I
wish to impart my sincerest greetings to our Golden Jubilarian
Reverend
Monsignor Vicente “Teng” Manlapig, P.C. on
the occasion of his 50th
Sacerdotal Anniversary.
It
is but providential that Msgr. Teng's Golden Sacerdotal Anniversary
coincides with in the year of our Golden Jubilee Celebration as a
diocese. The theme of our celebration, “Diocese
of Malolos: Biyaya at Pananampalataya, Fifty Years of Transforming
Grace and Unwavering Faith” could
very well speak of the fifty years of transforming grace and
unwavering faith of Msgr. Teng.
The past five decades in
the ministry of Msgr. Teng reflect the many years of frutiful and
meaningful service to God and to His people. His fifty years of being
a priest mirror the very action of Jesus in the Eucharist. Every
priest just like the bread and wine is taken, broken and given in the
sacrifice of the mass. Msgr. Teng was taken from his comfort zone
fifty years ago to be molded and fashinoed in the very image of Jesus
Christ, the High Priest. He was being broken each day as a priest
everytime he experiences trials, persecutions and desolations.
Finally he is being given each day just like the bread and wine in
order to give life, to inspire and to remind people of Jesus'
presence in our life.
Fifty years that has been
your life and still will be for remaning years to come... to be
taken, to be broken and to be shared. Thank you for your generous
response to the call of God. May you continue to inspire us to
believe in God's unconditional love and to be faithful to the gift of
the priesthood. Congratulations and God bless you!
Most.
Rev. Jose F. Oliveros, D.D.
Bishop of Malolos
