My Pope Philippines - October 2018

In this issue

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that we celebrate My Pope’s first- year anniversary as our dear Pope Francis finds himself in the spotlight under the most trying circumstances. But just as our Pope has always inspired us in good times, he has proven to be even more admirable when faced with challenges.

Instead of acting defensively, he has shown his character, reminding us all to live with truth, integrity, and love as our guiding lights. Indeed, the world can be a very dark place, but we must always remember that—like Pope Francis—we do not need to succumb to negativity. Instead, we can choose to focus on what brings happiness and inspiration to our lives.
