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!
