Your Eminence, Stephen Cardinal Chow, SJ, congratulations on your elevation. You have put so much hard work and dedication to your service to the Church. While your elevation gives pride to your countrymen, you also give us hope for the future as OFW in Hong Kong. I pray that each one of us could be treated well in this society, that Hong Kong would be a home away from home for us working to survive in our daily life, that the Church could give us more motivation to replenish our spiritual life.
Your continuing service in love and in faith is indeed a blessing from above for us. And always remember, that you will always be accompanied by our humble prayers and those people of goodwill.

We are all similar to blind sheep who need someone to lead us, especially on our spiritual aspect. As a servant who leads other servants, I hope Cardinal Chow can keep guiding us.
