“The World Social Communications Day - To proclaim the most important message"<br/><br/>

Pope Benedict XVI wrote a message in the year of World Social Communications Day and pointed out to the media about their need to face several important challenges with the most important one which is being a responsible person.<br/><br/>

The President of Pontifical Council of Social Communications Archbishop John Foley proposed the following insights to the media: "We should not only condemn the corrupted side of the media, but rather making use of the media to induce the media to conversion and changing it because the media sector is also a living part of the mystical body.<br/><br/>

We need to remember the basic virtue of life is to disallow people to be deceived by false promises. We always have to remember the basic virtue, such as the origin and destiny of life along with the redemption accomplished by Christ.<br/><br/>

I would like to invite the Catholic News media practitioners not to feel shy for their Catholic faith, because, as the Pope said, Jesus is the truth and life, we do not need to feel ashamed for the essential of the fact. (Source: Vatican Radio)<br/><br/>

In August 2007, the month before my return to Hong Kong, the faithful in Toronto set up a private website for me with the intention to put up past and present sermons as well as spiritual information to be posted on the network platform so that they can be shared with other faithful from different areas and regions. So far, there are more than 123,000 people (counting the first hit) entering into the website.<br/><br/>

Since the first day of launching the website, I look forward in making known the good news of Jesus Christ be known throughout the world: "Let all be one!" (John 17:21) I also hope that people without faith will benefit from the website, as the scenery of Paul preaching at Athens, “Then Paul stood up at the Areopagus and said: "You Athenians, I see that in every respect you are very religious. For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, 'To an Unknown God.' What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you.” (Acts 17: 22-23)<br/><br/>

I deeply aware that the most touching moment is none other than the silent preaching of Jesus, as he sacrificed himself completely on the cross: “And about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"” (Matthew 27:46)<br/><br/>

The complete sacrifice of Jesus is the most powerful message of human salvation. By the same principal, it is only convincing if we can live out what we preached.<br/><br/>

I always remind myself with the words of St. PaulL we must not pass on the gospel messages to others, and then fall into hell ourselves.
