YOUR LETTERS

STRESS-FREE MAGAZINE

I really like the Santacruzan

Special, particularly the “Faith

Meets Fashion” story. I love

how the magazine covered the

different designers and highlighted

how they explored culture and

fashion. At first, when I saw

My Pope, I thought that it was

a fanatically religious magazine,

but lo and behold, it isn’t!

I hope you cover

more stories

like this. I really look

forward to reading

more stories that

spark my interest

and at the same

time keep me

stress-free!

—Abigail Del Rosario, Philippines

WE LOVE TO SEE PEOPLE
WHO HELP OTHERS

It is always a pleasure to buy an issue.
Aside from the information, trivia, and
special recipes, we get to see many people do good to those
in need. I hope to see more of these people so we can inspire
others, even in a small way, to give their time to those less
fortunate than us.
—A reader from Italy

The Highest Prayer

While appealing to the

Lord in private is a

beautiful thing, Pope

Francis counts Mass

as the most sublime

form of prayer.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PRAYER IS
THE MASS

Pope Francis speaks very often about prayer. I remember
that, not long ago, he had addressed the faithful with a
specific question: “What is prayer?” It seems like a simple
question that we should not have difficulty answering. The
Holy Father himself surprises us by saying, “Mass is prayer,
indeed, it is a prayer par excellence, the highest, the most
sublime, and at the same time the most concrete. In fact,
it is the encounter of love with God through His word and
the body and blood of Jesus.” The Pope spoke of dialogue,
of relationship with God, a relationship that we must keep
well in mind.
