Pope Francis calls home before his installation

March 19, 2013: Thousands of pilgrims gathered on Tuesday morning in Buenos Aires’ Plaza de Mayo outside the Cathedral to follow Pope Francis’ installation mass in Rome were amazed to hear the Pope’s own voice addressing them over loudspeakers. Pope Francis called the rector of the Cathedral of Buenos Aires, Father Alejandro Russo. The call was amplified to allow the faithful gathered in the square to hear the message of the Pope.
Dear children!, he began, I know you are in the square. I know you are praying, I need them. Then he asked them a favor. I ask you to walk together, taking care of each other. Take care of your family, take care of children, take care of the old, and that there is no hatred, no fights, no envy, among you, he said. We know that we have a good Father who is God. May your heart grow more and more closer to God, he wished. God is good, he always forgives, he understands, draw close to Him. May the Virgin bless you much. Do not forget this bishop. Pray for me, he concluded.
