Day of Hope: 5 years after Pope Francis' Statio Orbis
On March 27, 2020, the world witnessed an unforgettable image: Pope Francis, alone in an empty St. Peter's Square, in the rain, offering an extraordinary prayer in the Statio Orbis. That moment transcended the religious and became a global symbol of hope and unity.
Five years later, Infobae.com will broadcast the special "Day of Hope: 5 years after the Statio Orbis of Pope Francis", a program that invites us to reflect on its impact and its validity today. The broadcast will be on March 27 at 17:00 (Argentina time) and can be followed throughout Latin America.
The program will feature the participation of leaders from the Church, justice, academia and journalism, including Cardinal Michael Czerny, Cardinal Pedro Barreto, Paolo Ruffini, Bishop Lucio Ruiz, Bishop Raúl Pizarro Travers, Bishop Lizardo Estrada, Bishop Pedro Brassesco, Judge Ricardo Lorenzetti, Austen Ivereigh, Father Daniel Groody and Gabriela Sacco. It will be hosted by Paula Guardia Bourdin from Infobae and Massimiliano Menichetti from Vatican Media.
The program is part of the actions for the World Day of Hope, an initiative of the Institute for Global Dialogue and the Culture of Encounter with the support of the Vatican Dicastery for Communication together with CELAM, CEAMA, REPAM, CLAR, CIEC, Cáritas Latin America and the Caribbean and the Episcopal Conference Argentina.
Each segment will include exclusive fragments of the Statio Orbis, reliving that historical moment and reflecting on the leadership of Pope Francis. As a closing, the audience will be invited to celebrate March 27 as a day of unity and hope, remembering the words of Francis: "No one is saved alone. In this boat, we are all."
