“What can I give back to the Lord for all his goodness? I shall move to the altar to invoke the name of the Lord.”
This is how I began my first mass I celebrated 50 years ago. I would like to do the same today at this Mass of thanksgiving. Only Him knows all those who have loved me, helped me and encouraged me without myself giving back much to them. My debts of love have simply accumulated over the years. Only the Lord can give them back what they deserved.
May the Lord bless you all dear parents, friends and benefactors. Jules Roy, M.Afr
