I felt an affinity with Pope Paul VI.
After him, I had not experience affinity with any of the other Popes.
I love the book, The Acting Person by Pope John Paul II.
He was all for freedom when he was a Cardinal at Poland.
But as a Pope, he was rather a conservative.
I did know much about Pope Benedict.
I liked Pope Francis very much.
He was like a breath of fresh air, and holy.
Genuine and Christlike.
Again, I did not experience that personal affinity.
With Pope Leo XIV, I saw his face and experienced an affinity with him.
I was actually moved to tears on finding out he was the new Pope.
A voice even told me, if I write to him, he will reply.
I dismissed that notion.
Who am I?
However, I found myself asking why Pope Paul the VI
and why this present Pope?
Is it because I sense they are spiritual persons?
But the other Popes were deeply spiritual.
It finally came to me, they are mystics.
I googled Pope Paul VI, he was a mystic.
I have no doubt Pope Leo XIV is a mystic too.
It is written on his face.
That look of inner withdrawal.
The look of someone who is occupied with someone,
More than what is around him.
The look of someone who pieces the mysteries of the Universe.
And the Universe within him, God, Infinity Creator, Infinity.
