25 years ago, a young couple were married at the Church of the Holy Family Kajang, and I was the Commentator (MC) of the wedding Mass.

On Saturday Jan 17, I was at the Chapel of our Lady of Mount Carmel in Cameron Highlands to commentate on the 25th Silver Anniversary Thanksgiving Mass of the same couple.

Paul and Cindy celebrated their Silver Jubilee Mass conducted by Rev. Fr. Eugen Benedict, attended by many friends and relatives and their two children, Carmen and Richard.

Paul met Cindy while studying in University Kebangsaan Bangi (UKM). After graduation, he worked for a few years in Kuala Lumpur, and got married in Kajang.

They are blessed with 2 children, Carmen and Richard.

Jin Guang is staying in Kuala Kuang New Village near Chemor. According to my birth certificate, I was born in Chemor ... But I have no more relatives here because my childhood was spent in Negri Sembilan.

25年前,一对青年男女,在加影圣家教堂举行了婚配弥撒,我是带经员(弥撒司仪)。

前天,一月十七日星期六,这对夫妇在金马崙高原的『加尔默罗圣母』教堂举行了25周年银庆感恩弥撒,我受邀成为带经员。

吴思明,来自金马崙高原,在国民大学(UKM)读书时,认识了家在加影的邱青谛。毕业后,思明留在吉隆坡工作,数年后,决定在加影双双共结连理。

天主祝福他们一对儿女。

大约十五年前,思明回到家乡金马崙高原,开始了自己的农耕生意。他现在主要是种植出口到日本的菊花。

二十五年后还能够相聚在银庆,真是难得,我要感谢上主给我们的恩赐及宠爱。

许多亲戚、朋友对到来参加了这个喜庆。弥撒主礼为该堂的主任尤津 . 本笃神父。

弥撒后,大家共享自助晚餐,场面温馨喜乐。

当天,思明的令堂张金兰女士也欢庆75岁生日。

隔天是星期天,我来到了怡保,探访家住珠宝瓜拉光新村的吴景光及怡保朱兴文兄弟。

根据我的报生纸,我是出生在珠宝镇,但现在都没有任何亲戚朋友了。我的童年是在森美兰州度过的。

今天早上,与兴文夫妇共用了早餐后,我们就取道回家,结束了这短暂喜乐的旅程。

老神父的双喜庆 Double celebrations of priests



感动、冲动,我马上的行动。

在脸书上,看到了马六甲圣德肋撒堂为洪澄江、俞怀仁两位老神父神父在一月十一日(星期天),庆祝生日及晋铎周年的讯息,心里一阵感动。多年来,两位神父退休后,受到当地平信徒的关爱及照顾,常为他们庆祝生日及周年,让他们常常生活在喜乐、被爱的环境中。

这次的庆典,是圣德肋撒堂为洪神父的90岁及晋铎60周年、俞神父88岁及晋铎58周年而设。庆典包括一台感恩弥撒及大庆喜宴。

我与洪神父比较认识,也多次见面,特别是他有新书出版的时候,都会给我一个电话通知,邀请我协助推广及促销。俞神父则只见面谈过两、三次,都是在后期担任东甲本堂神父的时期。

不过,他们俩对当地教会毕生的贡献及成果,爱主及爱人的精神,让我非常的敬佩及尊敬。所以得知了这次的难得双庆,马上联络了当地的朋友培鸣兄弟,查看是否还能够索得喜宴的票卷。

离开庆典只有四天的时间,仍然能够得到一张票卷,真的要感谢上主的恩赐!

星期天下午,从加影驾车到了马六甲安东尼的家,受到他与太太的欢迎。这是我住宿的地方。

感恩弥撒于傍晚五时半,假圣德肋撒堂举行。甲柔教区陈志音主教、荣休曾主教、多位教区、主徒会会士、修士修女及数百位教友参加了这台圣祭。

该堂主任黄来发神父,也是这次庆典的东道主,在证道时,除了赞扬这两位神父对教会的贡献及所立的好榜样,也呼吁大家多为圣召祈祷。

晚宴在甲市的中华楼宴会厅举行,共有160席,场面温馨热闹。在场的除了来自甲柔教区各堂区的教友外,还有江神父与俞神父俩来自中国的亲戚。

祝愿两位老神父,主恩满溢、平安喜乐,在神父同僚及教友的爱护及共融中,在主内继续安享他们美丽的夕阳岁月。

阿门。
