Pope Francis sends messages to two Argentina
communities
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
has sent a message marking the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the
Diocese of Quilmes in Argentina.
“I know that you are
preparing enthusiastically for this anniversary, and I join you in
thanksgiving to God for the gifts received from His divine goodness,” – Pope
Francis wrote to Bishop Carlos José Tissera – “He has remained faithful, giving
you shepherds, from the first bishop, Jorge Novak, to this day; many priests
and consecrated persons have given their lives to make Christ present among
you. This fills me with joy.”
Pope Francis said he urged
the people of the Diocese to be attentive to the Lord “passing before them,”
and to help Him present in those who are “oppressed, exploited, disillusioned,
sick, or suffering because of any other needs.”
Pope Francis also sent a
message to the Diocese of San Carlos de Bariloche to mark the one hundredth
anniversary of the founding of the Argentinian town, Ingeniero Jacobacci.
Noting the damage to the town
once caused by the Puyehue volcano in nearby Chile, Pope Francis said “after
the ashes came the cloud of solidarity and a renewed effort to move forward,”
and he noted the “creative solidarity” expressed by the town’s citizens.
