His name is Elio Jorge Rojas, a Franciscan friar and YouTuber. Through YouTube and a very original style, he dives into various interesting and current themes about the faith.<\/p>\n
ELIO JORGE ROJAS<\/strong> He compares the life of a Christian to the adventures of Frodo and the ring, a text that undoubtedly marked his life and that inspires his task of bringing the faith to young people.<\/p>\n \u201cWe coexist with holy people. The problem is that we don't realize it, or that we have a very fantastical idea of holiness, like from a film. We think saints are people who can levitate, or who speak slowly and turn their eyes upward.\u201d<\/p>\n ELIO JORGE ROJAS<\/strong> In Buenos Aires, he had a good teacher who taught him to use that creativity and closeness to reach young people. That teacher was now-Pope Francis.<\/p>\n ELIO JORGE ROJAS<\/strong> His channel is called \u201cPeregrino Gris,\u201d \u201cGrey Pilgrim.\u201d There, he talks about matters from vocations and the family, to sexuality and corruption.<\/p>\n His charisma has carried him to an audience with a desire to learn more and more about how to live the faith today as simple pilgrims.<\/p>\n Daniel D\u00edaz Vizzi<\/p>\n Translation: CT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 19, 2020.

\n\u201c'Grey Pilgrim' for two reasons. First, it's because I'm a Franciscan Minor Conventual, and we're pilgrims and foresters, according to St. Francis of Assisi. The other reason is that I'm a fan of Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings,' and they call Gandalf 'the Grey Pilgrim.'\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cI think St. Francis would have used these means to preach the Gospel. That's also what St. Maximilian Kolbe did. He was a Franciscan conventual who used the resources of his time, like the \u201cStampa\u201d magazine, to announce the Gospel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cI always remember when we would organize events with youth from the favelas in those poor places. He would stand on the roof of a truck and preach. He transmitted a lot of enthusiasm and strength to young people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
