Jorge Macri visited Pope Francis on Wednesday in the Vatican with his wife, María Belén Ludueña. During their meeting, the head of the Buenos Aires Government told him regarding his future plans for the City of Buenos Aires and, according to what he published on social networks, the Supreme Pontiff gave him strong advice.
«We talked regarding the plans I have for the South of Buenos Aires and the Pope was very interested. We also talked regarding the Flores neighborhood and that brought back many memories. We talked regarding the value of interreligious dialogue and he insisted that this is very important, that we work to rebuild the dialogue,” Macri began by telling regarding his meeting with Francisco on social networks.
«I told him that the City of Buenos Aires is a model and we have to try, especially at this time of so much pain in the world, to be a lighthouse in that sense. The Pope greatly appreciated that. We talked regarding the concern of the issue of mental health, addictions, how to work with the churches, both the Catholic, the homes of Christ, the Evangelical Church, the village priests, Cáritas, the third sector to help contain and assist,” he added. .
On the other hand, the head of the Buenos Aires government said that they talked regarding the idea of ”arriving before people suffer.” «I told him that we are working on mechanisms to be close to the middle class that does not seek assistance on a regular basis. “We agree that this situation is reminiscent of what happened during the pandemic,” Macri explained.
According to the story, the Pope emphasized the concept of “arriving early” and said: “It reminds me of what some poet wrote regarding ‘getting up early at dawn.’ He would tell the people of Buenos Aires and Argentines in general not to get up early, to arrive earlier. Don’t let yourself get up early because of discouragement, anger, because of the feeling that there is no future, that everything is lost. There is hope. “A people must march and stand up.”
«I also had the opportunity to join the desire of millions of Argentines and invite him to visit our country and our City, of which he was their pastor and spiritual guide. His message of hope encourages us to continue building a better, more just and supportive society. To feel how the Pope remembers with deep affection and affection that City of which he was archbishop and who remembers it on corners, in neighborhoods, in identities,” he added.
«Thank you, Francisco, for your fatherly blessing! We pray for you and we trust that your prayer for us will bring peace and unity to our country and our City. “We are waiting for you at home!” concluded the post on the social networks of the Buenos Aires head of government, along with a photo with the pontiff.
