Birthday of Pope Francis who turned 86 today. A day's work like any other, in the name of the poor. Indeed, early in the morning the pontiff received in the Vatican Apostolic Palace, a delegation of “Mother Teresa Award“. And he presented an award to three people who spend themselves on behalf of the poor. It's about father Hanna Jallouf, Franciscan, which is spent on behalf of the poor in Syria in times of continuous and devastating war. Gian Piero, known as Wué, a clochard who every day allocates a part of the donations collected to help people poorer than him. Silvano Pedrollo, industrialist from Verona, who employs a significant portion of his company's profits to assist and relieve the poorest in various nations of theAfrica, India and Latin America. Resources that it uses to build schools, wells and health facilities.

Happy birthday Pope Francis

“I thank you for this visit so full of affection and full of messages. The message of poverty, the message of closeness, the message of brotherhood, - Francis said - the message of prayer, which is the legacy that Mother Teresa he always gave us. Even prayer in dark times, because this woman has been through real spiritual storms with the dark inside her, but she kept on praying. brave! May Mother Teresa help us from heaven to live poverty with simplicity and prayer. Thus we can help others, and it is not a simple charity; a charity is good, but it is pagan. Christian is closeness, charity with prayer. And that's good." The pontiff received greetings from institutional representatives from all over the world including the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
