Dear Bong,
How happy to I was to receive your email with so much good news, apart from the sudden death of your father which was a great sadness for you and the family. I offer your my condolences.
Well you know I had no idea that the CHSG was still going strong, and clearly much stronger and of wider scope. I was able to look up the site on the Internet and to see the photo. Give my regards to Alma and Ramón whom I remember so well too, and to all the other members.
Your own dedication and enthusiasm, Bong, has been a great source of light for the group and it does my heart good to see that you have absorbed so much of the Holy Scriptures and are a fervent Catholic living in the infinite love of our great God and Father revealed in Jesus in the Church by the Spirit. To know Jesus Christ and live in his love in his Holy Church is the best possible thing in life and to be able to awaken others to reality by reaching out to them with the Word of God is a great service for which they will be eternally grateful. i pray that your own journey into greater holiness may bear fruit for the lives of many who otherwise might be lost and confused.
It is good to know too that you are a happily married man for quite some years now and I'm sure you hove a very full life between the family, your work at the school, giving retreats and also the CHSG.
My work here in Peru for these years his been very interesting. Even though a lot of it is administration, I do quite a bit of pastoral work, visiting the sick, Masses and also giving scripture courses.
Unfortunately there is no marist father in the Cotabato City these times. We have a mission way up in Timanan, but sometime Fr. Aliki langi who is the parish priest comes to the city. He knows a lot about he Old Testament and also knows some Hebrew and he could teach you too some Hebrew hymns. If you ever come across him you can ask him and if he has a few spare moments he could help you.
I shall follow with interest the activities of the CHSG and if I ever have the chance to return to the Philippines I would certainly love to visit you there, but I don't know when that will be, if ever. But maybe someday.
May the Lord, bless, you, your family and the CHSG members.,
With prayers,
Fr Larry Duffy s.m.
