name, since - as he said to the journalists in his first press conference - it is related to St. Francis of Assisi, known as the saint of brotherhood, of reconciliation, of “Lady Poverty”. He has already marked history with his unconformity and simplicity. For example, he chose a silver ring (instead of the gold one, as it is usual) for his papacy, he is wearing his own “tiara” and very simple shoes. Little by little he is bringing about a reform inside the Vatican. We should pray for him and help him in this difficult task of renewing the Church. From the inside, as St. Francis did in his time.
