10 REMARKABLE LINES OF POPE FRANCIS @ UST

The comprehensive message of HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS at the UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS is perfect as point of reflection as we move forward in our JOURNEY in LIFE. 

The following lines are my top choices (not in order of priority):

1. "to THINK WELL, to FEEL WELL, and to DO WELL...to THINK, to FEEL, to DO. And all in HARMONY."


2. Why do children suffer so much? Why do children suffer?


3. Have I learned how to weep? Have I learned how to weep for a street child who has a drug problem or for an abused child? Unfortunately, there are those who cry because they want something else.


4. What is the most important subject you have to learn at university? What is the most important subject you have to learn in life? TO LEARN HOW TO LOVE.


5. Real love is about loving and letting yourself be loved.


6. You know how to give and yet you have ever learned how to receive.


7. There is the challenge, the concern for the environment.


8. I want you to offer yourselves passionately and honestly to the great work of renewing your society and helping to build a better world.


9. Do you think of the poor? Do you feel with the poor? Do you do something for the poor? Do you ask the poor to give you the wisdom they have?


10. Reality is superior to ideas. That reality that you have is superior to the paper I have in front of me.
