The Pope Francis Effect part I

            I felt the indescribable feeling which other Filipinos felt when they saw Pope Francis with their bare eyes. Seeing his most pleasant and magnetic smile and waving his right and left hand as he went around the UST campus on board the Pope mobile, I felt so excited, overwhelmed, and more so, blessed. The anxiety, body pain, hunger and sleepy feelings I experienced earlier were all gone. I felt an unexplained feeling of consolation. I tried to hold back my tears of joy, but I was not able to do so. It is worth the effort. It is worth the sacrifice. It is a priceless moment, which I will never forget in my life. Thank you, Pope Francis, for strengthening our Catholic faith.
