This Christmas, it might be easy to feel morose and gloomy.
After all, the pandemic has taken a toll on the world and the economy has slumped. Many people are unemployed and suffering. Federal debt and exposure to liability has reached a mind-boggling RM1.3 trillion.
Politically, the situation is fluid, in a state of flux – not a situation that inspires confidence.
While many are suffering, wealth in the world is concentrated more and more in the hands of a small elite group. And that concentration of wealth is increasing by the year.
Within the Malaysian Church, many are still mourning the demise of Cardinal Soter Fernandez.
KUALA LUMPUR: Archbishop Julian Leow and Fr Edwin Peter joined children from six parishes of the Archdiocese, namely the churches of Divine Mercy, Sacred Heart, Holy Redeemer, Our Lady of Lourdes, Assumption and Our Lady of Fatima, who came to together to participate in this rosary recitation for our Cardinal Soter Fernandez’s 40th day memorial.
Thanks to the catechists from the six parishes who came together to get this virtual recitation done. The catechists had to seek approval from the parents and then organise them together for virtual practices from their respective homes, under the CMCO limitations. The children rose to the occa sion to pray virtually for the Cardinal even though some of them did not know him personally.
