Officiating the Year of Faith - the Sunset Mass

The light of Faith sprung up and shone bright in the dark of the night! The parish,..the community is ready to walk the paths of an evangelising church which not only spell getting to know the person of the Lord Jesus Christ a lot better, deepening and preservation of belief and faith but what He personifies - LOVE -acts of love and charity...care for fellow human beings. This is a year calling  for Action to speak louder than words!!
                   We are now officially into the Year of Faith!!

Unveiling the Faith Year symbol at parish level...journeying into the year of Faith

The simple powerful video message from  HG Arch Bishop Murphy Pakiam  officiating the Year of Faith  was very much -in one heart with the call of the Pope to begin a new journey ,  a new evangelising and caring  church..one empowered and motivated by deeds and acts of love and care. Everyone is part of  God's mighty  evangelising army. Everyone has  a part to play. From young to old, we have all been called from inert, passive and dormant state to vitality.....living the action of love, doing deeds of love .... care of neighbour  ...comforting people who reach out in need.....spreading and reinforcing our faith- the Christian Faith  through  distinct acts of love & charity. Action starts from  within..deepening ..re-fortification and bolstering of  faith from self, the  base-the church,  and then reaching out to include others..the world, into its warmth. And he so beautifully acknowledged that he could not possibly have done it without the efforts of God's people in his Diocese...  

Rather Catchy video too....  Churchie but certainly not  of the dry and boring kind....an open invitation...for people to open their hearts....join in the action walk and leave a visible footprint in the year of faith which will connect and blossom fruitfully  into the future ... interesting, yeah, quite interesting indeed!! Did you hear the voice of that little boy in the video? Do not let the light of the candle flicker out....else...you would be leaving the little ones...the future of the world in total darkness!!!
