The Papal Chronicles Philippine Edition: Introduction

The Philippines, the nation with the biggest Roman Catholic population in Asia, was blessed over a span of five glorious days with the visit of a personality of our time, Pope Francis.

From January 15 to 19, 2015, we Filipinos became witnesses to a monstrous surge of spiritual renewal as only Pope Francis could make it. In this five-day period, the pontiff met with people from various walks of life from poor families to Yolanda survivors to the youth sector, and all were enthralled by him.

And, as it turned out, he was just as enthralled by us.

The following articles will not be as long as my previous ones on Yolanda (which, as of this writing, has yet to be concluded). 

The trouble nga naman about writing lengthy articles is the tendency to stop somewhere in the middle then trail off from there, essentially rendering the work incomplete.

Sayang naman (It would really be a pity) if I start rambling about this beautiful person who just visited Philippine shores, then discontinue what I started.

You will also notice that the next articles on the papal visit will not be in chronological order. After all, almost every source of news already laid out the Pope's schedule from Day 1 until he left so I don't need to revisit his schedule.

So there, let's get this thing started, and allow me to give you the Papal Chronicles Philippine Edition!
