Sacerdotal Golden Jubilee
Msgr. C. Joseph
22.12.1973-2023
Hearty
congratulations and
Prayerful
best wishes!
Memories
go back to 1973 at St. Andrews
Where
you came as a deacon...
You
stood out among your peers in the diocese
with
your self-confidence, self-esteem and what not,
in
your priestly attire, always.
Jesus'
call was to discipleship and
priesthood
was seemingly superimposed later...
He,
now is represented by the Church
which
operates more through priesthood, royal, of course...
She
has conveniently let down the Kingdom He preached
for
the one he rather denounced...
Mary,
his mother is our mother too, as was his last will...
She
is the first and best disciple of the Word became flesh
and
thereby our model and mediator...
We
are comfortable with mediation, rituals
than
following Him really...
Though
we differ in our perceptions and practice of faith,
i
do consider your enduring loyalty to the Church
which
conferred you with the Priesthood so impressive!
Jesus
was known for his authority and
that
was nothing other than His authenticity.
Though
the diocese didn't recognize you enough,
the
church at large honoured you with deserving responsibilities and titles...
You
could still contribute much and
the
diocese would hopefully facilitate for that,
though
late she is...
Stay
blessed while being a blessing to all.
