HOPE WITH THE POPE
For the last three years the Archdiocese of Philadelphia had worked tirelessly to make the Visit of our Holy Father Francis a historical one. It was indeed historic in every sense of the word. The weekend was a unique spiritual blessing for all people who were present with Pope Francis on the Parkway and those who watched him on TV. The “aha” moments are now over. The Pope has gone back to Rome. The dust has settled. Now the million dollar question is WHAT IS NEXT?
!I think the success of this visit is not what happened that weekend but what will continue to happen. In this pursuit the School had invited our Super Hero, Deacon Matt, to talk to the students of the 7th and 8th grades on October 1st. Deacon Matt, being inspired by the pope, inspired the students. To bring the session for a mean-ingful conclusion the students were asked to take a moment of silence and search for an answer to the question WHERE DID
THE POWER COME FROM FOR THIS SPIRITUAL RENEWAL?
!The first student who responded after the silence said GOD. What a wonderful and meaningful answer. Sometimes we focus our at-tention on external and emotional aspects so much that we miss reality. That is why Confucius once said, “When a wise man points at the moon, the imbecile examines the finger.” Pope Francis was a pointer. He directed us towards the reality of God. Pope Francis has emptied himself so fully that God finds a place to abide in him. He is an instrument in the hand of God. We cannot hide or refute this fact. In a culture that works tirelessly to deny the existence of God, and a society that finds fault and shame as the true nature of the Cath-olic Church, Pope Francis’ visit has proved beyond any doubt that Jesus Christ is God and Savior of the world and it is He who rules and guides the Catholic Church. Every Catholic should be proud and hold their head high in Joy and Freedom. The pride of being a Catholic is not an arrogant boasting but a way of life. All that we are, we think and do is motivated by our Faith. Our faith teaches that family is not a roof over our heads but a communion of hearts. Each of us should continuously and con-sciously find time and energy to invigorate OUR FAITH AND OUR
FAMILY LIFE. Some of the ways we could try to do this are6666666

"Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you
will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." At
that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for
he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said
to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have
wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" � Mk 10:21c�23 !
