Dear Friends
On this 200th birthday of Frederick Ozanam, I hope Pope Francis will give a talk or write something for the anniversary. I just did a quick Google search but could not find any direct reference to FO by Cardinal Bergoglio. If any reader can find one, please let me know and I'll post it (jdwomi@gmail.com )
This
blog has previously expressed the hope that Pope Francis will canonise Oscar
Romero and Matteo Ricci.
I'm now adding Frederick Ozanam to the list ...and Ozanam has a head start since
he's already "Blessed" !
My "Foreigner in Hong Kong" column in today's Ming Pao newspaper is about Ozanam, and has the St V de P logo
Blessed Frederick Ozanam, please pray for us as we try to serve the poor!
p.s.
After local St VdP CEO spoke about you at last Sunday night's gathering for the
poor in Yau Ma Tei,
hope you enjoyed 90 ex-inmates and other poor people singing "Happy
Birthday" for you!
