In his address to the cardinals, John Paul I, newly elected after the Pope’s Conference in August 1978, called the living representative of Christ the representative of the poor Christ. This sentence touched me deeply and I was deeply impressed by the style of the new Pope. His words were simple, direct, simple and easy to understand.
(Vatican news network) On 10 August, Patriarch Luciani left Venice at 6 in the morning. It was his last farewell to Venice, accompanied only by his secretary.
He left early, but didn’t expect a photographer to be lurking there all night, and captured the shot of him exiting the arch of the back door of the sovereign’s mansion and boarding the speedboat.
He left almost in silence, without waiting for someone to greet him. It was his last moments of him in town, where he arrived eight years ago. Therefore, this time, he thought that this time he would only be away temporarily for a few days.
