Thirty-Fifth Ordination Anniversary

I am neither a smart student nor a natural-born leader. Thus, I have never dreamed of becoming a priest. However, God has chosen me to be one, because it is God who is actually the one doing all the work.

For those who know me, you have to agree that I am especially blessed by Hail Mary over the past six years. She allows me to lay the foundation in the Work of Mary, to receive from Medjugorje the ability to heal through the Holy Spirit, to receive the message from Jesus (Holy Hour) through Lillian Barnes.

You may also know that I have learnt to make bread, because Hail Mary asks us to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays, and to fast with water and bread only.

My pastoral work is based on co-operation. Therefore, despite the huge amount of work, I am still able to handle them relatively easily. Besides, God has arranged my every brothers and sisters to act as guardian angels around me, to sanctify me.

Fr. Joseph Ly, who was coincidentally born in Vietnam 35 years ago, will be coming to our parish to continue the work of Fr. Ding. Fr. Ly joined the Congregation of St. John the Baptist in Vietnam in 1995, and was ordained in Taiwan in 2003. After serving in Taiwan for two years, he was sent to work in Vancouver. Fr. Ding will then take over Fr. Ly’s work in Vancouver.

P.S.: I sincerely invite everyone to participate in the 8:00pm mass on Monday, August 13, to celebrate with me, and to thank the Lord together for my thirty-fifth ordination anniversary.
