Share for the Work is plentiful

It was January 1995 when Pope John Paul II last visited Philippines. 20 years had passed by and now, another Pope will be visiting Philippines again by the name of Jorge Mario Bergoglio or what most of the people know as Pope Francis. Just like Pope John Paul's last visit, millions of Filipinos are expected to attend especially during the mass that he will be going to celebrate.

For many Filipinos, this event will be the most special for them but as a believer of Christ, it is sad to know that many are still blinded by the truth. Seeing mostly of the Filipinos idolizing a mere human is just painful when all they want to have is to find the true happiness and peace that they are looking for. It's just sad that they are looking for it in a person that they believe is from God and not to God directly. They thought that the one they see has an equal power and authority with God.

I don't really know the reason why he chose Philippines to become one of the Asian countries that he's going to visit but whatever the reason is, it is really important to the Catholic Filipino people. We can look at it in the social medias how excited Filipinos are that they are sending their messages even asking the pope to bless our country. This situation is an evidence how still big the work of the Christians is in proclaiming the truth to the people. We should not wait for this kind of event to come before making an effort to share the truth about Jesus. We should not wait for the day that we will see millions of people shouting and chanting their admiration to a mere creation when we are capable of helping them open their eyes to what is true.

If before we've done nothing, now we have to do something. The pope's coming is an opportunity to proclaim God's true peace to the people.
