Pinasalamatan ni Antipolo Bishop Ruperto Santos ang dedikasyon ng lahat ng manggagawa sa mga parokya.
Sa pagdiriwang ng Jubilee of the Parish Church Staff ng diyosesis kinilala ng obispo ang masigasig na paglilingkod ng mga manggagawa na naging katuwang ng mga pari sa paglingap sa pangangailangan ng nasasakupang kawan.
“Your roles as disciples of Christ hold even greater significance. Your dedication to supporting our Parish Priests and other pastoral staff mirrors your deep-rooted faith and unwavering commitment to the Church’s mission,” bahagi ng pahayag ni Bishop Santos.
Sinabi ng obispo na hindi nasusukat sa taon ng pagsisilbi sa mga parokya ang paglilingkod ng parish church staff kundi ito ay paghahayag ng matapat at matatag na pangako, pagmamahal, at pananampalataya sa pagsasakatuparan ng misyon bilang bahagi ng kristiyanong pamayanan.
Binigyang diin ni Bishop Santos na ang kanilang paglilingkod at dedikasyon ay nagsisilbing inspirasyon sa kapwa upang tahakin ang landas ng katuwiran at matapat na paglilingkod sa sambayanan.
“You have been the pillars of our community, guiding and nurturing the faithful, and embodying the teachings of Christ in your daily lives,” ani Bishop Santos.
Umaasa ang obispo na ang pagdiriwang ng Jubilee Year ng simbahan partikular sa mga parish church staff ay mapaalalahanan ang lahat ng lingkod ng simbahan sa diwan ng pananampalataya, pagkakaisa at patuloy na paglilingkod sa Panginoon.
Apela nitong patuloy suportahan ang mga pari sa kanilang gawaing pagpapastol sa mga parokya at isabuhay ang mga halimbawa ni Hesus sa pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng mananampalataya.
“As we look to the future, let us reaffirm our commitment to living as true disciples of Christ. Let us continue to support one another, uplift our Parish Priests, and work together in fulfilling the Church’s mission. May our actions, words, and deeds reflect the love and compassion of Christ, bringing hope and light to all those we encounter,” giit ni Bishop Santos.
