My dear Fr Luis, what a wonderful honour it is to congratulate you on this auspicious day. Your Golden Jubilee. I loved the way you simply mention that you met Pope John Paul and Mother Teresa , how cool is that! I know you as my classmate and I was so happy to read Cleto’s message and that of Austin’s too. How proud we are of you and of having a padre in our midst, our very own padre. Although it was annoying that at end of term in school, you always managed to bag the No 1 spot when the results were announced!!! I always remember an essay you wrote about your mum, she was very special to you and your love for her and your family has alway shone through. You have so much love to give and it you give it so willingly. Your lovely and supportive messages to me (and to many people as I can see from previous messages) have been so comforting in our days of sadness or trouble. I truly admire your hunger for knowledge and I can see that in the way you have embraced technology and applied it to overcoming some of the issues your sight loss have created. Your joy in everything you do and everyone you come across is so apparent. I add my congratulations to the multitude of others you have received. I thank God for your presence in my life, send you loads of love and that of Candice. Enjoy the celebration and may God always bless you Vivienne
