Hello April!
TOMEditor
Shalom semua!
Beberapa minggu lalu,
saya berkesempatan bertemu
dengan Father Tim Deeter yang
profilenya bisa kalian baca di edisi
ini. Interview singkat saya dengan
beliau sudah cukup membuat saya
terkagum dengan kecintaannya
akan gereja Katolik. Karena jujur
saja, sulit di jaman sekarang ini
untuk mengakui identitas kita
sebagai seorang Katolik.
Teman-teman sekalian,
jangan malu menjadi Katolik.
Jangan takut dicap “suci”. Tapi
berbanggalah menjadi bagian
dari Gereja yang penuh dengan
kekayaan rohani. Seperti Paus
Yohanes Paulus II pernah berpesan
“Don’t be afraid to be saints. Follow
Jesus Christ who is the source of
freedom and light. Be open to the
Lord so that He may lighten all your
ways.”
Tuhan Memberkati.
Angel Sentosa
