“Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult it is …. life is good when you are happy, but much better when others are happy because of you.”
-Pope Francis
Lolo Kiko, thank you for serving the Church faithfully up to the end. You have shown us through the witness of your life, the very face of God – who is mercy and love.
Thank you for walking with us, the Church, for listening with a father’s heart, and for teaching us to see Christ in every person.
Thank you for reminding us that the Church is not a museum for saints but a hospital for sinners, and in doing so you brought hope to many.
Your life of humility and openness leaves a lasting mark in our hearts. May our Blessed Mother, whom you love so dearly, welcome you with the heavenly angels in the eternal banquet.
Blessings for the New Asia Pacific Leaders
From our friends in Denmark
Dear Sisters of the Assumption,
At the end of September 2024, four of the Leadership of Rygaards School in Copenhagen, Elsebeth Trap (Principal), Kasper Stæger (Head of Danish Primary School), Brad Baudach (Head of International Secondary School) and myself, Shirley Jacobsen (Head of International Primary School), set out on the long journey almost halfway around the world to visit our Advent and Lenten projects from the past 15 years. We made the decision to do this when we met Sr. Jo and Sr. Irene at Auteuil two years previously.
