MARY IS A GREAT MISSIONARY. POPE FRANCIS Mary did not just want to visit the Americas, the pope said, the image on the cloak or tilma is a sign that she wanted to remain with them. Through her intercession, the Christian faith began to become the greatest treasure of the American peoples, Pope Francis said, a treasure transmitted and demonstrated even today in the baptism of multitudes of people, in the faith, hope and charity of many, in their precious popular piety and in that ethos of the people who show that they know the dignity of the human person, in their passion for justice, in solidarity with the poor and suffering.
