Pope Francis in the Philippines Read Online Free Page A

angle to us , with a different eye . Women are able to pose questions we men are unable to understand . Look out for this fact : she is the only one who has put a question for which there is no answer . She couldn ’ t put it into words but expressed it with tears . So when the next pope comes to Manila , please let there be more girls .
    I thank you Jun for talking about your experience so bravely . As I said , the heart of your question has no reply . Only when we too can cry about the things you said can we come close to answering that question . Why do children suffer so much ? Why do children suffer ? When the heart is able to ask itself and weep , then we can understand something . There is a worldly compassion which is useless . You expressed something like this . It ’ s a compassion that makes us put our hands in our pockets and give something to the poor . But if Christ had had that kind of compassion he would have greeted a couple of people , given them something , and walked on . But it was only when he was able to cry that he understood something of our lives . Dear young boys and girls , today ’ s world doesn ’ t know how to cry . The emarginated people , those left to one side , are crying . Those who are discarded are crying . But we don ’ t understand much about these people in need . Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed by our tears . I invite each one here to ask yourself : have I learned how to weep ? Have I learned how to weep for the emarginated or for a street child who has a drug problem or for an abused child ? Unfortunately there are those who cry because they want something else .
    This is the first thing I want to say : let us learn how to weep as she has shown us today and let us not forget this lesson . The great question of why so many children suffer , she did this in tears . The response that we can make today is : let us really learn how to weep .
    In the Gospel , Jesus cried for his dead friend , he cried in his heart for the family who lost its child , for the poor widow who had to bury her son . He was moved to tears and compassion when he saw the crowds without a pastor . If you don ’ t learn how to cry , you cannot be a good Christian . This is a challenge . When they posed this question to us , why children suffer , why this or that tragedy occurs in life – our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears . Be courageous , don ’ t be afraid to cry .
    Then came Leandro Santos II and his question . He also posed a good question : the world of information . Today , with so many means of communication we are overloaded with information . Is that bad ? No . It is good and can help . But there is a real danger of living in a way that we accumulate information . We have so much information but maybe we don ’ t know what to do with that information . So we run the risk of becoming museums of young people who have everything but not knowing what to do with it . We don ’ t need young museums but we do need holy young people . You may ask me : Father , how do we become saints ? This is another challenge . It is the challenge of love . What is the most important subject you have to lean at university ? What is most important subject you have to learn in life ? To learn how to love . This is the challenge that life offers you : to learn bow to love . Not just to accumulate information without knowing what to do with it .. But through that love let that information bear fruit .
    For this the Gospel offers us a serene way forward : using the three languages of the mind , heart and hands – and to use them in harmony . What you think , you must feel and put into effect . Your information comes down to your heart and you put it into practice . Harmoniously . What you think , you feel and you do . Feel what you think and feel what you do . Do what you think and what you feel . The three languages ...
    Can you repeat this ? To think . To feel
