"After the Mass for more than one million in Medellín, Pope Francis went to a
century-old orphanage for abandoned girls. There he heard from Claudia Garcia, 13, telling how before she could even speak she lost her entire family when a guerrilla unit raided her village on a deadly rampage. The only survivors were a handful of children ages 2 to 8.
The first Latin American pope came here to Medellín to .... and called for a radical renewal of the church. He assured this renewal can happen if disciples of Christ adopt three attitudes in their lives: “To go to what is essential, to be renewed and to get involved."
Francis told them, “We should not be afraid of renewal.”
In his homily, he cited the example of St. Peter Claver, “whose motto was ‘slave of the blacks forever’ because he understood, as a disciple of Jesus, that he could not remain indifferent to the suffering of the most helpless and mistreated of his time and that he had to do something to alleviate their suffering.” The
crowd applauded this warmly.
Francis has mentioned this Jesuit saint every day in his homilies or speeches here. He recalled that today is the saint’s feast, and tomorrow he will venerate relics of St. Peter Claver in Cartagena where he worked and died." AP
....and all the world wondered after the beast.
