396. Pope Francis' Secretary Says Mass at Our Church

As we approached the visiting priest, I asked him his name to which he answered: “Father Fabian.” 

Naturally I wanted his surname too, but all he said was: “Just Father Fabian.” So my colleague asked, 

“Where are you from?” and he said: “Buenos Aires.”

“That’s where Jorge Bergoglio comes from!” I shouted excited.

“In effect,” he said quietly, “I’m his secretary.” 

We looked at him, goggled eyed. Then I threw my arms around him, and said: “You must give the Pope a big kiss from us.” Just as I was about to kiss his cheek, I drew back, “Oh, I’ve lipstick on, I can’t.” He just laughed and said “That’s ok... go ahead.” 

We thought that was simply beautiful!
