Loving the messages from Pope Francis in Philadelphia. The city and the country are experiencing a great revival just when we desperately need one. He is the messenger from God to us. I am not catholic but I am a christian and have always appreciated the liturgy of the catholic church. I appreciate their ceremonies and symbolism as part of their worship; especially the incense.
The pope addressed every area of our society, even education as much application can be made toward education in America. Consider the lowly, the urban schools who often suffer most. Pope Francis said that God is in our cities. I have taught in the city since 1987 and understand the many needs of the city. I always felt like the city is my mission field. The work is difficult and demanding but one can not find greater reward than being in God’s place for you. The smiles and hugs from the children who express gratitude for my service are truly priceless.
