Pope Francis who is currently in the Philippines was moved to hug these two children after one of them, 12 year old Glyzelle Palomar, a rehabilitated homeless girl, asked him in tears why God could allow children to become prostitutes.
"Many children get involved in drugs and prostitution. Why does God allow these things to happen to us? The children are not guilty of anything.” Palomar said during her speech at a Catholic mass
Pope Francis who couldn't find an immediate answer for her question, got up and gave a hug. He later replied her and the congregation saying
“She is the only one who has put forward a question for which there is no answer and she was not even able to express it in words but rather in tears. I invite each one of you to ask yourselves, 'Have I learned how to weep, how to cry when I see a hungry child, a child on the street who uses drugs, a homeless child, an abandoned child, an abused child, a child that society uses as a slave?” He said
Awwww
ReplyDeleteSo touching
Delete'Have I learned how to weep, how to cry when I see a hungry child, a child on the street who uses drugs, a homeless child, an abandoned child, an abused child, a child that society uses as a slave?”
DeleteThis includes having househelps that are younger than even our kids or siblings yet we slap them back and forth.please lets fear GOD
I may have learnt how to help those around me, buh I have not learnt how to help the ones on the street, because most times I get scared to help them cuz of what is happening today, you can't trut anyone again...all the same we need ur GRACE oh !! LORD..
DeleteSigh, don't know what to say.
DeleteVicky i think ur very beautiful can i have ur number
DeleteAwwwwwwww started crying before I could finish reading it, life is not fair my dear.

A Lot of questions to be asked yet even when asked the reply ain't the answer. So touching for real #onelovefromsnow#
DeletePersonally I wil say, d pope was wrong to say there is no answer to her question...
DeleteD answer is simple...
Children go into it for two major reason's... Their personal choice due to circumstance beyondtheir control and b force into it.
I stand to b corrected.
This girl must have suffered.. *sigh*
DeleteThis is sooo touching... May God bless the pope
DeleteThe Pope really has wisdom for not providing a ridiculous answer to that question like many would try to defend God and their non available knowledge by presenting a foolish answer..has asked God a similar question as often as I could..
DeleteHei yah, the girl asked with an open mind oo
DeleteThis royal priesthood nigga needs help o...u should see a doc soonest...
DeleteProof that religion is a scam.
DeleteShe must have gone through a lot. The holy father for me is a replica of St. John Paul II. May God keep him, grant him long life n keep him safe from d hands of d for. God bless our Pope the great, the good.

ReplyDeleteMayb she sees someone close to her depicting such things,datz y any negative tins u doing, stop doing it in d eyes of young ones,cus u might tink dey don't knw anything but dey do.kidz easily record negative act on their head Dan positive.
ReplyDeleteSir. I think u don't understand the article. The child is asking why certain things happen to children. E.g why should a child hv cancer. The child hurt nobody? It's just a child. U get. The article isn't about doing things bla bla. The child is talking about a child forced into prostitution. Not a child who watched someone have sex and is going to re enact it. Thanks
DeleteHmmm. Touching. God doesn't allow bad things happen 2 us. It's sin that makes us vulnerable 2 bad n evil occurrences.
ReplyDeleteJesus is Lord.
A question that really has no answer
ReplyDeleteThe world can never be a good place when there are thousands of homeless children roaming the streets, others being mistreated n uncared for.
Help as many as u can no matter how little it is
eyaa! thats papa himself...
ReplyDelete#GodblessNigeria
Hmmnnn,very gud,wise and honest answer.
ReplyDeleteQuite emotional I must confess...
ReplyDeleteI bless God for d lovely tender hearts those children posses.
Actually, it free choice and their own violition they mak choice to do or not to do.
God doesn't mak choice for us. He respect our choice. It a free will. When it concern God.

ReplyDeleteAwwh!!!
ReplyDeletePope, you may not have the answer to the question because not all things are revealed to you, and not all knowledge are at your fingertips.
ReplyDeleteBut God surely does have an answer to all questions.
Little girl, be happy that you are saved from those vices,
Be happy that you are not living like them,
But in everyday you live, try to touch a life and do your best to bring change to someone's life.
But really, this one has got the gods thinking.
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha

Seriously?? there definitely is an answer to this question.just say you don't know. NO HARD FEELINGS THO
ReplyDeleteIdiot..u kno why and how God decides all things????? Oya answer the question..
DeleteMay God forgive your illiteracy. Must you comment. These is nothing wrong with the question. I think the better question I have for you is "WHY DOES GOD ALLOW ME TO BE AN IDIOT?" Answer that one for starters @anonymous January 18, 2015 at 2:13pm
DeleteThe problem of evil is one of the major reasons people have denied or doubted the existence of God..Hence, some school of thought argued that we are free beings, people are free to choose between doing good and evil (prostitution) but the determinists would argue against such that being a prostitute or going into prostitution has already been determined by God even before we were created. The deists would say God exist but He does not control or direct the affairs of the universe that is why there a so many evil happenings in the universe. The free-willist i suppose have an answer to the little girl question.
ReplyDeleteI feel for those girls of her calibre. Its really touching. Brilliant ansa from d pope.
ReplyDeleteaww
ReplyDeletedeborachidume.blogspot.com
We all need to show concerns and put those on the streets be it prostitution, drugs, etc in our daily prayers.

ReplyDeletePope Francis drew a record six million people as he celebrated mass in the rain-swept Philippine capital Sunday, a triumphant finale to an Asian tour in which he championed the plight of the poor.
ReplyDeletethere is answer to the question,the Bible provides an answer. for more information the pope and other interested ones should visit www.jw.org
ReplyDeleteLet churchs be home for the homeless.. I mean, care for them like it is done in SCOAN by TB Joshua... Lets help to eradicate this... If goverment don't want to help Churchs should help..Thank U...

This encounter is humbling and piercing to the heart! From now on, I shall give my tithes directly to the homeless, beggars, the sickly poor and the challenged, .......etc. There will be joy in heaven and rain of graces for me in this cause than fattening fake pastors!

Why are there natural disasters? So many questions...but no matter what, God will always be God and I guess that's all that matters.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous that is so true,try visiting jw.org to find answers to ALL lifes big questions. Its all comes from the bible,no other source. Its a pity pope no know answer,and its not surprising either. The fact that pope no know answer does not mean there is no satisfying answer in the bible.

ReplyDeleteThe issue of child/forced prostitution breaks my heart. Unfortunately, it's a huge mafia with syndicates all over the world. How can we make this abhorrent practice stop?? Why has the various nations governments refused to look into this? These women and children are suffering and dying silently and the world is just engrossed in a gyrating circus...like nothing happened...like nothing is happening. God save us all...
ReplyDeleteMy dear......The answer to ur question is unknown to any one.......
ReplyDeleteSo you consider yourself a blog id owner! You are only here for Linda's give away and end of year bonanza. Where were you before now? Your English is so bad and instead of doing something about it, your ranting like you have mad cow disease! Silly a***
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm
ReplyDelete@Royal priesthood . Please read well b4 you say the pope was wrong. The girl did not ask why girls go into prostitution, she asked why God allows them go into prostitution. If you want to answer on God's behalf, you can do so and you might just be chosen as the next pope.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the Bible teach?
ReplyDeleteThe Bible plainly states that God is not to blame for human suffering. “Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test.” (James 1:13, The Bible in Basic English) In fact, the idea that God is to blame for suffering is out of harmony with the way that the Bible describes God’s personality. How so?

So pope thought that there is no answer to this question?This means that he does not have time to read Bible!In Revelation 12;9,12 the Bible made it clear that Satan has been hurled down to the earth, so when satan is close to humans what do you expect?It says woe unto man,this is small part of reasons why there are teenage prostitutes and all kinds of badness on earth today!also consider James 1;13.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww, How sweet and innocent. The guileless heart of a child is priceless, sadly innocence isn't something we carry on into adulthood.
ReplyDelete. Why has God allowed suffering
ReplyDeleteuntil now?
For a limited time, Jehovah has allowed rebellion
against his sovereignty. Why? To show that no effort to
rule without him benefits people. ( Ecclesiastes 7:29;
8:9 ) After 6,000 years of human history, the evidence is
clear. Human rulers have failed to eliminate war, crime,
injustice, or disease.— Read Jeremiah 10:23; Romans
9:17 .
In contrast to human rulership, God’s rule benefits
those who accept it. ( Isaiah 48:17, 18 ) Soon, Jehovah
will bring all human government to an end. Only people
who choose to be ruled by God will inhabit the earth.—
Isaiah 11:9 ; Read Daniel 2:44 . also visit WWW.Jw.org for the answer to that little girl question.
@ Royal priesthood,b crful n mindful of wat u say. Nt every question has an ansa,its only our politicians dt will have an ansa 2 dis kind of Question.God bless u my Pope n God give us d grace 2 help.
ReplyDeleteNA WA FOR THIS POPE O.THE LITTLE GIRL IS WRONG TO HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS GOD THAT ALLOWED SUCH THINGS.GOD DOESNT ALLOW EVIL.HUMAN DOES.THATS THE SIMPLE ANSWER THIS SO CALLED POPE COULD HAVE GIVEN.OBVIOUSLY,SOMETHING IS MISSING IN THAT LITTLE GIRLS LIFE AND THATS GOD AND THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE OF HIM.IF SHE GROWS WITH THAT MINDSET OF GOD ALLOWING EVIL,SHE IS LIKELY TO END UP AN ANTICHRIST....AKA....SPREAD THE GOSPEL
ReplyDeleteMost interesting Pope ever! that's a thought provoking question coming from a very deep place.
ReplyDeleteCurious girl poked the pope right in the face. Clueless but curious & yet to know the answer, poor girl!
ReplyDeletetoo emotional....
ReplyDeleteI see a lot shallow ignoramuses on this blog. I dont blame you though, you think reading the bible makes you an authority on all things God.... But then you need to the attain the height of knowledge and spirituality that the Pope has attained to grasp the depth of that question and the profound humility and wisdom of his answer.
ReplyDeleteI love you Pope Francis. You are a true reflection of Christ, You exude Love not judgement and condemnation, God bless you, and continue to bless the Church with great leaders.
so touching!
ReplyDeleteAll of you quoting all manners of pages from the bible i hope you realise that this is a little girl that wants an honest answer to her level of understanding
