I
have been most impressed with some of the stories floating around
about the new Pope. But today I saw an interview with Pope Francis
and this is how the interview started: “I ask Pope Francis
point-blank: “Who is Jorge Mario Bergoglio?” He stares at me in
silence. I ask him if I may ask him this question. He nods and
replies: “I do not know what might be the most fitting
description…. I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition.
It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.” I
love that answer and it accurately describes all of us.
I
find it refreshing when a church leader admits who he is. I love the
reminder and today I am going to reflect on my own state in life and
come again before God just as I am. I believe this is the path to a
new life in Christ.
