Everyone was so excited in the visit of our Pope here in the
Philippines. We know that this happens only once every decade or few years so
almost everybody prepared and planned things so they can see the Pope in
personal. Honestly at first, I also want to see the Pope but I was not doing an
effort like telling my parents to go in Manila. I was contented seeing him on
the television for I think that going with the crowd in Manila is so hard. It
was like I am already contented in seeing him a television for I think that
travelling up to Manila is so tiring.
There came the day of arrival of
Pope Francis. I watched it on a television while it was being aired live on it.
By seeing him on the television, I felt something rejoicing on my chest. It was
like happiness exists in the whole country. The mere presence of the pope in
the country has a big effect towards everyone. I watched masses he held and I
also searched some facts about our pope in the internet. I admired him a lot
after knowing things he had done.
Another mass was held in
Tacloban. I also watched the arrival of pope to Tacloban in that television. While
the people there are waiting for the plane the pope is riding to arrive, it
seemed that I am also feeling what they are feeling. I was also excited with
the arrival of the Pope. Then the plane was now seen, until he walked down from
the plane. The joy felt of the people who waited for him patiently was also
felt by me. Watching the pope going down from the plane and riding the vehicle
somewhat amazed me. Even though it was somewhat raining, the pope went down
from the plane without an umbrella. I really admired him. I felt like blessed
for I can see the pope. Suddenly, I felt the urge of seeing him in personal.
With his stay here in the
Philippines, the atmosphere seemed light and holy. By just seeing him on the
television, I am somewhat blessed and it feels like I am also there with him. I
learned a lot from him. From his nice advises and beliefs, I gained more
knowledge. I wished more people would be inspired by our Pope aside from us. I
wished Pope Francis would come back here in Philippines soon where I can have
the chance to see him and when that time comes, I would not waste that
opportunity.
