History Channel featured Pope Francis, the pope from the end of the world. It briefly mentioned St. Malacchi's prophecy of popes and the prophecy of the black king. But the feature wasn't really of any mystery, it just showcased the expectations and delight of Pope Francis' admirers and those who continually wished for a new church that will suit them.
More interesting is Missouri's mystery priest that appeared and disappered in an automobile accident, and the search for him.
Yes, there are lots of times in our lives when persons would be a part of our life for just a moment. We would never know their names or thank them enough. They would never even know the worth of what they have done. I can recall a few in my life like the local airport worker who picked a rose and simply gave it to me. Or that Maryknoller who gave me bus fare money when I realized too late that I was not able to bring one with me. Then, there was that seminarian who congratulated me when I passed the Architectural Licensure Exam, for him to take interest and look for my name in the list. People do come and go, and we will never know what would become of them.
But the greatest mystery of all is the Holy Eucharist. God had chosen to become Incarnate and then, institute the Sacrament that He may forever be present and Incarnate for all of us. Not just a symbol, but a Real Presence- an everyday miracle so many take for granted.
