PAVILION, CEBU CITY - At the second day of the 51st International Eucharist Congress, Jan. 25 2016, Kabankalan Bishop Patricio Buzon led the Morning Pfraise at Feast of the Conversion of St Paul.

He prayed for the transformation of all Christians like St. Paul so they can be effective in proclaiming Christ.

“Like St. Paul, we need to enter into the darkness to encounter Christ.  Let us proclaim our emptiness and let Christ into our lives.”

According to the bishop, only in letting go of our control can Christ work in us.

“Families are reconciled; young people are catechized if we are open and allow the Lord to work.  I realize I am the biggest stumbling block of the Lord.  With my laziness and mediocrity, my heart is full of myself.  No wonder, we cannot fully work.  Jesus can come into our hearts and transform us to himself.  If we surrender ourselves to him, allow Jesus to take root in us.”  (Report by Fr. Lito
Jopson, CBCP ECSC)
