reflections

ey, just watched tv... anyway, almost all the channels have the Pope John Paul II documentaries... being a Catholic, i couldn't say i wasn't affected... i know i may not seem like the type who is religious and all... and i'm not saying that i am... but, Christianity is a part of me... and i can't remove the faith i have.

anyway, while eating my lunch in front of the tv awhile ago, i felt the ground shaking, earthquake! but still i continue to finish my lunch and watch tv... well, that was the time my brother connected to the internet... heck, he shouted, "patay na pala si Pope John Paul..." then i turned the channel to cnn... seeing the Vatican full of people mourning for the death of one great man... the living (well, for the past 26 years at least) sheperd of the Catholic church... i remembered the book i read last time... "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown... it talks about the death of a Pope too... then his camerlengo was made Pope because the bishops chanted his name when he was ablazed like a holy being on top of the Vatican... not only that, i also remembered "The Da Vinci Code" also by Dan Brown. i mean, i was intrigued by the facts there about the Catholic church although some are merely fiction... anyway, my point is, i know my faith, at least i think i know enough... but even the most faithful follower still has secrets to unravel... everyone has... including did St. Peter even set foot on Rome? i mean, at least where the St. Peter's Basilica stands now... anyway, i'm not questioning... i'm simply curious about those things... i know i will find out soon...

so, the world lost a great leader who has build bridges over different culture... maybe the earthquake awhile ago was a premonition... that i should know that a great man has returned to the Supreme one, the almighty Creator, the Alpha and the Omega... i hope the next one to take the seat of our beloved Pope John Paul II will do just as great as our late pope... that's it!!!
