The Visit

 The expected time of Pope Francis' visit this coming January 15, 2015 create excitement to every Filipinos. For them it is always a cause for joy and celebration and a great blessing. It was said that the last papal visit was twenty years ago. It was quite a long time since it happened and every Filipinos are looking forward for this great event. The proposed venues of the papal mass was already finalized and arranged. They give their best to prepare for his visit for they admired how he served.. Thus, people testified that he served with humility and happiness. People look up to him because of his simplicity and how he slowly influenced the church in living an exemplary life.

Knowing this fact made me realized how Pope Francis touched the hearts of every Filipinos. The preparations they made, and how they showed reverence to him proves that this is a serious thing and everyone is waiting for this time to come. Also how Filipinos valued his visits to different places and his ministry of conducting mass is so much appreciated and many people are so much devoted to him.

Personally, I am sad hearing this news because I know for sure that the more people will never know God. The pope has so much created an impact to every Filipino citizen that there are so many people being led astray from what is right. They are so much blinded and for sure they believe that what they are doing is correct. As a Christian, I have a great mission to take to share the good news to others by my life and words. Since I am living in this dark world, I have to keep shining for Jesus. I have to pray more for opportunities in reaching the lost and to have more passion and love in doing it and also to disciple others so they can help others too. I have to also pray for my fellow believers that they may be active enough in participating the Great Commission that they will never take it lightly but acknowledge the urgency of doing it and it is a command from God. May every Christian displays a life that honors the Lord that when people witness it, they will be interested in knowing God and the difference He made to someone who chose to believe and receive Christ by faith. We have to continually proclaim the God we are serving and be compassionate enough to those who are still sinking deep in sin.
