The virtue of persistence allows us to focus on a task and see it through to completion. It means taking the next step, no matter how small that step may be.

From janitor… to the people’s pope.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina — the son of Italian immigrants, raised in a humble working-class home.

As a young man, he swept floors at a factory, studied chemistry, worked as a food technician, and even spent time as a nightclub bouncer to help pay the bills.

But his life took a dramatic turn when he answered a deeper calling.

He joined the Jesuits and was ordained a priest in 1969. Known for his quiet humility and unwavering dedication to the poor, he never sought power — but his values carried him upward.

First a bishop, then archbishop, then cardinal.

And in 2013, he made history: the first Latin American pope.
The first Jesuit pope.
The first to take the name Francis — a sign of his devotion to simplicity, peace, and the forgotten.

He rejected the lavish lifestyle of the Vatican.
He rode buses, carried his own bags, embraced outcasts, and washed the feet of the incarcerated.

He wasn’t just a pope. He was a symbol of compassion in power.
