"When we consider the life of those who have faithfully followed Christ, we are inspired with a new reason to seek the City that is to come and we are most safely taught the path by which, amid the changing things of this world and in keeping with the state in life and condition proper to each of us, we can arrive at that perfect union with Christ, which is holiness. Surrounded as we are by such an array of witnesses, through whom God is present to us and speaks to us, we are powerfully drawn to reach His Kingdom in heaven."
Blessed John Paul II, Apostolic Constitution Divinus Perfectionis Magister, 25 January 1983
"We are not here to guard a museum, but to cultivate a flourishing garden of life."
Blessed John XXIII
This coming Sunday, Pope Francis will canonize two Popes, Blesseds John XXIII and John Paul II.
I thank God with the Universal Church for the gift of these two Saints.
And I thank God that these two Saints have given me the privilege of taking care of their relics.
Pardon me if I do not have the picture of the relic of Blessed John XXIII...
But I will have them venerated at several places in Davao on their Canonization this Sunday.
Blesseds John XXIII and John Paul II, pray for us!
