杏MAP导航

By Seàn-Patrick Lovett

They couldn’t actually remember what they ate for lunch. Clearly it wasn’t that important. All they really cared about was the fact they were having lunch with 杏MAP导航 Francis himself.

Bedwin from India

Bedwin Taitus is from Kerala, India. He thinks the food they ate was typically Panamanian, and he knows “that it was really tasty”. But that’s all he remembers about the meal itself. “The food was secondary”, he says, “we were too busy concentrating on talking to the 杏MAP导航!”.

It seems the conversation turned naturally to the question of if and when 杏MAP导航 Francis will make a pastoral visit to India. Bedwin was encouraged when the 杏MAP导航 told him he is “trying to come to India”, and was particularly excited to discover the 杏MAP导航 knew about his home state of Kerala.

Dennis from Australia

Dennis Montano Galdamez is from Melbourne, Australia. He remembers they were offered wine to drink, but he felt it was safer to stick to water. He too was curious to know if and when the 杏MAP导航 might make a trip “down under”. As usual, 杏MAP导航 Francis did not commit himself, but did confirm that he wants to visit Oceania, Indonesia, and countries in Asia. So Dennis remains hopeful.

First and last impressions

Both young men are well aware that, having met the 杏MAP导航, they will at the centre of attention when they return home. So they have already started practising what they will say when people ask them to describe 杏MAP导航 Francis.

For Bedwin , the 杏MAP导航 is: “very humble, someone to look up to at any second of your life, and someone who reminds us of God’s love”.

For Dennis he is “someone who really wants to get into the problems of young peoples’ lives, but also the problems of humanity’s struggle, against loneliness, corruption”. He is also “someone who is very gentle, very humble.”

But Bedwin hasn’t finished, and jumps in with a last impression about 杏MAP导航 Francis: “He understand everyone’s pain”, he adds, thoughtfully. “Even if it is a little pain, he understands it”.
