On watching Facebook live about Pope’s arrival at Military Airport Terminal 2 in Thailand, observation and opinion come out and are shared.
A lot of people of Thailand, Catholics and non-Catholics, at airport joyfully welcome Pope Francis on his arrival. It is an interesting and a wonderful scene for those who are watching Facebook live. That scene really inspires those who are watching Facebook live from their respective places.
An old but active Pope with smiling face slowly comes down from the stairs of the plane. No tiredness but happiness is seen in his face in spite of old age.
At the foot of the stairs of the plane an old sister, probably his cousin one, who is a missionary in Thailand, firstly kisses his hand and welcomes him. Then, after her, Bishops, ladies and gentlemen are, one after another, shaking his hands and welcoming him with smile, love and respect.
After greeting all bishops, ladies and gentlemen, Pope is about to enter in the car at airport to go to the designated place.
But, when hearing and seeing so many people waiting for and greeting him with loud voice from far away, Pope does not enter in the car, turns to the audience, goes and greets them with smiling face and waving hands.
That scene is telling us that Pope Francis is really a good shepherd to all people, particularly people of good will. He never neglects but always pays attention to people both the poor and the rich.
