The apostolic visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines culminates with the feast of the Child Jesus, Señor Sto. Niño – with deep significance. “By getting to know Jesus as a Child, hopefully, we will also get to know ourselves better as children,” says Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle in the “Mercy and Compassion” Homily Guide launched by Papal Visit Committee on Information and Media chairman Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara.

Likewise, “the humble knows one’s incompleteness, one’s neediness”.
