He's here!

Lolo Kiko is HERE!
According to the Bible, “And He said, My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exodus 33:14). In this verse, we, Christians believe that God is with us. Even if we cannot see Him with our own eyes but we keep in our minds, our hearts and our souls that God is always exists everywhere. It is not literally mean that God’s presence is when we can touch, we share laughter, and we can hug. Beyond on that, we feel His presence through our spiritual essence.

            With the coming of our Pope, I wish that I will meet the Pope personally. But even if I can’t see him personally, I am grateful that Pope Francis will visit us for all Filipinos, most especially to the Yolanda victim in Tacloban. Through his presence, he inspires us and give us hope to become strong whatever challenges we encounter. He shows his mercy and compassion for the Filipinos. Because of him, many Filipinos are trying to move on and start a new beginning of their life after those traumatic experiences they had. Moreover, the Pope’s visit is for all of us Filipinos, not only for the Christians but also for the non- Christians. He is our shepherd that wants his flock not to get lost because he love us so much. Like Jesus Christ, Pope Francis showed compassion to the people, especially the poor and the oppressed. This man has his own way of sharing God’s love and compassion.Through him, our faith will be much more strengthen and it arouses our aspirations in life to be like Christ. With your simple smile, you lessen the sadness and grief of those people.

            I pray for your safety here in our country. I thank you for the love you give to the Filipinos.
