Pope Francis' legacy will be defined by a series of 'firsts'

In Evangelii Gaudium ('Joy of the Gospel'), Pope Francis said: I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its security.

Pope Francis saw the Church as a “field hospital” called to tend to the wounded on the battlefields of life, offering her medicine of mercy to all. The Church, Pope Francis insisted, is not only to teach but to act—to embrace those on the periphery and to bring the light of Christ to the darkest corners of society.

Shortly after his election as Pope, his first visit outside of Rome was to the marooned African boat people washed ashore on the small Italian island of Lampedusa. He never tired of defending the displaced migrant nor embracing the marginalized or excluded, whether at a papal audience in St. Peter’s Square or in a prison.

Declaración del arzobispo Thomas Wenski sobre la muerte del Papa Francisco

El legado del Papa Francisco se definirá por una serie de ‘primicias’

En Evangelii Gaudium (“La alegría del Evangelio”), el Papa Francisco dijo: “Prefiero una Iglesia magullada, herida y sucia porque ha salido a la calle, que una Iglesia malsana por estar recluida y por aferrarse a su propia seguridad”. Consideró a la Iglesia como un “hospital de campaña” llamado a atender a los heridos en los campos de batalla de la vida, ofreciendo su medicina de misericordia a todos.

La Iglesia, insistió el Papa Francisco, no sólo debe enseñar, sino actuar, abrazar a los que están en la periferia y llevar la luz de Cristo a los rincones más oscuros de la sociedad.

Su primera visita fuera de Roma, poco después de su elección como Papa, fue a los náufragos africanos abandonados en la pequeña isla italiana de Lampedusa. Y nunca se cansó de defender a los emigrantes desplazados o de abrazar a los marginados o excluidos, ya fuera en una audiencia papal en la Plaza de San Pedro o en una cárcel.

“Señor, ¿a quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna.”

Te invitamos a una noche de gracia, silencio interior y encuentro profundo con Jesús.

Help End Child Hunger – Support the WIC Program

In the U.S., 1 in 5 children faces hunger, but we can change that. Bread for the World’s Nourish Our Future Campaign advocates for stronger government action to combat child hunger.

The WIC program provides vital nutrition support for pregnant women, mothers, and young children, serving nearly 7 million participants per month in 2023—including 40% of all U.S. infants.

Join the St. Louis Bread for the World Ministry on the weekend of May 11th for our Annual Offering of Letters after all Masses. Urge Congress to improve access to WIC so that all eligible families can benefit.
