    Pope Ends Philippines Visit with Massive Mass

    January 19, 2015

    Manila: For the second time in his state and pastoral visit to Philippines, Francis Pope offered a massive mass under the inclemency of the weather, followed by millions of parishioners in the capital of Manila.

    Like on the eve in Tacloban, in the region most affected by Haiyan Typhoon, in November 2013, the attendees challenged wind and rains, forcing the Holy Pontiff to cut short his stay before the threat of making conditions worst, Prensa Latina News Agency reported.

     

    Part of his last religious service of the visit, in Rizal Park, Manila, was dedicated it to the victims of the natural disaster, which killed more than 7,000 people and left populations homeless.

     

    A large crowd, who endured intermittent rains, was concentrated in the area and in the streets of Pope route, to greet, subjected to strict security devices, but leaving open paths with barriers so as to make the open vehicle carrying him transit among devotees.

     

    Before the Mass, he held a meeting with youngsters from St. Thomas University, in which he put aside the speech he was carrying when a street girl of twelve years old asked him tearfully 'why God allows these things'.

     

    She and other child minors victims of dropouts, attending the meeting were saved by the Tulav Kabataan non-governmental association, which manages the House where the Pope received a warmest welcome and he visited Thursday by surprise.

     

    Jorge Mario Berglorio, in improvised words, said the only question made by the girls has no response and urged the audience wonder if they learned to cry when they see a child with hungry, abused, drugged, used as slave by society.
