Fr. Ryan's Mass at Seminary

Yesterday evening we were happy to have Rev. Fr. Ryan Innas Muthu to celebrate his Thanksgiving Mass at the seminary. He was ordained on October 1st 2007. I journeyed with him since 2001 when i joined the seminary and he was in his 3rd year (2nd year philosophy). We were together again in Singapore when i joined in 2005 to start my theological studies. But i remember him way back in the year 1996 when we went for a vocation camp in College General, Major Seminary in Penang. (Ryan, do you still remember the Nasi Kandar we had at Komtar just before taking the bas back home!!) At that camp there were about 99 participants (short of one and i guess he went missing. Not to worry, Christ has gone looking for him! So are you that one?) and the camp has produced and still producing many fruits. His classmate now Fr. Stanley also from that camp was ordained on October 4th. Waiting for him to come back to the seminary to celebrate a mass with us.

Seeing him celebrating the mass, was really a good motivation for me. His homily was a call to all of us seminarians to persevere and trust in the Lord. I am sure the mass brought back memories to the formators of their own 1st mass and i could see their look of pride for nurturing and guiding Fr. Ryan in becoming a priest.

Dear friends, I ask of your continuous prayers for us seminarians and priest. God bless you.
