During the return flight to Rome, the Pope spoke of how his visit to Mexico has impacted him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'It's a land with enormous wealth and a rich \u00a0an ancient culture. Do you know that there are 65 languages that are spoken in Mexico, today?<\/p>\n
The Mexican people ... I can not explain, this wealth, this joy, this ability to be happy in spite of the great tragedies in which you encounter and continue to ask me.<\/p>\n
But a nation of people that still hold this strength and mentality can only be attributed to Our Lady of Guadalupe. I invite you to seriously consider this as fact. To me, there is no other explanation.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
The Pope has also revealed what were the intentions that he prayed for almost 30 minutes in silence and alone before the image of the Our Lady of Guadalupe.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'I have asked for the world, for peace ... Many things. She has probably tired of all of my prayers. I have asked forgiveness. I have asked the Church to grow healthy, for the Mexican people. Another thing. I have asked that priests are true priests, true nuns be nuns, bishops true bishops, as the Lord wishes. I have asked a lot. But things that a son tells his mother are secret, right?\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
The Pope has learned of the horrors of drug trafficking and violence in Mexico, by seeing these realities first-hand. Upon returning, he is brought to sadness because he does not feel that such a lively country deserves any of these maladies.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
