Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

When he became a bishop in 1992, Bergoglio
chose as his motto miserando atque eligendo, ‘lowly and yet chosen.’
The phrase comes from a homily of the Venerable Bede reflecting on the Call of
Matthew. Matthew knew himself to be unworthy (read: ‘human’) yet Jesus chose
him, not despite but because of, his humanity. These words signal humility, and
may also reflect a common formulation of Jesuit identity: ‘What is it to be a
Jesuit? It is to know that one is a sinner; yet called to be a companion of
Jesus.’” – The Jesuit Post

Here are some more quotes etc by Pope Francis: http://inspiredangela.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/fun-inspiring-bits-about-pope-francis/

from his letter for lent:

“Lent is presented us as a shout of truth and
certain hope that comes us to say ‘Yes, it is possible to not slap on makeup,
and not draw plastic smiles as if nothing happened.’  Yes, it is possible that
all is made new and different because God remains ‘rich in kindness and mercy,
always willing to forgive’ and He encourages us to begin anew time and
again.”

I think God did good ! 🙂
