 Eights  days more to go, we will be receiving a vibrant, joyful yet fearless visitor in the person of Pope Francis. God bless us Filipinos to have Pope Francis for few days to journey and pray with us. Praise God for this blessing. 

Pope Francis moves me to ponder to how should I witness and live the gospel.   He challenged me to be brave not according the ground of my ideology and philosophy but according to the teachings of my God.  That amidst of scarcity, life has to be lived joyfully. This is what to be  blessed,

Humility is virtue  to practice for one to live a joyful life. When we speak good things about others we are  experiencing authentic joy than talking ill against other people.   In moments that I humiliated, a ray of hope would surface out.  Hope also makes us joyful.

One of my great fears is to put my self sitting in the dental chair. It made my blood pressure high to the point that both the dentist and self collapsed. My teeth becomes an indicator of my retirement day.. for I will no longer work when my teeth will no longer be in placed and could no longer be replace by a false teeth. 

At the second day of the  retreat as I took my breakfast with the retreatants. I sense that something was cracking in my mouth and as go on chewing the food I recognized that I am already chewing  my two teeth. What a wonderful moment for like me who could not sit in the dental chair because of my uncontrollable fear.

It is an answered prayers. As I keep on requesting and asking God to in place my teeth for it is vital part of me and to my ministry and  mission.  Days from now I will have a new but false teeth. Thanks be God for He works wonder in my two teeth.

" God willing" Pope Francis will visit our beloved Philippines in 2015. Pope Francis wishes to visit the Yolanda victim places in the Visayas. With regards of the exact date, this has to be released by the Vatican according to Cardinal Tagle.

Organizers of the visit conducted already an inspection of the possible places to be visited by the Pope Francis. 

What is touching in this visit is that it will be  simple and pastoral in its very nature. Cardinal Tagle said, that the Pope wants to encounter the suffered people by the typhoon Yolanda.

Bishop Villegas also called the people to prepare for the coming of the Holy Father. People are called to pray in personal and family prayer and be charitable. 

Our compassionate shepherd comes to show his deep concern for our people who have gone through devastating calamities, especially in the Visayas. He comes to confirm us in our faith as we face the challenges of witnessing to the Joy of the gospel in the midst of our trials." Bishop Villegas said.
