Of the four brothers that Jorge Mario Bergoglio had, only María Elena, 77, is still alive. It was she who, between enthusiasm and emotion, anticipated that Francisco “was going to be a Pope who would change our church,” when he was designated in March 2013 at the head of the Vatican. This time, he had to receive the news that he never wanted to hear: the death of the Supreme Pontiff, which occurred on Monday morning at 88 years. For a moment he thought it was the alarm of the alarm, but it was the news that shocked the world. “I called my brother and we met my mother to be the ones who communicated that Jorge had left,” said Bergoglio’s nephew in dialogue with Caracol News. “Within the misfortune of losing a love His brother rests in peace and does not suffer. ”The nephew of the exarzobispo of Buenos Aires said that, when the Pope made his appearance on Easter Sunday – a day before his death – on the main balcony of the Basilica of San Pedro,” he saw a man who beat the disease. ” However, he changed his mind to see the images again these days. “He was saying goodbye. And he did so giving his last signs of love. Jorge’s love was huge, I stay with that,” he said. “This last week we saw in Jorge a person who was fighting for living and fulfilling his mission: to deliver a last gesture of love to the world,” he said. Along the same lines, he stressed: “We had a very close and attentive relationship.” “In these 12 years of Jorge in the Vatican, we have not felt so much the distance because it was that relative who always called and was. Despite the investiture. “It was authentic and close. It was that uncle who called home as a potato and began the conversation with a joke. It was also firm; if I had to challenge you, I did it. He did it with me when I was not making the best decisions of my life. I knew me or advised and advise,” he said. Pulmonary from a young age, he had to decide if he loved God or a woman, and live as a Jesuit in a very dark era of our country (referring to the last coup d’etat). ” He also highlighted the “courage” of accepting such responsibility when the Holy Spirit asked him to be Peter’s successor on this earth, “at the head of the Vatican. In addition, he praised that his uncle “understood that true power is the service and that it is to serve and not serve.” He was waiting for Easter Sunday to tell his uncle. “It was pending, but from where she is already knowing that she is baby, the name, and she will help us guide her in this life. I hope to transmit to her the teachings he left me,” he said.
