Numerous believers prayed for the sick Pope Francis at a outdoor fair in Buenos Aires. “On this place, the Pope approached the marginalized and the suffering as Cardinal Bergoglio,” said Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Ignacio García Cuerva, at the center of the Argentine capital at the Plaza Constitución. “His prophetic voice could always be heard on this place, which denounced exclusion and injustice.”
Pope Francis has been treated in a hospital in Rome for a week and a half for pneumonia on both sides. The doctors describe the state of health of the Catholic head of church as critical. Before his election to the Pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio – according to Francis' bourgeois name – was Archbishop of Buenos Aires. At the age of 88, Francis is now the second oldest Pope in history.
“I pray for the recovery of Pope Francis. We hope that he will soon be better and that he will come to us, ”said a woman named Graciela, who had come to the fair outdoors. Uselina from the misery district Villa 21 said: “Bergoglio has always come and drank Mate tea with us. He did a lot for us. We pray for him. “
