Happy Birthday to Raniero Cantalamessa

The Papal preacher celebrates his 79th birthday today. A well known charistmatic preacher stays with us in the Curia, a simple friar and man of few words. He goes around for preaching retreats and seminars. At the moment he is in Sweden preaching retreat to priests and laity. It is a treat listening to Friar Raniero's sermons and talks. He speaks to our heart and person than our mind. We wish and pray for a long life. May the good Lord grant him all the blessings to be His instrument of peace and good will all over the world.

We have in curia the members of the Mission commission which has gathered for their annual meeting. They arrived all yesterday and began their meeting this morning with the new and old Mission Secretaries both being present. Br. Hugo replaces Br. Helmut who after many successful years of mission animation goes to Vatican to work. Wish him all the best and May the good Lord bless and shower all the good blessings upon him.

Br. Ravi Rosario from the Province of Tamil Nadu South arrived this evening. He is appointed as the Economo of Jerusalem House. He will study Italian for two months and then proceed to Jerusalem to assume the responsibility. We wish n pray that he learns good Italian and also some classes in accounting from Br. Luis Eduardo, the General Economo.
