The positive effect of Pope Francis

Ever since he has been elected as Pope, he has been in the news but in positive sense. He has touched the hearts and minds of everyone with his simple words and life style. I sometimes feel that St. Francis of Assisi is re-born again. St. Francis is come again to re-evangelise the 21st Century world again. The world needs him very badly and he is doing his best to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. He has called first and foremost his own collaborators to do the act of cleaning and get personal experience of Jesus in order to make him know to the nook and corner. Popes homilies, talks and encouters are nothing but the extension of the personality of St. Francis.
All over the world the Catholics and others are speaking good of him and it is a good feeling. I feel proud and happy to hear people speaking positively about the Pope. Many Catholics who had give up hopes for a change in the Catholic Church are now suddenly filled with positive hopes. One Catholic whom i know for years has not been practising her faith but for last four months she has found herself back into the church and many other social activites. She said that the Pope has inspired her. I am sure including you and me are too inspired and spured on to do the same as the Pope. He is challenging us every day. read his homilies and addresses, they are full of new challenges. The world and society is changing and taking a new direction all together. The moral values are taking a back seat. The great and holy institution of Marriage is at the cross roads and the Catholic church with like minded church can convince some of the governments of the world to save Institution of marriage being destroyed.
Let us pray that the up coming event of the world youth day brings in a new wave and new hope in the world. Let us pray for the success of the event. Long live the Pope. May St. Francis of Assisi our father and founder be with him always.
