Fr Ron’s Open Letter Feast of Penafrancia
Penafrancia 2009
Isang pagpupugay sa Mahal na Ina ni Hesus at ng Kangyang Simbahan.
Isang mainit na pagbati sa mga namumuno at kasapi ng OLPD at sa lahat ng mananampalataya na nakikipyesta sa araw na ito dito sa Mexikoplatz.
I welcome you all to the Feast Day Celebration of Our Lady of Penafrancia with the theme “Sharing the Future in Hope”. Life could be hard but, thanks be to God, there is Hope! It encourages us to go on, into the future, encourage with whatever happens, Gos is with us. And together with the Mother of Jesus, Mary Most Holy as our Lady of Penafrancia, who would lead us to Jesus, we could walk hand in hand withour fear in this pilgrimage towards heaven.
The year’s celebration would be the 299th year of devotion to Ina, if we go back to where it began in Naga City in 1710. And today, with renewed strength and trust in God through the intercession of our Lady, we go forward full confidence of God’s love for all of us.
Here is wish and a prayer for a grace-filled celebration and a moment of conversion to Jesus through his Mother, Our Lady of Penafrancia. May the Good Lord bless us all…always!
