On the following 12 to 17 February, arrives Pope Francisco to Mexico, visiting various Mexican states and Mexico City, Ecatepec, Tuxtla Gutierrez, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Morelia and Ciudad Juarez, remembering that he pray to the Virgin of Guadalupe and several other activities.
Mexicans have presented different attitudes and doubts because of their visit. Notimex has raised some questions and presented them to the Pope on video, and he in turn answered these questions.
Some of the most representative are those that leave us much to reflect and to enhance the excitement of the visit and the change we want and strive to achieve.
Why comes to Mexico? What you come to bring Mexico?
"... I'm not going to Mexico like a Magic King charged of things to bring, messages, ideas, solutions to problems ... I'm going to Mexico as a pilgrim, I will look at the Mexican people to give me something ... I will seek wealth of faith that you have, I'll catch it find that wealth of faith ... you have ac lot of wealth in the heart and, above all, you are not an orphan people because they boast of having Mother and when a man or a woman, or a people does not forget his mother, he gives a richness that you do not you can describe the you receive, with you transmit. Well, I'll look a little all that in they. a people who not forgets his mother, the mestizo mother, the mother who forged in hope. "
What accounts for the Pope the Virgin of Guadalupe?
'' Security tenderness. How many times I am afraid of any problems or has happened something ugly and you do not know how to react, and I pray, I like repeating myself: Do not be afraid, Am I not here who am your Mother?"
What you would like and what is expected of us?
'' I'm going to serve, for that, to be a servant of your faith, because this I am priest ... because I felt that vocation ... to serve the people's faith. But that faith has to grow and pop out and into the lives of everyday, a public faith ... Our faith is not a faith of museum, the Church noy is a museum. Our faith is a faith that is born of contact, dialogue with Jesus Christ, our Savior, the Lord ... If faith does not goes out, does not work, and that faith out on the street is not just about making a Procession . That faith out on the street means that I in my workplace, my family, the things I do in college, at school, show me as a Christian .... The faith must be street as Jesus.
I want to conclude robbing the words og Mother and through me She's saying to you, '' Do not be afraid to go out, do not be afraid son, my, perhaps daughter Am I not here who am your Mother?
