A New Year

As I wish all the visitors of this blog a very special greeting of goodwill, peace and health, I also share today a selfie video message to all parishioners whom I served over the past 40 years of my priesthood. Later on this year in June, I will celebrate 40 years since my ordination, and I look forward to continue to minister wherever the Lord wants me to serve. 2016 is now history, a turbulent year for many, yet rewarding and hopeful for others. I pray and hope that the violence and terrorism that have dominated most of the past year will not be repeated in the New Year. And my hope is that people will continue to collaborate to create harmony and peace wherever they are, which starts from peace and calmness in one’s heart and in our family environment. Wishing everyone a peaceful, healthy and productive New Year.
