Francis pays homage to humility

Francis I inspired by San Francisco de Asis to choose his name

Why chose the Pope the name Francis? Because for him the humility has been a practice of life. Their way of life is different from that of other Cardinals and bishops, since he lives in a small apartment, however that was offered him the Archbishop’s House.

Profile bass, is a shy man who has very few simple tastes and public appearances, proof is that it is transported by Buenos Aires subte (subway) or collective (bus) and always travel by air in economy class.

Jorge Bergoglio highlights his concern for the poor. It is no coincidence this Jesuit choice by name of Francis, in homage to Saint Francis of Assisi, the Holy I practise humility.

St Francis of Assis

He preached poverty as a value and raised a simple style of life based on the ideals of the Gospels. Pope Inocencio III was the one who adopted its model of religious life, and ordered him deacon. With the passage of time, the number of its followers was increasing and Francisco began to form a religious order, which he called the Franciscans.

St. Francis of Assis was sanctified on July 15, 1226, two years after his death, and won the respect and admiration of their successors by both its model of austerity and his poetic sensibility.
