pope francis is a great inspiration to a lot of us...saint francis' "make me a channel of your peace" is one beautiful song... i bet this is the pope's favorite tune for he named himself after this saint :)...hope to visit the vatican in the future with my family...
great people do great things with the grace of God of course. for after all everything comes from Him. the pope is the head of the church, saint peter's successor, the first pope. the saint who refused to be crucified heads up like Jesus for he said that he is not worthy to be crucified like Him heads up. so they crucified him heads down per his request. what a man of faith, conviction and love for Jesus. he died for our Lord like our Lord died for us.
we turn on our faith
when everything
is down and dark
we say our prayers
when our hope
is fading fast
faith is like the sun above
it shines and guides us as we wade
through the thick forest of our dear life...
the power of love, sang by celine dion, played in piano by richard clayderman. the power of love is a leap of faith that one can do the impossible. one can fly above the clouds. one can go down the ocean deep. one can soar like an eagle's flight. as one can conquer all her wishes and dreams...if you have faith in God...
his address to the U.S. congress was so powerful. i hope and pray that this is the beginning of change in how the poor are treated, the welcome of immigrants, legal or illegal, they are humans with heartfelt aspirations for a better life and the respect of the rights of the unborn child...
i did shed a tear when he landed here last tuesday, it is an inexplicable feeling of joy. like God came into our country in person, flesh and blood. and that small fiat car he rode with is a sign of humility. we should emulate this pope. he is the voice of God here on earth in our present time. we are very lucky to witness this extraordinary event in our lifetime...
