MANDALUYONG: 16 March 2013 -- In a show of filial devotion, representatives from the various segments of the Educative-Pastoral Community of Don Bosco Mandaluyong (students, teachers, parents, alumni, lay mission partners and friends) trooped to the small chapel on March 15, 2013, at 10:30 am to attend the Eucharistic celebration offered for the intentions of the new Holy Father, Pope Francis.
The simple but solemn celebration of the Mass was presided over by the school's Rector, Fr. Martin Macasaet, SDB. In his homily, Fr. Marty said that the election of Cardinal Bergoglio to the Papacy shows indeed that “God’s ways are beyond man’s ways… and God’s thoughts are beyond ours.” He encouraged everyone to persevere in praying for the Pope, especially after the initial uproar of jubilation has faded. Finally he reminded everyone about Don Bosco’s devotion to the Pope, that is, to the dignity bestowed by God to this holy office, and not to any specific personality.
Pope Francis, your children from Don Bosco Mandaluyong love you dearly. VIVA IL PAPA!
