New KL prelate promises to dedicate his ministry to nation building
KAJANG – 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.
