I wonder if the volcano erupting in Chile has anything to do with this appointment by Pope Francis. What do you think?

Only God knows. :)
Also interesting is the December 17, 1936 entry in St. Faustina’s Diary (note that 12/17/36 is the birthdate of Pope Francis):
“I have offered this day for priests. I have suffered more today than ever before, both interiorly and exteriorly. I did not know it was possible to suffer so much in one day. I tried to make a Holy Hour, in the course of which my spirit had a taste of the bitterness of the Garden of Gethsemane. I am fighting alone, supported by His arm, against all the difficulties that face me like unassailable walls. But I trust in the power of His name and I fear nothing.”
