Parishioners across the Diocese of Penang rolled up their sleeves to aid those in need during the season of Lent. We are grateful for their efforts to give others hope through their actions!

Education is the key that unlocks the door to unlimited possibilities and has the ability to transform lives. Let us take concrete action to throw open the doors to learning to all, especially those who need it most.

Mother Earth now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her.

The Church’s love for the poor . . . is a part of her constant tradition. This love is inspired by the Gospel of the Beatitudes, of the poverty of Jesus, and of his concern for the poor.

As we continue our journey this Lent, let us be inspired to renew our hearts and to reach out in compassion. Through our actions, we can bring hope.

This Lent, let us renew our commitment to walk with the poor (the powerless), to let their faith and courage evangelize us, and to make Christ’s light shine through concrete acts of love.
