True Living GOd

 As I read and watched the news about the papal visit in the Philippines I felt sad knowing how prepared the Catholic people for his coming. I even watched in the TV news once when the newscaster discussed about how to properly conduct if ever they encountered the pope. Men and women need to present themselves in front of the pope decently and appropriately. They really give a higher regard to the pope. “Your holiness or holy father” they said, are words that should be used to address the pope. Its is Only God, the true living God, deserves to be called Holy Father and deserves the highest regard of worship and honor of many people. I believe that Filipinos are very hospitable and generous in dealing visitors, but the way they are preparing themselves for the coming of pope is beyond with the honor and respect that he deserved. For me their honor and respect intended for the pope is a blasphemy before God. It seemed to me that the pope is more for them than the true God, Jesus the Emmanuel. People’s minds and hearts are totally inclined and corrupted to what they thought are right. The coming of the pope to the Philippines brings me negative feelings. They are maybe discussing important issues in the country or their belief his presence is not the key for the change of the country. It is God alone who can do that and no one else. God will be praised in spite of the things that are happening now.
