Wow na Wow!! Father Roel, you are so handsome! I heard your singing that was posted in facebook, Father! I heard it after I attended my white coat ceremony, and I was brought to tears jyud, Father!
You know Father, I take this as a message from GOD THE FATHER that he sent to me my way. And it brought tears of overbounding joy to my eyes.
You see, Father, for a while, I was in turmoil with myself because I knew that I had been called to be a priest. I have struggled with this calling since I was in my 1st year of college. Father it was so strong that I attended many catholic retreats to discern the calling~ my good friend Fr. Mark Hoffman has been there for me to listen to my concerns and my thoughts and my words. God Bless him. And God Bless all of you priests that have answered HIS CALLING...HIS DIVINE CALLING...because, Father, the role of priest SURPASSES all professions.
You see, I may have chosen a lesser calling...that of a physician. While the physician doctors the body and heals the body of man, it is the PRIEST of GOD that doctors the soul through the ministry of HIS DIVINE WORD. Through the ministry and adminstration of the HOLY EUCHARIST, the LIVING PRESENCE, THE HOLY PRESENCE....
I pray and sing to the Lord,...that his callings are answered by more beautiful, handsome, well-versed, humble, jovial, good and kind-hearted men such as yourself. May we have more sheppards like you! More and More!
I pray Father that you are granted continued good health, a beautiful life, stable mind, and continued compassionate soul for those who listen to you as you minister the WORD OF GOD. Which brings life and overbounding graces to thsoe who listen to HIS DIVINE WORD.
Pops, please also pray for me. Pray for me and my batch.
Happy Christmas Season Father!
Perhaps I can visit you someday...BY HIS GRACE.....
Know that you are loved, and cared for by many, many people that you have touched through your ministry, through your wonderful songs, your happy and fatherly-like voice, and genuine kindness.....~
GOD BLESS YOU, FATHER ROEL!
GOD BLESS YOU FROM THE CROWN OF YOUR HEAD TO THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET.
MAY YOU BE BLESSED ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.
AND MY CHRIST'S LOVE CONTINUE TO BURN IN YOUR HEART AND MIND.
FOR HIS WORD IS...SALVATION...ON HIGH...
AMEN.
Your spiritual son,
Albrando Lucino
