Habemus Papam



I woke up at around 4:30 AM this morning and I turned on my AM radio. And every news was about the new elected Pope of the Catholic world. I was grateful and I prayed a personal prayer upon hearing the news. I went to the TV and just saw his face. His very calm face just like Pope John Paul II only younger this time.

And at last after days of no leader of the Catholic institution we have Pope Francis. He has his twitter account and Facebook page in which I followed now.

And upon reading on Paulo Coelho's blog I got this one:


A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.
The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food.
The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him.
She did so without hesitation.
The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.
“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious.
“Teach me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone.”

Well it is indeed a good world though my Lakers is on the brink on elimination despite the greatness of Kobe and on the latest report, he will be out indefinitely due to injury. Til next season Lakers!
