The extensive applause dedicated by the Pope Francisco together with those present in the hall of the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican summed up the emotion that mobilized Leon Gieco when singing “I only ask God”. The musician’s participation occurred at the closing of the Congress of the Interreligious Dialogue Institute (IDI), which promoted more than 20 years ago Bergoglio in Buenos Aires next to the priest Guillermo Marcothe rabbi Daniel Goldman and the Muslim leader Omar Abboud. More than one hundred Argentines attended the closing day of the IDI.
Compatriots of various faiths, linked to justice, politics, work, art or education wanted to be present to listen to the national rock anthem once morest war, injustice and indifference, in the voice and guitar of León Gieco . The highly emotional and unforgettable performance filled the eyes of Pope Francis with tears.

With the participation of the Spanish cardinal Miguel Ayuso –president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue– and more than one hundred Argentine leaders from different areas concluded yesterday the Congress entitled “De Jorge to Franciscoof Argentina to the world”.
The event featured expert panelists on the environment and peripheries, migrants, education, work culture, and interreligious dialogue. The Pope, who arrived walking to the sumptuous Sala del Concistoro helped by his cane, made a brief speech before giving way to the invited specialists.
Pope Francis: “Every person has the right to medical care and medicines”
The Supreme Pontiff commented: “God manifests himself in all cultures, he is the father of all, but it is not a dialogue with the mirror, but with reality and with respect.” And he pointed out: “I thank you for your efforts and I ask you to pray for me, each one in his language and in his gestures, I need it.”
In the presence of so many compatriots, Pope Francis stressed: “If we Argentines do not pray for each other, We are fried”. She then asked each of them to pray one minute “for their brothers and sisters” in silence.
Next, the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires took the time to greet all those present, one by one. The artist Ricardo Celma took advantage of the contact to give him a painting with a Christ in the villas and take a group photo.
In the middle of the fight for the succession, Francisco said that he might have died: “A little more and I did not count it”
From the first row, with the guitar in his hands and his usual harmonica hanging from his neck, León Gieco played the first chords. From that moment on and during the five minutes that the song lasts, the whole place allowed itself to be questioned by the force of its lyrics.
The Pontiff, who constantly tries to persuade through his words to end the war in Ukraine, showed this mixture of feelings during the most mobilizing moment of the day when he heard: “The war is not indifferent to me, it is a big monster and stomp all the poor innocence of the people”.
