November 16 came, the
Papal Nuncio, Most Reverend Edward Joseph Adams,D.D., Titular Archbishop of Scala arrived in
Malaybalay City, the
birthplace of Malaybalayan. The Nuncio's presence is somehow in spirit the visit of the
Holy Pope, Benedict XVI.
At a time when people have become
"secularized", a visit such as this, is timely and most welcome. Malaybalayan is reminded of how she felt when in
Quezon Memorial Circle way back in the '70s, she came face to face with a Pope, she felt so honored yet so unworthy. On that day, all those who attended the momentous event, received the
Apostolic Blessing.
November 18 came, the Nuncio left Bukidnon but the message he left behind especially the one that came from the Pope, His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI is forever etched in the hearts of the
Malaybalayans and
Bukidnons.
Vival il Papa!!!
