A happy New Year may God continue to illuminate his
missionary work in Asia. I apologize for the fact that I am only responding to
your message, until then I was without an internet, today for the first time I
opened to see the messages, I would very much like to continue to receive the
news of Australasia.
So my feeling after 23 years in Japan, feel of a mission
fulfilled with joy, despite having some difficulties and challenges but I went
ahead always believing in the mission to evangelize.
I believed in the work that I had been doing there in JP,
after spending 13 years alone in Hamamatsu, I am happy that the Salesians have
entered Hamamatsu, which this year is 10 years old.If the SDBs continue to work
hard, this work with the migrants Foreigners, I naturally need patience,
kindness to understand their culture, their pain, a lot of patience, and not
just to judge but to welcome everyone.
I urge the SDBs of Japan to be sensitive and attentive to
the needs of the migrants, who have a mind and heart open to this migration
reality. That the SDB of Japan may increasingly be involved in this mission. I
pray and I vow that this mission may emerge. Many thanks to the Japan Province
that welcomed me, allowed and believed in my mission in Hamamatsu and adjacent regions.
