Dear
Pope Francis,
Welcome to the Philippines Lolo Kiko!
Welcome to the place where I was born and raised. Welcome to a nation with more
than seven thousand islands, a nation who have many dialects, a nations with
varying cultures and tradition, and a nation whose spirit is renewed with your
arrival.
Thank you for visiting us. Thank you
for your mercy and compassion. Thank you for giving us hope. We are all happy
that you are here in the Philippines for you are with us.
Before I go further I have to admit
that I am nervous writing to you. Perhaps it is the idea that you are the
highest leader of the Church. But seeing what you have done while the news of
your arrival is going on I am inspired. I am inspired by your humility and
simplicity.
I pray for your safety and good
health. We pray that the Holy Spirit guide you in all your duties.
Pope Francis, I humbly ask you to
pray for our nation, that our hearts may heal and forgive. That the people,
especially the youth like me may be inspired by your teachings and way of life.
That we may do what we aspire in our lives. That our relationships with our
family, friends or the strangers strengthen.
As I write this, a news coverage is
going on the television of your arrival up to the motorcade. I cannot express
how happy I am. I can see the excitement of everyone, shouting, “We love you
Pope Francis”. We truly love you Pope Francis.
May the Lord Bless You Always.
Maupay
nga pag-abot Pope Francis!
