“NO ONE IS EXCLUDED FROM THE POPE'S AFFECTION!”
Vatican City, 23 July 2013 (VIS) – At 3.40 p.m. yesterday (twenty
minutes ahead of schedule) the aeroplane carrying the Pope landed at the
carioca airport of Galeao where he was received by the president of the
Republic of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff,
accompanied by the governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Cabral Filho and
the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes. The Pope was also greeted by
Archbishop Orani Joao Tempesta of Sao Sebastiao do Rio de Janeiro, and
Cardinal Raymundo Damasceno
Assis, archbishop of Aparecida and president of the National Conference of
Bishops of Brazil. It was a warm and informal welcome, without formal
addresses, which were given later at the official welcome ceremony at
Guanabara Palace.
The Holy Father travelled the eight kilometres from the airport to the
presidential palace in a utility vehicle with the back window open to greet
the crowd who thronged the route. During some parts of the journey the vehicle
was forced to stop since
there were no security cordons to hold back the crowd. Upon nearing the
cathedral the vehicle was exchanged for the unarmoured Popemobile which will
be used during the visit, and the route was unexpectedly changed to enable the
Pope to greet the crowds
who had awaited him for hours.
Upon arrival at Guanabara Palace, Francis greeted the senior state and
diplomatic representative and, after listening to the anthems of Brazil and
Vatican City State, he gave his first address as Pope in the American
continent.
He began, “In his loving providence, God wished that the first
international trip of my pontificate should take me back to my beloved Latin
America, specifically to Brazil … I have learned that, to gain access
to the Brazilian people, it is
necessary to pass through its great heart; so let me knock gently at this
door. I ask permission to come in and spend this week with you. I have neither
silver nor gold, but I bring with me the most precious thing given to me:
Jesus Christ! I have come
in his name, to feed the flame of fraternal love that burns in every heart;
and I wish my greeting to reach one and all: The peace of Christ be with
you!”
The Pope went on to cordially greet the president for her warm welcome and
said to the bishops that, by his visit to Brazil, he wished to “pursue
the pastoral mission proper to the Bishop of Rome of confirming my brothers in
their faith in Christ,
of encouraging them to give an account of the reasons for the hope which comes
from him, and of inspiring them to offer everyone the inexhaustible riches of
his love”.
However, he continued, “the principal reason for my visit to Brazil goes
beyond its borders. I have actually come for World Youth Day. I am here to
meet young people coming from all over the world, drawn to the open arms of
Christ the Redeemer.
… These young people are from every continent, they speak many
languages, they bring with them different cultures, and yet they also find in
Christ the answer to their highest aspirations, held in common, and they can
satisfy the hunger for a
pure truth and an authentic love which binds them together in spite of
differences. … Christ has confidence in young people and entrusts them
with the very future of his mission, 'Go and make disciples'. Go beyond the
confines of what is humanly
possible and create a world of brothers and sisters! And young people have
confidence in Christ: they are not afraid to risk for him the only life they
have, because they know they will not be disappointed”.
He emphasised that, in addressing the young, he is also speaking to
“their families, their local and national church communities, the
societies they come from, and the men and women upon whom this new generation
largely depends”. He recalled
the saying, “'Our children are the apple of our eyes'. How beautiful is
this expression of Brazilian wisdom, which applies to young people an image
drawn from our eyes, which are the window through which light enters into us,
granting us the
miracle of sight! What would become of us if we didn’t look after our
eyes? How could we move forward? I hope that, during this week, each one of us
will ask ourselves this thought-provoking question. … Young people are
the window through
which the future enters the world, thus presenting us with great challenges.
Our generation will show that it can realize the promise found in each young
person when we know how to give them space; how to create the material and
spiritu
al
conditions for their full development; how to give them a solid basis on which
to build their lives”.
Pope Francis concluded by asking everyone to “show consideration towards
each other and, if possible, the sympathy needed to establish friendly
dialogue”. He added, “The arms of the Pope now spread to embrace
all of Brazil in its
human, cultural and religious complexity and richness. From the Amazon Basin
to the pampas, from the dry regions to the Pantanal, from the villages to the
great cities, no one is excluded from the Pope’s affection”.
After his address, Pope Francis met privately with the president and with the
governor and major of Rio de Janeiro. He then transferred to the Sumare
residence, which belongs to the archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, where he will
stay during his visit.
Today, Tuesday, the Pope will spend the day resting and acclimatising, and
will resume activities tomorrow with a visit to the shrine of Aparecida, 200
kilometres from the Brazilian capital.

POPE FRANCIS: JOURNALISTS, HELP ME WORK FOR THE GOOD OF SOCIETY
Vatican City, 23 July 2013 (VIS) – During the flight from Rome to Rio de
Janeiro, Pope Francis personally greeted the seventy media representatives who
accompanied him on the aircraft. On this, his first international apostolic
journey for World
Youth Day 2013, he expressed his gratitude and, thanking those present,
explained the meaning of his journey and his wish to encounter the young and
to promote a society able to unite the forces of youth with the experience and
wisdom of maturity.
“This first trip is precisely to meet the young, but to find them not
isolated from their lives – I would like to find them as part of the
social fabric, in society. Because, when we isolate the young, we do a great
injustice: we remove
their sense of belonging. The young belong – they belong to family, a
homeland, a culture, a faith... they belong in this way, and we must not
isolate them! But above all, we must not isolate them from the rest of
society. They – it is true
– are the future of the people, this is true! But not the young alone.
They are the future, they have the strength, they are young, they go
ahead”.
The Pope then recalled the “other extreme of life, the elderly - they
too are the future. A populace has a future if it advances on both sides.
… I often think we do injustice to the elderly; we cast them aside as
if they had nothing to
offer us. They have wisdom, the wisdom of life, the wisdom of history, the
wisdom of the homeland, the wisdom of the family, and we need all this”.
The Holy Father emphasised that “the global crisis does not bring good
to the young … we run the risk of having a generation that has never
had a job, and work brings the personal dignity of earning a living. The
young, at this time, are in
a situation of crisis. We are somewhat accustomed to this culture of
rejection: too often we discard the elderly. But now, also with the young
unemployed, the culture of rejection reaches them too. We have to eliminate
this habit of rejection!”
The Pope concluded by asking that the journalists help him in working for the
good of society, for both young and old.
