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
