Jesus, the Redeemer - Saint Julian, the Redeemed |
Today is the exact 125th
anniversary of the foundation of the parish of St Julian, my hometown, and for
this occasion I dedicate a photo I took last Sunday in church, just as the
statue of our Saint was being carried out of the church. I caught the exact
moment when the Resurrected image of Jesus and the statue of the Saint were
close to each other, and that has been the story of the parish. St Julian is
still popular because the parish kept growing inspired by the Lord, who has
been the guiding force behind everything that is done on a parish level. The
parish had various parish priests, and many more priests serving over the past
125 years, but there were also many volunteers and dedicated parishioners who
have donated money, muscle and a piece of their mind in giving the parish the
boost it needed over the war years, the rebuilding years, the new church phase,
and the recent expansion of buildings and foreigners as well as new
parishioners moving in. Jesus has redeemed us, and Saint Julian was redeemed
after his mistake. But most importantly, the Redeemer and the Redeemed have both
been our guiding force, and I hope and pray they will continue to inspire the continual
spiritual growth of the parish into the future.
A God moment taken through the lens of a camera and the heart of a photographer. Exceptional photo illustrating your message today.... Simply beautiful!
