This morning His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, DD arrived around 9:15am for the first ever two-day Parish Pastoral Visitation. After a brief opening liturgy, the Cardinal met with the Parish Pastoral Council at the Cardinal Sin Hall. He listened to the pastoral report of our Punong Lingkod Bro. Johnny Cosep, he praised our 8-year old parish for the many accomplishments ( he said he was happy that MMJP is "lumulusog" and that he appreciates what we have accomplished in a manner he described as "maliksi"), he also entertained questions from our lay leaders. What was thought at first to be a very formal dialogue became a light moment with the Cardinal.
After the dialogue we went to visit Zone 7 of our barangay. Thanks to our chief of police Major Gary Reyes and his staff who provided security and to the many parish volunteers who also made sure the Cardinal's walk was safe and secure. A short program followed his walk where he also shared his 3-point message to the people: first, know what is good and do it; second, know what is bad so you can avoid it and lastly, the golden rule, love God and love your neighbors.
