A look at a typical day for the Pope

this is one of the Pope's closest collaborators for years he worked with the Vatican Secretariat of state and then in 2006 he was named a master of Pontifical ceremonies things change for this Argentinean though when the Pope was elected that's him standing right next to the Pope the quest delays as you know after having breakfast I talked to him for a bit practically on a daily basis we catch up and of course I keep him up to date with news in Argentina when it comes to the Pope's schedule he says he follows a strict pattern he wakes up at 4:30 every morning from 5 to 7 he prays and prepares the homily for his daily method Casa Santa Marta after greeting everyone there he has breakfast and then he gets to work everything from private meetings to public events tiene muchas capacidad de trabajo Mucha capacity he can manage a lot of work he's a very good listener and he connects with people easily in fact he's convinced that God makes himself present in these daily encounters after meeting and greeting people he also takes time to answer some letters after lunch between 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock he takes a break he then follows up with more meetings until 7 o'clock he praised the rosary the Vespers and rates a few documents before calling it a day at roughly 10 p.m. despite the events he canceled a few weeks ago Cashner says his health is fine and sometimes he just needs to take a pause and fafa Sarita muy bien is an episode of health wise he's doing well he's strong and he's healthy he's gotten used to a very organized schedule and it's not by chance he wants it that way and it's a rhythm he personally sets and I don't think it wears him out in the summer months of July and August the Pope has less public events but behind closed doors he's never really off the clock el Papa beretta made a fool even though the Pope doesn't schedule as many events these months and despite the fact that Rome slows down during the summer the Pope never really takes a vacation it's something he links back to his time as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires where a lot of people couldn't really take a vacation he knows is a privileged not everyone can enjoy so no vacation and interestingly no television either Pope Francis apparently doesn't watch TV and he didn't see the World Cup and when it comes to food kashyap says the Pope misses Argentina's famous meats and so it may seem like just a regular day for someone who wants to be recognized as just a regular Argentinian with an average Passport except of course for the fact that he is the head of the Catholic Church in the spiritual leader of more than 1 billion Catholics
