At the age of 21,Jorge went to check up due to severe pneumonia ,Doctor told him they have to idea whether he will live or die, What happen next how he survived and how he became Pope Francis is kind of miracle .

Story of Pope Francis 

Jorge had always been a seeker. he was born on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. to Italian immigrant parents, young Jorge was inquisitive and thoughtful, often gazing out at the world from his small window as if trying to decode its mysteries. The streets of Flores, his bustling neighborhood, were alive with the sounds of children playing, vendors shouting, and the faint melodies of tango drifting from a nearby café. But Jorge found solace not in the chaos but in the quiet corners - whether in the stacks of a humble library or in the serene stillness of a nearby chapel.

One rainy afternoon, at the age of 17, Jorge made his way to the church after an argument with his parents. He hadn't planned on entering; he simply sought a moment to calm his turbulent mind. But as he stepped inside, the faint aroma of incense and the flicker of candlelight surrounded him. It was there, in that moment of solitude, that he felt a deep calling. It wasn't a voice or a vision, but a profound sense of purpose, like the soft rhythm of a heartbeat guiding him forward. That day, Jorge decided to join the seminary.

Jorge's journey was not an easy one. In his youth, he worked as a bouncer at a nightclub, swept floors in a lab, and even pursued a degree in chemistry before fully committing to the priesthood. Each of these experiences grounded him, teaching him humility and the value of hard

work. When he eventually donned the collar of a priest, he didn't see it as a title of authority but as a symbol of service.

jorge was just normal 21year old , who had recently graduated with chemical engineering degree . At that time he affected really bad pneumonia , that made his struggle to breathe, since they don't have antibiotics at that time, he have to spend in hospital for months .

For jorge things got bad to worse, Doctors don't know whether he will live or die, but doctors operated on him, Jorge underwent surgery to remove the upper lobe of his right lung due to a severe respiratory infection. This left him more vulnerable to respiratory issues as he aged, including bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia.

Later jorge did so many jobs, due to his health issues he didn't get proper job, he worked as a janitor , a high school teacher , and he also worked as night club bouncer, nothing satisfy him, he really don't know what to do with his life.

Shortly before his pneumonia surgery he went to his local church decided to start training to become a priest. After surgery miracle happened Jorge recovered well and he became priest.

As Father Jorge, he was different. While others in the clergy often donned ornate robes and preferred the confines of gilded churches, Jorge walked the slums of Buenos Aires, greeting the poor and the marginalized with open arms. He saw God not in the pages of heavy tomes but in the tired eyes of a laborer, the hopeful smile of a child, and the outstretched hand of someone in need. His humility became his trademark. He cooked his own meals, rode the bus, and spoke plainly but powerfully.

50 Years later, in 2013, the world watched in anticipation as white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel. When the new pope stepped onto the balcony, there was a collective gasp. It was Jorge, now Pope Francis, standing there in his simple white cassock. His first words were not a proclamation of power but a humble request: "Pray for me."

Jorge became the first non European in centuries to be appointed Pope, and he chose Pope Francis name. he was the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit, and the first from the Southern Hemisphere, known for his humility, concern for the poor, and commitment to interreligious dialogue.

As Pope Francis, he carried his humility to the global stage, advocating for the poor, urging care for the environment, and calling for compassion in a divided world. But to those who knew him from Flores, he remained Jorge - the boy who once sought answers in the quiet corners of life and found his purpose not in grandeur but in grace.

Pope Francis, died on April 21, 2025, at the age of 88, after a short illness.

Despite his declining health, Pope Francis remained devoted to his faith and duties. He was admitted to the hospital in February 2025 for a respiratory crisis and passed away on April 21, 2025, at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.
