Pope Francis has sent a message of greetings and good wishes
to Kiko Argüello who celebrated his 80th birthday in Madrid
with a Mass and a special lunch with his closest friends and collaborators.
Argüello founded the Neocatechumanal Way with Carmen
Hernandez in 1964 in Madrid. It is a charism within the Church dedicated to
Christian formation.
"Dear Brother” the Pope writes, “I don't want this day
to go by without sending you a few lines expressing my closeness and fraternal
thanksgiving for your 80th birthday”.
He goes on to say he thanks God for having chosen him to
carry forward his particular mission and for his fidelity.
“May the Lord repay you for all the good you do to the
Church. I am close to you, I pray and accompany you” he writes.
