Pray for me, 2025
As Pope Francis faced a serious health crisis in early 2025, thousands of Argentines gathered in churches, plazas and spontaneous masses to pray for his recovery. For many, he was more than a religious leader: the first pope from Latin America, a voice for the humble and a symbol of closeness and compassion.
In Argentina, his illness prompted a profound outpouring of faith and affection for the pope who had once been Archbishop of Buenos Aires. These photographs document those moments of prayer and collective concern for a figure deeply rooted in the country’s memory.
