			Từ lâu, người Công giáo Philippines – và cả nhiều tín hữu Á châu – vẫn thầm mơ một ngày sẽ có vị Giáo hoàng mang gương mặt châu Á, đến từ chính vùng đất của mình. Lá cờ quê hương tung bay trên quảng trường Thánh Phêrô, giấc mơ ấy không chỉ là niềm tự hào dân tộc, mà còn là một dấu chỉ hy vọng cho toàn thể Giáo hội tại lục địa này.

Tác giả <strong>Arvin N. Paglinawan</strong> – một người Công giáo Philippines – đã viết nên bài thơ sâu lắng dưới đây như một lời tự vấn và thức tỉnh: Có lẽ thay vì hỏi “Tại sao chưa?”, chúng ta cần nhìn lại chính mình và hỏi “Liệu chúng ta đã thật sự sống điều mình tin?”​</span></span></span><br />
