Catholics in Bangladesh see Pope Francis as a new leader of peace


(March 27, 2013) Pope Francis will be a leader who can bring peace and truth to the world, strengthening the legacy of the Second Vatican Council, say many Catholics in Bangladesh, who have offered prayers for him, so that he can always reaffirm the teachings of the Church.
According to John Sarkar, a lay Catholic, "each of the pope's step or word, raises their spirits, pushing them to live in harmony with society”. Some Catholics pray for Pope Francis, hoping he might soon visit Bangladesh. They say his simple and loving way of life and of respect for others, is an important sign teaching them to live like Jesus.
Fr Hemonta Rozario, principal of Notre Dame College, said the words of Pope Francis during Palm Sunday Mass that "Jesus entered Jerusalem to be crucified on the Cross, to show the way to Paradise," the Holy Father "wanted to open the eyes of non-believers, especially those who have lost their faith in Jesus, to invite them to experience religion again;” and Molly Costa, who teaches in a missionary school said "The pope's way of life is an important sign. He is a simple person, full of love and respect for everyone. We hope that, like Saint Francis, he will visit many countries. We hope he will come to Bangladesh to bless us in person," she added.
