Happy Birthday to Br. Albert D'Souza - Vice-Procura

Br. albert D'Souza celebrates his 45th Birthday...he still looks young.....he is our vice-procura in the curia.....always ready to give his opinion on any canonical and constitutional problems and cases...he has doctorate in Cannon Law which he completed last year with distinction.....
 This morning he celebrated the Eucharist.....he introduced the theme of the Readings of todays celebration and invited all to pray the psalms......
 Br. Ivan....doing the reading.....
 Jesus promises his disciples that they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. The angels will gather his elect from the four winds. His coming in glory will be preceded by tribulation. The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in heaven will be shaken. These will be signs just as fig leaves sprouting are a sign that summer is near. Jesus adds that their generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Though heaven and earth will pass away, his words will not pass away. Then Jesus says: "But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Life Implications Jesus speaks of the ultimate triumph of his future coming with great power and glory immediately before what appears to be his ultimate defeat without any power and glory—dying like a criminal on a cross. This would seem to be a foolhardy promise to his disciples on Jesus' part unless we understand the source of his unconquerable hope. Does a man on his way to the electric chair make promises about what he will do in the future? 
 May the good Lord bless and grant you good and long life.....may his 45 be doubled into 90 ......too long.?????
