Kaban ni D_BystandeR; DILI MABANGBANG ANG KAMATUOTUOHON NI BOB BRADY!!!

I appreciate Congressman Bob Brady, D-Pennsylvania, for putting much of his faith as a true and devoted Catholic by picking up the glass that Pope Francis drank out of, and brought it back to his office. It reminds me of an incident narrated in the Holy Bible about a man who had long been dreaming to see and touch Jesus Christ to be cured of his longtime illness bothering him since childhood. And one day, when he  saw Jesus walking down the street swarmed by his followers and worshipers alike,  the man lost no time to even crouch from behind the crowd extending his arm to  reach out even a small portion of the Lord's garment. As the man's fingers touched  the Lord's clothing, it registered a mysterious chain reaction from Jesus who, then and there, tried to look back at His behind and saw a man having a hard time reaching Him  through his garment. And Jesus told the man, "Because of your strong faith in God, you will be cured of whatever ailment bothering you." And the man thanked Jesus profusely and he was miraculously healed of his illness because of his strong faith in God. And this could also probably take place to Congressman Brady who took  the pains of bringing the half-empty glass of Pope Francis back to his office where  he shared the liquid to to his chief of staff and to his wife, and also to his two children at home. That action alone that reflects the strong faith of the congressman to the heavenly attributes of Pope Francis in his historic trip to the US Congress on September 24 is remarkable!
