Congratulations! Thank you so much for accepting God's call and dedicating your life to all of us. It will be hard work, I'm sure. But it will be very rewarding. Thank you so much.

Tim

The homily covered a lot of things but the main idea was that when Jesus ascended to heaven He made heaven possible in our hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit and we must live accordingly. Jesus called us to live like Him: and earthly life connteced with God and so we must do, we are not to live a double life (like we look good outside but ionside we are ugly...) and the other beautiful thing he said was that Jesus came and showed us how we must live: Jesus brought joy and so much joy around Him, so must we as well do, bring joy around us...
He said so many other things on that but those what sticked most...
