Current Head of the Vatican State, and leader of the over 1.3 billion World Catholic Communion, Pope Francis, the 266th first Jesuit Bishop of Rome, has been commended as the world most outstanding living exemplar of sacrificial humility, inexhaustible love and extraordinary meekness.
Making this commendation is Sen. Annie Okonkwo, a knight of Saint John International, who spoke from the sanctuary of the Vatican after a privileged audience with the Pope together with his daughter, Dr (Miss) Nkem Okonkwo on August 1st, 2017. The Pope who prayed and blessed them specially also urged them to remain flaming lights of service as global ambassadors of peace to humanity and Nigeria in particular.
Reflecting on this solemn encounter, Sen. Okonkwo was inspirationally emphatic, that you cannot experience Pope Francis personally and remain the same. “Of course, I caught my miracle of spiritual rebirth swiftly and gladly, with a revived charter of love to all and ill to none, firmly implanted”.
It is now remarkably clear to me, why the centerpiece of Pope Francis liturgy is on peace, love and mercy. This is because his total substance in its entirety is locked down to his peculiar aromatic charisma, which resonates in a dedicated life of giving, caring and healing to all humanity especially the poor, the weak and the vulnerable.
‘Yes, I know the truth is obvious, but I echo it loudly the more from the exhilaration of my heart and the command of my conscience, that our Holiness greatest sword of revival and evangelism remain his plain simplicity and naked meekness”.
Capturing her own feelings like her dad, an equally elated Dr Nkem Okonkwo, a Canadian Ivy league physician, clinically enthused, that
“The pure bliss of this hilarious experience is spiritually unforgettable and I owe the Pope and my father a lifetime gratitude for this rare kindness’.
Expectedly as the statesman he is, Sen. Okonkwo used the occasion and tasked all Nigerians to rise to the challenging threats to our peace and unity, through prayers and sacrifice because Nigeria’s dream transformation to a great nation remain bright, but still work in progress, while praying for the speedy return of our President Mohammad Buhari in complete good health. The Senator has since moved to other continents so ably weaponized with this brand new papal immersion and celestial serenade.
