KL prelate hopes to see more collaboration among seminaries

13117681161412857325Pastores Dabo Vobis [PDV] (I shall give you shepherds) a document by Pope John Paul II in 1992 on the Formation of Priests has guided our seminaries in forming priests these past 22 years. I can vouch for its comprehensiveness (as it looks into aspects of the Human, Spiritual, Intellectual, Communitarian and Pastoral Formation). I am a product of PDV.

While the broad areas of formation are still relevant, I think we have been slow to anticipate and provide training for our priests to face the fast changing world and its new demands on our priests. The changing social and political landscape of our nation requires that our future priests understand and are able to respond to new challenges.

New KL prelate promises to dedicate his ministry to nation building

Julian 3KAJANG  – In his maiden speech as Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur on 6 Oct 2014 at the Church of the Holy Family, Kajang, Selangor, Most Rev Julian Leow Beng Kim  addressed the Malaysian population:   “It is with humility and meekness that I accept this appointment as the fourth Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur. I am humbled by the Holy Father, Pope Francis’ trust and confidence in me, for thrusting such a heavy responsibility onto my shoulders. I feel like Jeremiah in Jer 1: 6-8, but the Lord’s presence assures me not to be afraid for the Holy Spirit is with me.

Hence, I take up this office at a time when this nation is at a juncture when all that we have built-up, sacrificed for and taken for granted, may be lost forever if we, as a nation, make the wrong choices.

Thought for November 2014

The Synod and the Spirit

There is a certain panic in some quarters of the Church on the heels of the Synod’s somewhat abstract post discussion report (relatio post disceptationem). People are asking, “What are the bishops doing in Rome? What is the Pope doing?” But the real question is what is the Holy Spirit doing? For the Spirit is the one Jesus sent to “teach you all truth.”  The Spirit is our advocate, our help, our consoler, our strength, our wisdom… but also the one who convicts, enlightens, and exposes our hearts so that we have the opportunity to always move deeper toward the truth that sets us free.

New KL archbishop installed

Julian 3KAJANG – Newly-installed archbishop of the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur, the Rev Msgr Julian Leow (pix), has called on the church to take a new and fresh perspective and actions that can foster not only peace and harmony but also respect and understanding for people of all faiths.

“If we, as a nation, have not reconciled our past of how we have struggled side by side to build our nation, if we do not acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices of the people, we will continue to stagnate and never progress to be who we can and should be as Malaysians and remain a nation divided in herself and never stand tall.

“Malaysia needs united Malaysians in mind, heart and soul,” Leow said in his speech after his installation today.
