Teachers' Guide
Dear Teachers,
‘I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people’ (Luke 2:10). Such a beautiful promise of a gift from God!
In our day-to-day life, God’s manifestations come in different ways, sometimes in the most awesome appearance, sometimes in the simplest expression. But for the entire Columban community and for all concerned, the release of Fr Michael Sinnott, after being kidnapped on 11 October 2009, was such an early but the greatest Christmas gift. Yes, too early for us to celebrate Christmas as well as the Advent season as we look into the light of Father Mick’s captivity.

YOUR TURN
By Lu Mahino
Our letter sender, Lu Mahino, is from Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte
and is presently based in Hong Kong. She is an active parishioner in Rosary Church parish, serving as lector and youth coordinator.
Sometime in September, Fr Eamon Sheridan, the assistant parish priest for the
English-speaking congregation at Rosary Church, Kowloon, Hong Kong, posted the
Misyon link on Facebook featuring The Road to Agoo by ‘truknoiz’ (Kurt Pala).
‘Inspiring’ was the way Father Eamon, who is a member of the Columban General
Council, which moved from Ireland to Hong Kong last year, described it.
Thank you, Kurt. I've been going over your detailed account for the nth time and, like I said before, you really truly rock! You completed your pilgrimage within days and in the process ‘gained’ yourself. You will always have this experience to guide you, to fall back on - what a blessing! By sharing the experience with us, you in turn have become a blessing. For over a week now I’ve been depressed, and re-reading your article has somewhat reinforced my resolve to snap out of this rut.
God bless you, Kurt. You have the makings of a good priest.
Again, thank you, and thanks to Father Eamon who made it possible for me and my friends to whom I forwarded the link, to read about such an awesome experience.

I really thank to one who wrote this article. I have always been reading and writing texts like this in blogs. Also, I, as a daily writer, present my respects to everyone. I just watched videos like this in youtube. I research in all areas.
I think people must first research before writing.
