HISTORIC MEETING: POPE FRANCIS TRAVELS TO CASTEL GANDOLFO TO MEET WITH
BENEDICT XVI
Vatican City, 23 March 2013 (VIS) - At noon today, the Holy Father Francis
travelled by helicopter to Castel Gandolfo to meet and have lunch with Pope
emeritus Benedict XVI. Accompanying Benedict XVI to greet Pope Francis on his
arrival were
Bishop Marcello Semeraro of Albano, Italy, and Dr. Saverio Petrillo, director
of the Pontifical Villas.
This is the first time that the Church is experiencing a meeting between the
Pope and an Emeritus Pope. Even though the two have spoken by telephone
several times since Pope Francis' election as the 266th Pope ten days ago,
this is the first time that
they are meeting face to face. Although live coverage of the historic event
will not be provided, the Press Office of the Holy See has announced that
there will be an official photo of the two together in the library of the
Castel Gandolfo Apostolic
Palace. (When available, the photo will be published on the VIS blogsite at:
http://www.visnews-en.blogspot.it/)
After meeting privately and sharing lunch, the Holy Father Francis is
scheduled to return to the Vatican this afternoon, again by helicopter.

POPE FRANCIS ASKS JESUITS TO, WITH COMPLETELY COMMITTED LIFE, BE LEAVEN TO
WORLD
Vatican City, 23 March 2013 (VIS) - Three days after beginning his
pontificate, Pope Francis sent a letter to the Superior General of the
Jesuits, Fr. Adolfo Nicolas Pachon. In it the Holy Father responded to the
letter that the Superior General
had sent to him on learning of the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the
first Jesuit in the history of the Society of Jesus to be elected Pope.
Following is the complete text of the Roman Pontiff Francis' letter, dated 16
March:
"Dear Fr. Nicolas, It is with great joy that I received the kind letter that
you sent on behalf of yourself and of the Society of Jesus on the occasion of
my election to the See of St. Peter, informing me of your prayers for me and
my apostolic
ministry along with your complete willingness to continue your unconditional
service to the Church and to the Vicar of Christ, according to the precepts of
St. Ignatius of Loyola."
"I thank you cordially for this token of appreciation and closeness, which I
reciprocate with pleasure, asking the Lord to enlighten and accompany all
Jesuits so that-faithful to the charism received and the footsteps of the
saints of our
beloved Order, by their pastoral activity but above all through the witness of
lives entirely devoted to the service of the Church, the Bride of Christ-they
may be evangelical leaven to the world, tirelessly seeking the glory of God
and the good
of souls."
"With these sentiments I ask all Jesuits to pray for me and entrust me to the
loving protection of Mary, our Mother in Heaven, while, as a pledge of
abundant heavenly favours, I impart with special fondness my Apostolic
Blessing, which I also
extend to all those who work with the Society of Jesus in their activities,
benefit from their good works, and partake of their spirituality."
