Dear Herald Editor/ newly ordained C.Mosinoh, C.Francis, G.Terence and S.Pitah and East Malaysian Catholic Church. Thank you once again for this wonderful article. To the newly ordained Franciscans from Sabah each of your God experience narrative is truly inspiring and beautiful! I believe this calling is down to the strong faith practiced at home. It was nurtured by your family mothers (60%), fathers 25% and grandparents 15%). Bonus support was contributed by church/ priests, lay leaders and devout Catholic friends. Agree? Besides, I am certain all four of you come from very humble background and hardly "affluent". Hence, you newly ordained priests have corrected a misconception highlighted by the Archbishop W. Goh in his recent interview on being made a cardinal. His Grace W. Goh attributed that Singapore being a rich nation has an insignificant number of its youngsters joining the religious vocation. He explained when interviewed, that those from their 30s onwards only want to know their purpose in life given they come from affluent families. Unlike in other Asian countries (believe he was referring to the Philippines, and perhaps Malaysia), there are many who join the religious life to "escape poverty". Hmm... But are their parents traditional Catholics? That is a pertinent question. On the other hand, here we have four individuals who have been successful in their respective careers and yet have answered the call. Interesting scenarios! I would like to make a humble suggestion to the Churches in Sabah (Kadazans) and Sarawak (Ibans, other natives) to encourage their youths especially those in their mid 20s onwards to attend at least a one-week retreat at either Divine Retreat Centre Kerala, India headed by Fr Augustine (their retreat starts on Saturdays and ends on Fridays) or Logos Retreat Centre, Bangalore, India led by Fr Jose (Mon- Fri) to have their faith strengthened and deeply enlightened by the word of God to know their purpose in life. You will see a complete change in all the parishes there. Please start a revolving fund for those who could contribute towards a highly noble cause, as not all of them can afford the air fare, accommodation and small offering (during Mass for their church as it is part of our Catholic obligation). Do get the West Malaysians also to support if need be. Send them in batches of a minimum 10 pax. My estimation each may need about (RM3,500). They do allow some to stay on as volunteers, not sure how the payment works) but they get to help with eucharist celebration. I see a native from East Malaysia who does the reading at the early morning online Mass at Divine Retreat Centre Kerala. This youth does an excellent job. Thanks to Fr Augustine, a true visionary! Once you do that, you will notice a vibrant church. Besides, these East Malaysian states, too, will see a complete transformation. Remember the capital of a nation is its people (those who studied abroad will affirm this)! There will be mandatory counselling sessions by the religious and others during the retreat, so they can air their grievances, fears etc. Because these youths are traditional Christians, India will easily give them a tourist visa. Should you embark on this, make sure the ones who experienced God (visions, messages, healings, answered prayers) must testify. They should continue this mission with other young working adults who are also experiencing all sorts of life challenges, including their faith. Looking forward to seeing them during online mass and reading their testimonies. God Bless.
