The conversation between the Pope and the superior of the congregation lasted 40 minutes. The first time he left a message on the answering machine that can be heard here.
The Pope Francisco has phoned a third time, the Carmelite convent of Lucena (Córdoba), today confirmed to Efe the superior of the congregation, the Argentina of Jesus Crucified Sister Adriana, who said he spoke with the Pope during 40 minutes.
The call came on the afternoon of Saturday, August 2.
Sister Adriana Jesus Crucified recalled that the first time he called the Pope was on December 31 last year and left a message on the answering machine that day called again and barely able to hold a brief conversation, but this time he spoke with the Successor of Peter for nearly three quarters of an hour.
Religious noted that in this third occasion also sounded the voice, as in the first, but arrived in time to attend the Pope Bergoglio, Argentina like her, and says that they are "friends, but religious friends", as declared today Efe.
Religious explained that the Pope called the convent at 16.10 pm on August 2 to inquire about the congregation and send a message of love to the people of Lucena through the cloistered community of Discalced Carmelite Mothers.
"I was leaving the same message on the answering machine when you picked up the phone," said the prioress, who remembers that famous "What are they doing the nuns, who can not attend?" Which went around the world.
In conversation Saturday, he conveyed the Pope anecdotes inhabitants of Lucena, like a neighbor who called the pope "Papa Curro", while Francis told him he was "in good health" and was preparing his next trip South Korea.
Also asked religious which transmit their affection for the people of Lucena, which they did immediately through his chaplain, Ivan Martin Tejada Hidalgo, made partaker of dialogue to David Aguilera Malagon, pastor of St. Matthew the Apostle and episcopal vicar of the Cordoba countryside.
"We are always amazed," said Sister Adriana, who, like two of his companions are Argentine and maintain a relationship with the Pope 15 years ago when Jorge Mario Bergoglio was archbishop of Buenos Aires. EFE
