Lyrics of We Are All God’ Children by Jaimie Rivera

 This is the lyrics of the official theme song of the visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines this 2015:

We Are All God’ Children

Have you walked the pavements where they sleep?

Do you feel their hands

When you give them alms?

Did you ever give them bread to eat?

Have you seen their homes washed by the floods?

While a mother tightly holds her child

Do you hear the wind

Of the raging storm?

Can you tell them where it's coming from?

Let us show our love and mercy

With true kindness and humility

For God loves the weak and the needy

Just like you and me

We are all God's children

We are all the same

He is calling us by name to help the poor and lame

And learn what life is really for

It's to know and love and serve the Lord

Stand together and let's do our part

Hear their voices mend their broken hearts

Choose to be brave fight for their rights

Give them back their honor and their pride

Please do not be blind and just leave them behind

To struggle in darkness or give them empty promises

We are all God's children

We are all the same

He is calling us by name to help the poor and lame

And learn what life is really for

It's to know and love and serve the Lord

It's to know and love and serve the Lord

It's to know and love and serve the Lord

Inspring Quotes from Pope Francis

The whole Philippines was blessed by the holy presence of Pope Francis during his five-day visit to the country. He left everyone inspired to be better Christians and with a resolve to be more compassionate to the plight of others. It will be good to ponder on some of his messages below:

We only see through eyes that our cleansed with our tears.

We often forget what truly matters.

Let us learn how to weep for others.

If you don’t learn how to cry, you can’t be good Christians.

We need holy young people.

The youth must learn how to think, to feel, to do.

Feel what you think and feel what you do.

Let us allow ourselves to be surprised by God.

Empty your pockets but come with very full hearts.

You help, but do you allow yourself to receive?

You lack only one thing, to become a beggar, to learn how to receive with humility, to learn how to be evangelized by the poor. They have so much to offer.

Teach yourself to receive with humility.

Learn how to love and learn how to be loved.

Only be becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.

Be living examples of love, forgiveness, and care

You may be poor yourselves in material ways, but you have an abundance of gifts to offer when you offer Christ and the community of his Church.

When you lose the capacity to dream, then you lose the capacity to love, and this energy to love is lost.

Be courageous, don’t be afraid to cry.

Reality is superior to ideas.
