Annunciation of the Lord

Excerpts from the homily of Archbishop Romulo Valles, D.D. during the the Canonical Installation of Bishop Ronald Lunas at Sto. Nino Cathedral, Pagadian.

The main role of the bishop is to “announce” or make “announcements” about the business of the Lord that he is “Emmanuel!” Remember that this announcement is like what happened in Jerusalem when there is no wifi or internet. The challenge to spread the good news — it is the task of the bishop of Pagadian “Bishop Bong” to see the hand of the Lord along the way complex situation, but you will be able to do that. You have the grace of the office; it is not just your work, you are chosen by the Lord.”
