Thank God I accidentally found this program. Abp Socrates is one of favorite priests. I enjoy and look forward to his homilies/sermons....normally touching on the Last, the Least and the Lost which fall in line with my principles of life especially when I was teaching. Today’s Gospel was touching on this topic also. Btw I’m Malaysian retired teacher following the Philippines online masses

What a realization that I am on the right track. Nagbabad ako sa internet to enrich my Catholic faith through Pope Francis,, Bishops ( jncluding Bishop Soc) and priests ( come to know more priests all over the world, though on line). To know Jesus more has been my quarantine companion. Praise God! I am not wrong that my target in death is... Heaven
