Rome, Italy, Mar 18, 2013 \/ 04:02 pm (CNA<\/a>).- The retired cardinal of Parana, Argentina, described his friend Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio \u2013 now Pope Francis \u2013 as an able pastor with the heart of a missionary.<\/p>\n

\tIn an interview with CNA, Cardinal Estanislao Esteban Karlic said it was a \u201chuge surprise\u201d to see his friend appear on the loggia of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica dressed in white.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe Lord loves us so much, he gave us this immense gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI pray to God that I will not forget that moment so that I can thank him and so that I can pray for our beloved brother Jorge whom we will now call Francis,\u201d the cardinal said.<\/p>\n

\tHe added that the Pope \u201ccarries in his heart the message of the Gospel so that it be spread throughout the world and received by all men and women, that it may infuse in us a missionary and evangelical spirit, to the ends of the earth, such that there be no place in the world where the name of Jesus is not heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tCardinal Karlic said Pope Francis will help everyone \u201cunderstand once again that we all have something to give to others, we all have something to receive from others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThis is true, he said, \u201cbecause the truth of God, of the Church, of humanity, is communion among those who love each other as brothers and sisters, as individuals, as families, as nations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe cardinal said that seeing a fellow Argentinian elected Pope \u201cis not only a very great honor but also a call to follow his guidance\u201d in serving God.<\/p>\n

\tPope Francis will always be the first Latin American Pope, he continued, explaining that \u201cthis represents a very important historical moment\u201d and a sign of great fruit to be borne in the region\u2019s sanctity.<\/p>\n

\tThe Holy Father \u201cis a very simple man\u201d who is \u201ccapable of confronting the simplest and also the most complex of issues,\u201d Cardinal Karlic continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\u201cHe is a man of reflection who puts his wisdom into action. He did so first in leading the Jesuits, later in the Diocese of Buenos Aires, and now in leading the Church as the Supreme Pontiff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe fact that he is the first Jesuit in history to be Pope and has chosen the name of Francis, \u201cthe name of the humble founder of the Franciscans,\u201d describes perfectly the Holy Father\u2019s personality, Cardinal Karlic said.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI would even say that in his heart, St. Ignatius of Loyola \u2013 the founder of the Jesuits \u2013 was greatly inspired by St. Francis to care for the poor\u2026because all of the saints wish to imitate other saints in many of their qualities,\u201d the cardinal said.<\/p>\n
