Edna Sasing Lao ~THIS IS THE BIGGEST INSULT OF ALL! - a slap in the Papal face made right at the very moment he was preaching about environmental cleanliness. He created the world as a beautiful garden and asked us to care for it.” Pope Francis homily at the concluding mass in Luneta 138 tons of garbage (GMA News post 1/19 as of 7:33pm) equivalent to 276,000 Lbs. !!! If there were 6,000,000 people in Luneta that day, each would have contributed approx 22 lbs or 10 kgs of garbage! This is the first acid test of our peoples true adulation....and we have miserably failed!!. It leaves to question: were we truly inspired by the Pope? Or were we just carried away by the hype and bandwagon mood of the day without even truly understanding the significance of it all... So what happened? Nobody listened to his talk? All that crying and shouting energy surely could have carried 10 kg of load, and it could have been the first passing mark to indicate that we have fully sucked up the Popes messages. As a matter of fact, the Pope told us to be silent. Listen. It wasnt the man we were rooting for, but Jesus whom he represented and most especially the messages that Jesus wanted to convey through him. Disappointing it maybe but this should be a wake up call to all of us. If we cannot even clean up our physical garbage, how can we clean our spiritual trash? Cleanliness is next to Godliness. They love Pope Francis but not the environment, not the community. If they had containers for the food they brought, they could bring them back until they found a trash bin.
