Buenos Aires, Argentina, Oct 30, 2012 \/ 04:06 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires told thousands of children gathered in the Argentinean capital to \u201cencounter Jesus\u201d in the poor, Holy Communion and in the frequent reading of the Gospel.<\/p>\n

\tCardinal Bergoglio celebrated the traditional Archdiocesan Mass for Children on Oct. 27 at the Parque Roca Stadium in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

\tDuring his homily, he encouraged children to \u201cseek after Jesus\u201d and to find Him by \u201copening your hearts,\u201d participating in the Sacrament of Holy Communion and seeing Him in those in need.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWho told us that we can find Jesus in those most in need?\u201d the cardinal asked. \u201cMother Teresa,\u201d the children shouted in response. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\u201cAnd what did Mother Teresa have in her arms? A crucifix? No. A child in need. So, we can find Jesus in each person who is in need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\tAfter noting that very few children raised their hands when asked if they read the Gospel, Cardinal Bergoglio encouraged the children to say to their priests, \u201cFather, teach me the Gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe also reminded them that the strength for encountering Jesus \u201cis in the family, in mom and dad.\u201d\u00a0 The cardinal then invited the children to stand up and give \u201ca big round of applause to the Virgin Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tAt the conclusion of the Mass, Cardinal Bergoglio thanked the children for attending and those who made the Mass possible, as well as catechists and parents. He also expressed gratitude to Auxiliary Bishop Eduardo Garcia of Buenos Aires, who has helped organize the Mass for 25 years.<\/p>\n
