Some 1,600 faithful  spent an hour online with the Archbishop  of Kuala Lumpur, Most Rev Julian Leow,  before the Blessed Sacrament, May 20.

Broadcasting from the Cardijn House  chapel, Archbishop Leow thanked everyone for joining him in prayer for an end to  COVID-19 that is plaguing the world today. “We remember the 31 days rosary marathon this month where the Holy Father  listed 31 intentions one for each day. Today, we pray with the Universal Church  for pharmacists, healthcare personnel and  frontliners who are doing their best in these  trying times.”

He prayed for world peace and peoples in  conflict or at war, especially in the Middle  East and Myanmar. 

Archbishop Leow also prayed for teachers, who have imparted knowledge, educated us and handed on the faith. “We pray that  more men and women will join the teaching  profession to build future leaders with integrity and fear of the Lord.”

As the solemnity of Pentecost is upon us,  he prayed for the descent of the Holy Spirit  to empower and enlighten us to be faithful  and faith-filled disciples with the gifts and  fruits of the Spirit.

Everyone was invited to continue praying, meditating or reciting the Rosary for  the above intentions and personal requests,  in the silence of their homes. The Holy Hour ended with a benediction and the divine praises.
